'^•4?' i Vj-^-u City of ORONO /^4y, ► .<}; * *7 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. _24 74 _ _ B) The existing structures were removed as a result of a severe storm that eroded the lakeshore bank and had nothing to do with the improper maintenance of the subject structures. C) There have been no substantial changes in the Code since 1975 when the LR districts and lakeshore standards were established. In 1978, the City approved setback and hardcover variances for a lakeshore deck located approximately 15' from the shoreline and at 210 s.f. of hardcover. D) The steep topography at 1*1 grades at the shoreline requires special consideration for the residents of the property. E) The applicant's physical limitation, as documented by his personal physician's reportv would prevent his full enjoyment of hia lakeshore property if the deck and shed were not restored to the lower lakeshore elevations. 4. 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. 5.
