The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br />recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staft, comments <br />by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety <br />and welfare of the community. <br />CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br />Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby <br />grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.28, Subdivision 5 (B) to permit a <br />covered porch located 22' from the front lot line where 50' is required.
