City of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. <br />9. 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; would <br />not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is <br />necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is <br />necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the appli- <br />cant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the <br />Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br />CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br />Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby <br />grants variances to the Municipal Zoning Code Sections 10.22, Sub- <br />division 1 & 2 and 10.25, Subdivision 6 (B) to permit the construction <br />of additions to the existing house and garage which will increase <br />hardcover in the 75-250' lakeshore setback zone so that the total <br />amount of hardcover on the lot would exceed the amount of hardcover <br />allowed by the Municipal Zoning Code; and which additions will in- <br />crease the amount of structure in the 0•75' setback zone where no <br />structure is allowed; and which additions will encroach into the <br />average lakeshore setback zone where no encroachment is allowed; and <br />which garage addition will be located 8.5 feet from the side property <br />line where a 10 foot setback is normally required, subject to the <br />following conditions: <br />I.
