"1 <br />4. <br />5. <br />A. The property does not meet minimum lot area or lot width requirements. <br />B. The proposed improvements are to the street side of the existing <br />residence. <br />C. The improvements will be placed over existing non-structural hardcover. <br />D. Due to the climate, a roof over an entryway is reasonable. <br />The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar <br />to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that <br />granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor <br />pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely <br />serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a <br />demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial <br />property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and <br />intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br />The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br />recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br />by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and <br />welfare of the community. <br />CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br />Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby <br />grants a hardcover variance per Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 to permit <br />the addition of a roof over existing non-structural hardcover, a concrete slab, at the front <br />entrance, subject to the following conditions: <br />1.Authorities granted by this variance run with the property not with the applicant, <br />but are permissive only and must be exercised by application for a building <br />permit within one year of the date of Council approval, or this variance will <br />expire on that date (May 28, 1997). <br />Page 2 of 4
