CITY OF ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />6 5 4 6' NO. _______ _ <br />I. The project is not anticipated to result in a nuisance condition. <br />m. The applicant will be required to keep debris off of the public roadways. The <br />noise resulting from the trucks and equipment moving the material in and <br />around the site should be minimized to the extent possible. The grading project <br />will be evaluated and monitored by the City Engineer and planning staff so as <br />to minimize nuisances during the project. <br />n. The overall long term effect of the project is anticipated to result in minimal if <br />any environmental impacts. <br />o. This project is anticipated to result in no additional non-residential lighting or <br />glare. <br />p. The project is not anticipated to not be a detriment to the public health, public <br />safety, or general welfare. <br />4. The City Council reviewed this application at a public hearing held on September <br />28, 2015 including the variance request and finds that in addition to the above <br />conditional use permit findings the following factors support the granting of the <br />variance: <br />a. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the <br />Ordinance. The applicant proposes to construct a new residence on a <br />residential property and will meet the shoreland and district setback <br />requirements. <br />b. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The Comp Plan has <br />directives which are put in place to protect the lake, limit massing and <br />hardcover. The proposed plan for a new residence results in neither an <br />increase in structural coverage ( over the permitted 15% level) nor hardcover <br />above 25%. <br />c. The Owner has established that there are practical difficulties. <br />d. The Owner proposes to use the Property in a reasonable manner not <br />permitted by the official controls; the Owner proposes to construct a new <br />home on the Property in conformance with the FEMA floodplain regulations <br />lowest floor and MCWD's lowest opening requirements. In order to do so the <br />Owner is elevating the new home on fill material; the Property is not wide <br />enough to facilitate the requirement that the fill material extend 15 feet from <br />the perimeter at the lowest floor elevation. <br />Page 3 of7
