<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />CITY OF ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br />NO. 7584 <br /> <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />the landowners’ right to improve or develop their property as the small building envelope <br />created by the applicable setbacks creates a hardship. This criterion is met; and <br /> <br />B11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or <br />morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter; granting a variance <br />in this situation is not contrary to the intent of the Zoning Regulations. The proposed project <br />involves little to no lakeward encroachments or lakeview impacts, and an overall reduction to <br />hardcover within the 75-foot lake setback. This criterion is met; and <br /> <br />B12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the Applicant, but is <br />necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty; the requested variances are necessary to <br />make any improvements to the existing house and appurtenances and does not merely <br />serve as a convenience to the Applicant. This criterion is met. <br /> <br /> <br />CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS: <br /> <br /> Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants <br />variances from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1279 and 78-1680 for a home <br />expansion project, including modifications and expansions to the existing front porch, deck, and <br />roof eaves, with a chimney shroud addition, within the average lakeshore and 75-foot lakeshore <br />setbacks, and new hardcover within the 75-foot lakeshore setback, subject to the following <br />conditions: <br /> <br />1. Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings. <br /> <br />2. The approved project shall conform to the plans submitted by the Applicant, attached to <br />this Resolution as Exhibit A. <br /> <br />3. Any amendments to the plans which are not in conformity with City codes may require <br />further Planning Commission and City Council review. <br /> <br />4. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the owners, but are <br />permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the new <br />construction and commencing construction of said project. A framing inspection must be <br />completed within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variance will expire on <br />that date (May 12, 2026). <br /> <br />5. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution may <br />result in the termination of any authority granted herein. <br /> <br />110
