The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on May 18, June 15 <br /> and July 20, 1998 and on a vote of 6-0 recommended approval of a hardcover <br /> variance to allow hazdcover on the property in the amount of 5,725 s.f. per the <br /> revised plans, and approval of a CUP for grading within the 0-75' lakeshore <br /> protected zones, based upon findings which are enumerated in Resolution No. <br /> 4128 dated July 27, 1998. <br /> 4. On July 27, 1998 the City Council granted approval of the proposed variances <br /> and adopted Resolution No. 4128 with conditions. On August 10, 1998 the <br /> applicant requested Council approval for a revised plan which would reduce the <br /> hardcover associated with the house and driveway footprints in order to allow <br /> the addition of a patio while not exceeding the 5,725 s.f. hardcover level. The <br /> further revised plan eliminates the third upper level garage stall and reduces the <br /> area of driveway to free up additional hardcover for the patio. A lower level <br /> ' storage area will be incorporated below the garage, but will not be served by a <br /> . driveway or other hazdcover. The Council voted 4-0 to reconsider the application � <br /> and voted 4-0 to allow the further revision as p"roposed subject to still meeting <br /> the 5,725 s.f. hardcover limit; that no driveway will be allowed to serve the <br /> lower storage area; and that no future variances are to be granted for this <br /> property: Council directed that staff bring a new resolution to the next <br /> Council meeting for adoption. <br /> 5. 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 applicant and the effect of the proposed variance and CUP on the health, <br /> safety and welfare of the community. <br /> .� , 6. 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 tra�c conditions, light, air nor <br /> pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring properry; would not merely <br /> . • serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a <br /> demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial <br /> property right of the applicant; 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 6 <br />
