4. E. r. B.As a condition of the 1992 approvals, required hardcover improvements have been removed and hardcover is currently at 4,991 s.f. or 36.1%. C.Based on the curvature of the shoreline and the location of mature trees in the adjacent street yards, the proposed 6’ expansion of a deck beyond the average lakeshore setback line poses no visual impact on the adjacent properties. D.The proposed improvements will result in additional reductions in hardcover within the 75-250’ setback area. The lakeside deck would be consistent with adjacent lakeside decks on residences also designed with walkouts to lakeshore. 543.6 s.f. of new deck area shall be installed over 378 s.f. of patio and former paved walk area approved in 1992. 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 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 applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserv-e 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. 5.The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, satety and welfare of the community. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, tlie Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Sections 10.22, Subdivisions 1 (B) and 2 to permit the construction of a lakeside deck of approximately 543.6 s.f., subject to the following conditions: Page 2 of 5
