2. The property is located in the L?-IB Single Family Lakeshore <br />Residential Zoning District. <br />3. The Orono City Council reviewed this application on July 23, <br />1990 and finds that replacement of the existing deteriorating <br />detached garage in kind and in the existing conforming location, <br />will provide a benefit to the property and to the neighborhood <br />while not changing the existing percentage of hardcover on the <br />property. <br />4. The Council further finds that the revised proposal is of <br />such a minor magnitude as to require no further review by the <br />Orono Planning Commission. <br />5. The City Council has cor.sidered this application including <br />the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, <br />reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect <br />of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the <br />community. <br />6. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this <br />property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other <br />property in this zoning district; that granting the variance <br />would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor <br />pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would <br />not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is <br />necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is <br />necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the <br />applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of <br />the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br />CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br />Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby <br />grants a variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision <br />2 to permit the replacement of the existing detached 26' x 22' garage, <br />allowing continuation of the existing 33.7% hardcover in the 75-250 <br />zone where only 25% hardcover is normally allowed, subject to the <br />following conditions; <br />1. Applicant shall submit suitable construction plans for City <br />staff review and approval, verifying that the proposed garage <br />will not exceed the current footprint dimensions and meet all <br />other City requirements. <br />Page 2 of 4
