The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on <br />August 20, 1990 and recommended approval of t e proposed <br />variance on a vote of 3 to 2 based upon the following findings: <br />a. The proposed clay tennis court is proposed at th<^ normal <br />tennis court orientation of north/south. Topograp' j the <br />site is such that as the tennis court moves further from the <br />side lot line, the topography steepens so that additional <br />grading would be necessary and many additional trees would <br />have to be destroyed to accomodate the tennis court. <br />b.
