� I ��o� Il CITY of ORONO <br />• <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. 5 4 9 4 . <br />a. The original portion of the house was constructed in 1938. It is <br />substantially built and has architectural merit. <br />b. There is no way to expand the house without a variance. <br />c. The foundation area of the house is 2,089 square feet. The property has <br />9.6 percent building lot coverage when 15 percent would be allowed. <br />d. The addition will not require any additional hardcover and the total <br />hardcover on the lot is being reduced as a condition of the variance. <br />5. The City Council has considered this application including the findings <br />and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, <br />comments by the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed <br />variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. <br />6. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are <br />peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning <br />district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic <br />conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring <br />property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is <br />necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to <br />preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in <br />keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive <br />Plan of the City. <br />CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br />Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby <br />grants a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1279(1) to allow <br />construction of a second story over the garage portion of a house that is located entirely <br />within the 75 foot lakeshore setback and a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code <br />Section 78-78-305(b) to allow construction of this addition with a 17.6 foot setback from <br />the east side property line when a 30 foot side setback is required, subject to the <br />following conditions: <br />1. Council approval is based on the site plan and building elevations submitted by <br />the applicants and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits <br />• A and B. Any amendments to the site plan or elevations will require further <br />Planning Commission and City Council review. <br />Page 2 <br />
