� � �� 0 0 ° C ITY of ORONO ,� ;� � ti ��l �Gti RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL `�kEsH.o�`' No. .� g 4 n -o-- a. No additional land is available for acquisition by the applicantss to make the property conforming in area or width. b. The property is served with municipal sewer. A single family residence has existed on the property for many years. , c. A new single family residence can be constructed on the property meeting all setbacks and requiring only a hardcover variance. d. Because the property is less than 10,000 s.f. in area it is allowed a 1,500 s.f. structural footprint absent other factors. Construction of a 1,500 s.f. home accounts for 29% of hardcover within the 75'-250' - setback zone. e. The applicants have proposed minimal driveway, walk, and deck in order to limit the magnitude of the hardcover excesses. f. The size of the proposed residence and magnitude of hardcover variance is consistent with other approved development in the neighborhood. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicants and the public, 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 applicants,but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.
