City of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. (1) Based on crediting only the land at the building site, the 0-75' hardcover proposed is 2,960 square feet or 15.8% and in the 75-250' zone is 3,380 square feet or 30.0%. (2) Based on also crediting the northerly portions of the property for the hardcover calculations, 0-75' hardcover is 2,960 square feet or 10.5% and in the 75-250' zone is 3,380 square feet or 10.2%. (3) Based on calculating 0-75' and 75-190' from the lagoon, only crediting the building site, and with drainage all directed to the lagoon, 0-75' lagoon setback hardcover is 14.9% (all existing driveway), in the 75- 190' lagoon setback is 34.4%, and in the lakeshore 0-50' setback is 0%. C ) Applicant should not be penalized for the existing driveway hardcover in the lagoon 0-75' zone, and in fact his driveway proposal minimizes the additional driveway hardcover required. D) The neighbors' request for the lakeshore setback and average setback variances to allow for the least disruptive sightlines, to maintain uniformity, and the capability to direct all drainage over 100' of relatively flat lawn area, justify the granting of a variance to the lakeshore setback. E) The unique characteristics of the property i.e. the proposed building site separated from the rest of the property by a lagoon, constitute a valid hardship to the property. F) The variances can be granted without permanent crediting of lot area north of the lagoon. 4.
