City of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 4. The subject property is a corner lot, and restricting construction of a detached garage to the normal accessc.ry structure building envelope would either cause the garage to be constructed an unusually great distance f rom the house and existing driveway, or would cause encroachment into the existing septic system and well locations. 5.
