O. O <br /> CITY of ORONO <br /> 4k, <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> �kESII0 NO. e$ 735_ <br /> ;. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on June 17, 1996 and <br /> on a vote of 7 to 0 recommended approval of the proposed variances based upon <br /> the following findings: <br /> A. The proposal is to revise the existing shed type roof to a pitched roof <br /> more in keeping with the existing house. The revised roof line will <br /> enhance the integrity of the structure and will help it meet minimum <br /> energy code requirements. <br /> B. The proposed roof revision constitutes no additional hardcover on the <br /> property. There is no extraneous hardcover on the property which can <br /> be removed. <br /> C. There is a hardship to the property because the entire lot is within 75' of <br /> the lake, where no hardcover or structure would normally be allowed. <br /> D. The proposed roof revision has no impact on views of the lake enjoyed <br /> by neighboring properties, and technically due to the location of the <br /> adjacent street, there is no average lakeshore setback encroachment <br /> variance necessary. <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 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 traffic conditions, light, air nor <br /> pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; 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 5 <br />
