4. <br />5. <br />C) <br />The recent improveirt;it project for the City of <br />Orono involving an expanded water system within <br />the Highway 12 area is designed to keep the supply <br />(well) and storage (tower) separated. This <br />condition provides the greatest effici.ncy in <br />providing fire flow to any area within the <br />distribution system. The preferred location for <br />the tower would be near Old Crystal Bay Road <br />either on the north or south side of Highway 12. <br />The property is located on the north side of <br />Highway 12 adjacent to Old Crystal Bay Road. <br />As property is owned by City, the City need not <br />purchase additional lands in the preferred <br />placement area thereby reducing overall costs of <br />water tower Installation. <br />The water tower will be located within a row of <br />mature trees providing a natural screening/buffer­ <br />ing of 50 to 60 feet of the base of the tower. <br />The City has received no negative comments from <br />the adjacent property owners most impacted by the <br />installation of the tower. <br />The City Council finds that granting a conditional use <br />permit to allow the installation of an elevated water <br />tank will not be be detrimental to the health, safety <br />or general welfare of the public, would not adversely <br />affect light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other <br />danger to neighboring properties, nor will its use <br />depreciate surrounding property values and that the <br />proposed level of use of the property will be in <br />keeping with the intent and objectives of the Zoning <br />Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br />The City Council has considered this application <br />including the findings and recommendations of the <br />Planning Commission, reports by staff and comments of <br />the applicant and the affect of the proposed use on the <br />health, safety, and welfare of the community. <br />Page 2 of 4
