4 . 5 . 6 . necessary The City Council reviewed this application on December 14, 1992 and considered the recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, verbal and written comments by the applicant and his attorney, and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. On December 14, 1992, the City Council voted 3 in favor, 1 against, with 1 abstention, to grant approval of the variance as requested by the applicant and direct staff to draft a resolution for approval. On January 11.. 1993 the applicant revised his request by requesting that the initially proposed lot line be moved westward, leaving 1.23 acres in Lot 2 and leaving Lot 1 with 1.78 acres plus 0.23 acres credit from Outlot A for a total of 2.01 acres. The Council finds that granting a variance to allow such credit is in keeping with the unique circumstances of Resolution #1178. The Council hereby determines that Resolution #1178 esv*ab]ishes a unique contract between the City and the applicant and the Council further finds that, whether or not said contract is legally enforceable, the unique circumstances surrounding Resolution #1178 and the subsequent placement of the MUSA boundary establish the clear intent of a past City Council which the current City Council intends to uphold. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grant variances to Municipal Zoning Code Sections 10. , Subdivision 5 (B) and 1C.03, Subdivision 6 (B) and variances to Subdivision Code Sections 11.10, Subdivision 14 and 11.03.^4 to permit the subdivision of the applicant's property to create a acre lot with the existing residence and a 2+ acre new bull mg site in the RR-IB Zoning District using non-contiguous acreage where each lot would normally be required to contain at least two acres of contiguous area, subject to the following conditions: Page 2 of 5
