CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-1279 and 78-1288 to allow construction of a three car garage and reconstruction of the most lakeward exterior wall of the home requiring a hardcover variance for the 0-75' zone to allow 1.92% hardcover when 3.45% currently exists and 0% is normally allowed, a hardcover variance for the 75'-250' zone to permit 30.73% hardcover when 32.88% currently exists and 25% is normally allowed, a lake setback variance to permit the most lakeward wall to continue at a 68' setback when 75' is normally required, and lastly an average lakeshore setback variance as the property sites on a point where the home is located further to the lake than the neighboring homes, subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the site plan submitted by the applicant and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A. Any amendments to the site plan which are not in conformity with City codes will require further Planning Commission and City Council review. 2. Hardcover in the 0-75' zone shall not increase above the level of 632 s.f. or 1.92%. Hardcover in the 75-250' zone shall be limited to 4,078 s.f. or 30.73% per the proposed plan and hardcover allowance summary as depicted on Exhibit A. Applicant is advised that any future requests to increase hardcover or change the nature of existing/approved hardcover shall require City approval, and increases in hardcover will not likely be approved without concurrent reduction in existing hardcover. 3. Applicant shall remove all plastic or fabric liner material from the decorative landscape beds on the property to ensure their permeability as non-hardcover surfaces. 4. Required removals of structure and hardcover shall be completed by footing inspection for the proposed garage addition. 5. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the property not with the applicants, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the new construction within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variances will expire on that date (March 28, 2006).
