V`OQ CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7448 11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter."Granting the requested variance will not adversely impact health,safety,comfort,or morals of the community.The proposed home will not impact any currently enjoyed views of the lake by neighboring properties.This criterion is met. 12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant,but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." The average lakeshore setback variance allows the existing home to be raised approximately a foot for better insulation and energy code compliance. The variance also allows an addition underneath an existing deck on the lakeside of the home and two new deck stairs.These improvements create new expansions within the average lakeshore setback since the existing home does not comply with the setback. The proposed improvements to the home are modest and minimal in nature to achieve a modernized home.This criterion is met.
