�� , %O <br /> � � <br /> O O � <br /> ��b� - C ITY of ORONO <br /> a � <br /> �� �'�' RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCI� <br /> t�ESKo4'� rva 4 � � �' <br /> 7. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing <br /> on June 15, 1998 at which time the applicants indicated they had the ability to ' <br /> acquire Lot 65 from Farnes for legal combination with Lot 64. The applicants <br /> further proposed to relocate the cabin to a conforming location within Lots 64- <br /> 65. The Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of a lot area <br /> variance for the combination of Lots 64-65, comprising a total combined area <br /> of approximateiy 0.5 acres and having a defined width a� the shoreline of ; <br /> approximatel� '8'. The Planning Commission further recommended that Lots i <br /> 64-65 hence: �i be designated as Record Lot 15 and that Lots 8-9-10-11 be ', <br /> legally comb� ♦;d with an adjacent existing Record Lot (potentially with Record <br /> Lot 16), subject to approval of Farnes. The lot area variance and redesignation <br /> of Record Lots is justified by the following: <br /> a. The net result is that no additional Record Lots will be created on <br /> Big Island, hence the overall density will not increase, which is <br /> in keeping with the City's ordinances and Comprehensive Plan <br /> goals and policies for the Island. <br /> b. The combination of Lots 64-65 will allow development of Record <br /> Lot 15 for the allowed seasonal recreational purposes without the <br /> need for further variances. <br /> c. As many as 20 other Big Island Record Lots which are designated <br /> as "substandard - buildable" are 0.5 acres or smaller in area, hence <br /> approval will not be out of character with the neighborhood. <br /> d. The proposal is an amicable solution to a long-standing dispute <br /> between the City and the former property owner. <br />- 8. Far�ies f�as pZ4vided a letter t� the' �City in�icating agreen�ent with the <br /> redesignation of Record Lot 15 as proposed and stating an intent to attach Lots <br /> 8-9-10-11 to another adjacent existing Record Lot; this letter is attached to this <br /> Resolution as Exhibit A. <br /> 9. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br /> recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br /> by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety <br /> and welfare of the community. <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br />
