, .� o,� <br /> O � O CITY of ORONO <br /> � <br /> � �+ RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> �� y' ��� No. 6 2 4 6 <br /> �`�kEsHog'� <br /> proposal is generally consistent with the plans as approved by Resolution No. <br /> 5553. <br /> f.

The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br /> recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by <br /> the Developer and the public, and the effect of the proposed variances on the <br /> health, safety and welfare of the community. <br /> 5.
