O O CITY of ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> ES�i <br /> 2. The property is located in the LR-IC, Lakeshore Residential Zoning District <br /> requiring 1/2 acre or 21,780 s.f. The property consists of .55 acres or 24,130 <br /> s.f. <br /> 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on April 19, 1993, <br /> and recommended approval of the proposed variances based on the following <br /> hardships and findings: <br /> A. The property exceeds the required area for the zoning district but has an <br /> unusual narrow shape. <br /> B. The location of structure on property. <br /> C. There is no adjacent land available. <br /> D. Neighbor's drive and turnaround encroaches on applicants' property <br /> adding 7.7% hardcover within the 75-250' setback area and 6.7% within <br /> the 250-500' setback area. <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 /> Page 2 of 5 <br /> Fo SM DiY Oor <br />
