City of ORONO CITY RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF NO. 2504 1,ORQN. 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 applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demon- strable 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 one or more of the findings noted above, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 to permit the construction of a major addition to the existing residence resulting in an increase of 502 s.f. or 1.89% of new structural hardcover within the 75-250' setback area where 7,748 s.f. or 29.2% already exists and only 25% is allowed, subject to the following conditions : 1.
