. . , <br /> . . <br /> IOC <br /> O O <br /> =-�J: � CITY of ORONO <br /> ys, i ` �i ti <br /> i ��,'tRESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> 9kESH0g' NO. 8 7 8 8 <br /> hardcover elimination in the 0-75' zone. Further, hardcover in the <br /> 250-500' zone will increase from the existing 22.8% to 60% proposed <br /> by the applicant where only 30% is normally allowed, however, a <br /> hardship is the small size of the 250-500' zone and the variance is <br /> justified by the concurrent removal of hardcover in the 0-75' zone and <br /> general reconstruction of hardcover at locations farther from the lake <br /> ' than currently exists. Overall hardcover on the property is proposed <br /> to decrease from 5,715 s.f. (28.5%) to approximately 5,350 s.f. <br /> (26.7%), where the entire lot would normally be allowed 18.3% <br /> hardcover under normal hardcover limitations. <br /> 4. 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 applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety <br /> and welfare of the community. <br /> 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are <br /> peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning <br /> district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic <br /> conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring <br /> property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is <br /> necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to <br /> preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping <br /> with the 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 grants <br /> variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.25, Subdivision 6 (B) to permit the removal <br /> of the existing residence, deck and detached garage and construction of a new residence, <br /> deck and detached garage on a lot of area 0.46 acre where a 0.50 lot area is normally <br /> required, and on a lot of width 75' where a 100' lot width is normally required; and grants <br /> a variance to Section 10.22, Subdivision 1 to allow the new residence and deck to be <br /> constructed lakeward of the defined average setback line, and grants a variance to Sections <br /> Page 3 of 7 <br />
