04`��'0 <br />Af <br />cp� <br />CITY of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. 6Q6 <br />proposal is generally consistent with the plans as approved by Resolution No. <br />5553. <br />f.

The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br />recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports. by City staff, comments by <br />the Developer and the public, and the effect of the proposed variances on the <br />health, safety and welfare of the community. <br />5.
