♦! City of ORONO V / i- RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 2184_____ ------------------- r>Jr;?U . ^Si B) The ground level deck proposed on the lake side of the house will have no railing and will have no effect on neighboring views of the lake. C) Applicant requests to keep the existing detached garage for storage because the existing house has only a 300 s.f. basement hence existing storage is limited. • D) Planning Commission finds that it is appropriate to allow applicant to keep the existing garage during construction of the additions* but that there are no hardships demonstrated to justify retention of that detached garage once the new attached garage is completed. E) Upon removal of the detached garage* applicant's 75-250* hardcover will revert to a total of 54.4%* or a 1.5% increase over the pre-existing 52.9%. 4. The City Council finds no hardship to justify an increase in 75- 250* hardcover* and finds that it is feasible to remove existing hardcover so that there is no net increase. 5. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission* reports by City staff* comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health* safety and welfare of the community. 6. 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 variance 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 applicant* but is necessary to alleviate a deiaon- strable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. C0IICUI8X0HS* OM>n AMD COMDITIOHS Based upon the above findings* the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to the Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.25* Subdivision 6 (B) and Section 10.22* Subdivision 1 and 2 to permit the construction of a 12'x24* ground level deck* a 28*x47* second story over the existing house* and a 12'x31* attached garage addition; the second story addition requiring 5.8* and 3.4* right and side setbacks respectively where 10* side setbacks are normally required* and requiring an average lakeshore setback encroachment variance of 18* where no average lakeshore setback encroachsMnt is normally allowed; the attached garage addititMi requiring a 9.2* right side setback where 10* side setback is normally required; and the additions in total requiring a variance for excessive hardcover in the 75-250* lakeshore setback zone where only 25% hardcover is normally allowed* subject to the following conditions; Page 2 of 5
