CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. ^ 8_____ 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variances and conditional use permit would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivisions 1 and 2, Section 10.55, Subdivision 8, and Section 10.56, Subdivision 16 (L) for the construction of a 4' wide walkway parallel to the shoreline for a distance of approximately 30' and within the 0-75* zone where no hardcover or structure is normally allowed, and a variance to Section 10.22, Subdivision 1, Section 10.55, Subdivision 8, and Section 10.56, Subdivision 16 (J) to allow filling and grading in the 0-75’ lakeshore setback zone where such work normally is not allowed, and grants a conditional use permit per Section 10.03, Subdivision 19 for land alteration in the 0-75* lakeshore setback zone, subject to the following conditions: 1.The shoreline maintenance work including boulder wall improvement, riprap improvement and sand fill shall follow the plans submitted by the applicant's landscape designer. 2.
