c) A closet addition will be placed over existing non- structural hardcover resulting in no overall increase in hardcover within the 75-250* setback area. 4. 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. 5. 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 demonstrable 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. CONCLOSIONS, ORDEP AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to the Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 to permit the construction of a closet addition at approximately 65 s.f. in area subject to the following conditions: 1. Applicant shall remove approximately 60 s.f. of existing paved hardcover from the driveway and approximately 200 s.f. of landscaped area underlain with porous fabric as shown on Page 5 of this resolution. Existing hardcover within the 75-250* setback area would be reduced to 5,716 s.f. or 30.2% for an overall reduction of .4%. 2. Authorities granted by this variance run with the property not with the applicant, but are permissive only and must be exercised by application for a building permit within one year of the date of Council approval, or this variance will expire on that date (September 10, 1991).
