City of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 167E 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the owner and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 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 hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the owner, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the owner; 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 the above f intli ngs, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to Municipal Zonin-i Code Section 10.03, Subd 9 (D) and 10.27, Subd 5(B) to permit construction of a detached garage nearer the front property line than the existing house, and located 50 feet from the front lot line instead of the 100 foot setback required, subject to the following conditions: 1. The detached garage must be located at least 10 feet from the existing house to meet fire safety requirements. 2. Authcrities granted by this variance run with the property not with the owner , but are permissive only and must be exercised by application for a building permit within one year of the date of Council approval, or this variance will expire on that date September 10, 1985.
