CITY of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. 4 179 <br />FINDINGS <br />1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #2418. <br />2. The property is located in the LR-1B, One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning <br />District. <br />3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application on September 21, 1998, and <br />recommended approval on a vote of 6 to 0. <br />4. The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact: <br />A. The lot meets size and yard setback requirements. <br />B. The zoning lot is located on a peninsula and is irregular in shape. <br />C. Variances were previously granted for hardcover and average lakeshore <br />setback. <br />5. The City Council denied the applicant's request on September 28, 1998, but due <br />to not receiving complete information to base a decision upon, the applcation <br />was opened for reconsideration on October 12, 1998. <br />6. Property owners acknowledge that the proposed plan does not include outdoor <br />patios or decks. It is the intent of the City Council that future requests for <br />additional hardcover would not be looked upon favorably. <br />7. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar <br />to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that <br />granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor <br />pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely <br />serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a <br />demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial <br />property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and <br />intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br />Page 2 of 5
