CITY of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF TJ:tE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. iJ 7 5 8 <br />H. Planning Commission recommends that further parking within the right­ <br />of-way be discouraged by requiring that the applicant remove the existing <br />concrete apron located within the right-of-way of Casco Circle. <br />4. The City Council finds that there are a number of justifications for allowing the <br />applicant to retain the existing stall doors and slab in their current configuration, <br />and for not requiring their removal or relocation. These justifications include: <br />A. Tree removal and tree damage would result from a new driveway apron <br />within the lot boundaries east of the garage. <br />B. Additional hardcover would be needed to develop such a driveway apron. <br />C. Other garages in the neighborhood are situated similarly to applicant's <br />existing garage. <br />5. 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 applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and <br />welfare of the community. <br />6. 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 />CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br />Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance <br />to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivision 9(D) to allow the existing detached <br />garage plus the proposed additions to be located 0.2' from the street lot line where a 1 O' street <br />Page 3 of 7
