4. The property is located on a busy curve.l section of County Road 15 requiring screening from noise and .:ar lights along the major roadway. 5. A privacy fence in excess of 3h feet has been located adjacent to the County Road and Bracketts Point Road for many years on the property. 6. The structure is unique and to decrease the height within a single section of wall would destroy the integrity of the structure. 7. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, commen•:s by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 8. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to the Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivision 15 (C) to amend applicant's original proposal. and to permit the construction of a 6 foot high wall within the street yard of the property adjacent to Bracketts Point Road for a distance of approximately 55 feet or up to the north side of _he entrance drive, subject to the following conditions: 1. Authorities granted by this variance run with the property not with the applicant, but are permissive only and must be exercised by application for a building permit within one year of the date of Council approval, or this variance will expire on that date (July 28, 1987).
