CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL 6659 NO. _______ _ in the Crystal Bay neighborhood. Further, the Property was assessed for a sewer unit and provided with municipal sewer in 1985, hence the Property was assumed to be buildable as a combination of two lots at that time, as evidenced by City Council Resolution No.1797. B 11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or morals, or in any other respect be con1rary to the intent of this chapter." Granting of the area, width, setback and lot coverage variances would not impair health, safety, comfort or morals and would be in keeping with the intent of the zoning code. B 12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty/' The lot size as compared to the RR-lB zoning standards is a practical difficulty, as adherence to those standards would result in a very narrow buildable envelope and a home that would be out of character with the surrounding neighborhood. Granting of the area, width and setback variances will solve a practical difficulty that otherwise would make the lot virtually unusable·for a single family home.
