A. 5. 6. B. D. The boat house would only remain on the lot without a principal building during the demolition and reconstruction period. The lot is only required to meet 80% of lot area and width requirements because it is sewered and less than 1 acre in size. C. The size of the lot allows an adequate building envelope, no other variances should be allowed to construct a new home. A letter supporting the preservation of the boathouse was submitted by a neighboring property owner located at 2691 Casco Point Road. 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 applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, tne Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subd. 9 (A); to permit an accessory structure to remain on the lot without t principal structure for period between the removed of the existing house and construction oi a new residence.
