City of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 2515 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 variance 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 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 demon- strable 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 findings noted above, the Orono City Council hereby grants after -the -fact variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivision 15 (C) and Section 10.28, Subdivision 5 (B) to permit the construction of driveway entrance monuments 5.5' in height where such structures are not normally allowed to exceed 3.5' in height, and which structures are less than l' from the front property line where such structures are normally required to be set back at least 50' from the front property line, subject to the following conditions: 1. Applicant is placed' on notice that if at some future date light fixtures are placed on top of the pillars, such lighting must be directed downward and the intensity must be a level so as to not create vision problems for the users of the public roadway. 2. Applicant shall obtain the appropriate after -the -fact building permit for the pillars. 3. Authorities granted with this resolution run with the property not with the applicants, 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 (October 10, 1989). 4. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution shall constitute a violation of the zoning code, shall automatically terminate any authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor.
