City of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. <br />8. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this <br />property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other <br />property in this zoning district; that granting the variance <br />would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor <br />pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; <br />would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but <br />is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or <br />difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property <br />right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit <br />and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the <br />City. <br />CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br />Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby <br />grants a variance to the Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, <br />Subdivision 1 and Section 10.55, Subdivision 8, to allow the <br />construction of a new home located partially within the 0-75' <br />lakeshore setback area where no structures are normally allowed, and <br />grants a variance to Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 to allow a total of <br />2,960 square feet of hardcover (or 15.8%) in the 0-75' setback zone at <br />the building site where no hardcover is allowed, and to allow 3,380 <br />square feet of hardcover (or 30%) in the 75-250' lakeshore setback zone <br />at the building site, where only 25% hardcover is normally allowed, and <br />grants a variance to Section 10.22, Subdivision 1, to allow <br />encroachment on the average lakeshore setback from the lagoon (or <br />north) side of the building site, subject to the foile—ing conditions: <br />1. All drainage from the proposed house must be directed toward <br />the lagoon to gain the maximum possible infiltration time <br />and distance. <br />2.
