A I ‘1%) ° =' CITY of ORONO /4 �k M"'� G~ RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL ESII& NO. 3 6 5 1 B. The new garage addition will result in the removal of the existing detached garage which is located less than 3' from the south side lot line where current standards for a detached garage would require a 10' minimum setback, thereby eliminating this non-conforming structure. C. The proposed location of the garage/bedroom/bath addition in the northerly half of the property will minimize the amount of driveway hardcover in the 75-250' zone. D. The proposed sunroom is over an existing deck and therefore constitutes no new hardcover in the 75-250' zone. Further, the proposed sunroom does not encroach on the average lakeshore setback, and its location 27' from the lot line will have no impact on neighboring properties. E. The increase in hardcover on the property from 23.9% to 26.7% is being minimized by removal of a portion of the existing deck, as well as removal of the detached garage and existing sidewalk. Hardcover in the 250-500' zone of 19.9% where 30% would be allowed also is a positive aspect of the proposal. F. Because the existing septic system is located in the area of the proposed garage/bedroom/bath addition, and because that septic system must remain in use until/unless municipal sewer is provided to the property, it is appropriate that construction of this addition be delayed until such time that sewer is available, while the sunroom addition will not be hindered by the septic system location. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
