The ordinance does require the filing of covenants which will provide the City the necessary controls with a future subdivision of property. C) The greenhouse structure cannot be seen from the adjacent County Road nor from the residential properties within the Millston plat because of mature evergreen plantings along the boundaries of the subject property and within the adjacent residential lots, D) The greenhouse will supply plantings for flower beds totaling 6,386 s.f. of area on the estate. 4. 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. 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. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the findings noted above, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivision 9 (C) 1 and 2 to permit the construction of a greenhouse totalling 2,604 s.f. in area, subject to the following conditions; 1.
