The need for fill in excess of 100 cubic yards is directly related to the required minimum floor elevations associated with adjacency to a floodplain, which eliminated the possibility of excavating the necessary material from the site. The proposed grading plan will allow the construction of a driveway and garage located at the main floor level of the proposed residence structure. The proposed grading plan will allow for proper drainage away from the proposed residence. The proposed fill and grading will not be out of character with the surrounding neighborhood, but will provide a tran.‘ .lion between the liigher lot to the south and the lower lot to the north. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by staff and comments of the applicants and the effect of the proposed use on the health, safety, and welfare of the community. The City Council finds that granting a conditional use permit to allow the importation of 426 cubic yards of fill will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the public, would not adversely affect light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring properties, nor will it depreciate surrounding property values and that the proposed level of use of the property will be in keeping with the intent and objectives of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon the findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a conditional use permit per Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.03 Subdivisions 20 and 21 to permit the importation of approximately 426 cubic yards of fill material in conjunction with the construction of a new residence on the property, subject to the following conditions: Page 2 of 5
