� � O� • O O �b - CITY of ORONO � � ti '�' RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL �L`9$E p4ti�'G NO. e� "7 3 � � sx C. The average lakeshore setback for this application has been defined as the lake setback of the neighboring house to the east, since the neighboring property to the west is nearly one-quarter mile distant. The proposed removal of the existing garage and subsequent construction of a new attached garage and room additions will result in less encroachment of , the average lakeshore setback than currently exists. The existing encroachment is approximately 90', and this will reduce to 75'. The neighboring property will have no additional views encroached by the proposed construction, and may have additional views of the lake opened up by the proposal. D. The existing garage encroaches within 123' of the OHWL of Lake Classen. The proposal to remove that garage and construct new additions • which will encroach only as near as 140' from Lake Classen, is a positive improvement to the conformity of the property in relation to setback from Lake Classen. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 5. 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 variance 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 applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. • Page 3 of 6
