City of ORONO " v • 1 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL CY Recommended that the existing decks not be considered hardcover per previous Council approval. D) Recommended denial of the street setback variance, finding that public safety (fire protection and roadway maintenance) would be hindered by the requested location 2' from the lot line. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variances on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 5. 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 variances 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 the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to the Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 to permit the construction of a detached garage and associated driveway apron which in conjunction with, a future proposed home addition will increase hardcover in the 75-250' setback zone in excess of the 25% hard- cover allowed, and grants a variance to Section 10.03, Subdivision 15 (F) to allow the detached garage to be located 5' from the side lot line instead of the required 10' setback, subject to the following conditions: 1.
