Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-282 and 78-1288 and 78- 350 Subdivision B to allow construction of a new single family residence and hardcover within the 75'-250' zone of 2,330 s.f. or 44.98% where 25% is normally allowed subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the site plan submitted by the applicant and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A. Any amendments to the site plan which are not in conformity with City codes will require further Planning Commission and City Council review. 2. Hardcover in the 0-75' zone shall not increase above the 0%. Hardcover in the 75-250' zone shall be limited to 2,330 s.f. or 44.98% per the proposed plan and hardcover allowance summary as depicted on Exhibit A. Applicant is advised that any future requests to increase hardcover or change the nature of existing/approved hardcover shall require City approval, and increases in hardcover will not likely be approved without concurrent reduction in existing hardcover. 3. Applicant shall remove all plastic or fabric liner material from the decorative landscape beds on the property to ensure their permeability as non-hardcover surfaces. 4. Required removals of structure and hardcover shall be completed before the footing inspection. 5. The lowest floor of the house shall be established no lower than the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation of 932.5' MSL. 6. Prior to building permit issuance, the applicant shall supply sufficient site elevations and grading and drainage information to satisfy the City Engineer that there will be no encroachment or filling of the floodplain and that all drainage shall be handled so far as to not cause drainage problems for this residence or the neighborhood. 7. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the property not with the applicant, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the new construction within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variance will expire on that date (March 22, 2005).
