CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7463 4 designed to minimize any current lake view enjoyed by the 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 a home to be constructed on a vacant lot. The lot and proposed home have been carefully designed to meet all other setback requirements including the lake setback of 150 feet. The placement and height of the proposed home minimize impacts on existing lake views currently enjoyed by neighboring properties. This criterion is met. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS: Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-1279 to allow the construction of a new house within the average lakeshore setback subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings. 2. The approved project shall conform to the attached site plan and building plans submitted by the Applicant and annotated by City staff (hereinafter the “Plans”), attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A & B. 3. Any amendments to the plans which are not in conformity with City codes may require further Planning Commission and City Council review. 4. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the Applicants, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the new construction and commencing construction of said project. A framing inspection must be completed within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variance will expire on that date (April 8, 2025). 5. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution may result in the termination of any authority granted herein. 106
