The structures on the property were constructed prior to development of <br /> standards for residential construction on lakeshore properties. <br /> C. On-site septic testing has been completed for the property and testing has <br /> confirmed there is adequate area and suitable soils for development of on- <br /> site septic systems to serve the principal structure and the caretaker <br /> residence within the oversized accessory structure. <br /> 4. 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 applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a <br /> demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property <br /> right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the <br /> Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <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 applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and <br /> welfare of the community. <br /> CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br /> Based upon one or more of the unique findings and hardships, the Orono City <br /> Council hereby grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivision 9 (C-2) <br /> and Section 10.23, Subdivision 6 (B) to permit structural repairs to the nonconforming oversized <br /> accessory structure that does not meet the required side yard setback or allowed area for an <br /> accessory structure, subject to the following conditions: <br /> 1.
