City of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. <br />(1) Based on crediting only the land at the building <br />site, the 0-75' hardcover proposed is 2,960 square feet or <br />15.8% and in the 75-250' zone is 3,380 square feet or <br />30.0%. <br />(2) Based on also crediting the northerly portions of the <br />property for the hardcover calculations, 0-75' hardcover <br />is 2,960 square feet or 10.5% and in the 75-250' zone is <br />3,380 square feet or 10.2%. <br />(3) Based on calculating 0-75' and 75-190' from the <br />lagoon, only crediting the building site, and with <br />drainage all directed to the lagoo::; 0-75' lagoon setback <br />hardcover is 14.9% (all existing driveway), in the 75- <br />190' lagoon setback is 34.4%, and in the lakeshore 0-50' <br />setback is 0%. <br />D) Applicant should not be penalized for the existing driveway <br />hardcover in the lagoon 0-75' zone, and in fact his driveway <br />proposa' minimizes the additional driveway hardcover <br />required. <br />E) The neighbors' request for the lakeshore setback and <br />average setback variances to allow for the least disruptive <br />sightlines, to maintain uniformity, and the capability to <br />direct all drainage over 100' of relatively flat lawn area, <br />justify the granting of a variance to the lakeshore setback. <br />F) The unique characteristics of the property i.e. the <br />proposed building site separated f rom the rest of the property <br />by a lagoon, constitute a valid hardship to the property. <br />7. The City Council has considered this application including <br />the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, <br />reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the <br />effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and <br />welfare of the community. <br />Paqu 2 of 5 <br />
