CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 3174 b) 636 s.f. of landscape area underlain with plastic was installed within the 0-75' setback zone. Applicant shall remove the plastic underliner and maintain the pump house structure resulting in 12 s.f. of hardcover. c) 8,811 s.f. or 42.9% hardcover exists within the 250- 500' setback area. Total hardcover within the 75-500' setback area is proposed at 11, 495.5 s.f. or 25.3%. d) The residence structure is located 275' from the lakeshore. An extensive grassed yard area has been maintained to treat runoff to the lake. e) The homes along Forest Arms Lane have been developed in an alignment close to the road. Any proposed installation of accessory structures within the lakeshore yards of these properties require average lakeshore setback variances. f) The development of the flag lot to the immediate south of the property creates a major impact on the average setback line. 4. 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. 5. 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.
