The City Council finds that the conditions existing on <br />this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally <br />to other property in this zoning district; that granting the <br />variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, <br />light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to <br />neighLvring property; would not merely serve as a <br />convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate <br />a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to pre- <br />serve a substantial property right of the applicant; and <br />would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning <br />Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br />CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br />Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council <br />hereby grants a variance to the Municipal Zoning Code Section <br />10.22, Subdivision 2 to permit the construction of a garage <br />addition with concurrent removal of existing hardcover resulting <br />in a net decrease of hardcover on the property, subject to the <br />following conditions: <br />1.
