City of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. '169 <br />E) Lot 4 has been retained as a separate tax parcel, never <br />combined with the homestead Lot 5. <br />F) Lot 4 is the last developable lot in the Forest Arms Country <br />Club Addition, which was platted prior to the current zoning <br />code. Lot 4 is allowed to join in the Joint Dock usage of the <br />Forest Arms Country Club Homeowners Association. <br />4. The City Council has considered this application including the <br />findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by <br />City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed <br />variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. <br />5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this <br />property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other <br />property in this zoning district; that granting the variance would not <br />adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard <br />or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a <br />convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demon- <br />strable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial <br />property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the <br />spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the <br />City. <br />CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br />Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby <br />grants a variance to the Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.24, Subdivision 5 <br />(B) to permit the construction of a single family residence on a lot having <br />0.45 acres in area where 1.0 acres in area is normally required, subject to <br />the following conditions. <br />1.

Applicant is advised of the 30% hardcover limit for Lot 5 with the <br />existing house. <br />5. Payment of $225 sewer connection (plant) charge with building <br />permit. <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
