D) The applicants were granted a variance in 1976 to construct <br />major additions to the house, which were approved at that time <br />conditioned upon removal of a 201x20' concrete patio on the <br />lakeshore side of the house. That patio has never been removed. <br />The applicants' hardship in needing that patio or a portion of it <br />relates to ice build-up and winter access to the house in <br />conjunction with his existing wooden deck. The existing concrete <br />slab is in two separate units, and the southerly 101x20' portion <br />can easily be removed without causing damage to the remaining <br />portion. This will result in a 200 s.f. reduction in hardcover <br />in the 0-75' zone. <br />E) Although the total hardcover on the property is less square <br />footage than would be allowed within the 75-250' zone, the fact <br />that a significant portion of that hardcover is in the 0-75' zone <br />is ample justification for reduction of 0-75' hardcover, <br />especially in this case where that hardcover was previously <br />required to be removed. <br />4. The City Council has considered this application including the <br />findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by <br />City staff, comments by the applicants and the effect of the proposed <br />variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. <br />5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this <br />property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other <br />property in this zoning district; that granting the %ariance would not <br />adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard <br />or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a <br />cca venience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demon- <br />strable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial <br />property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the <br />spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the <br />City. <br />CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br />Based upon one or more of the findings noted above, the Orono <br />City Council hereby grants a variance per Municipal Zoning Code Section <br />10.23, Subdivision 6 (B) -:o permit the construction of a sunroom addition <br />located 19' from the street lot line where a 50' street yard setback is <br />normally required, and grants a variance to Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 to <br />allow additional structural hardcover on the property when a significant <br />portion of the existing hardcover is in the 0-75' lakeshore setback zone, <br />subiect to the following conditions: <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
