CITY ORONO City of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 1700________ 4. The Council finds that a complete t: odeoff in hardcover is possible if portions of existing hardcover within the 75- 250* lakeshore setback zone a,re removed in conjunction with the removal of portions of existing hardcover within the 75* lakeshore setback zone. This will result in no overall net increase in hardcover. 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. 6. 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. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to the Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 1 and 10.55 Subdivision 8 to allow construction of decks and an addition to the existing house 28 feet from the lakeshore where a 75* setback is required, and a variance to Section 10.22 Subdivision 2 to allow an increase in hardcover in the 0-75' setback zone from 2,866 square feet (or 7.5%) to 3,390 square feet (or 8.9%) where no hardcover is allowed, subject to the following conditions: page 2 of 5
