�o� <br />JF� <br />CITY of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />No. 5 6 2 <br />the rear of the house off the kitchen. <br />b. The rear lot line angles away from the rear of the house so the impact of <br />the variance is lessened. <br />4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br />recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br />by the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance on the <br />health, safety and welfare of the community. <br />5. The City Council finds: , <br />a. There are no conditions existing on this property that are peculiar to it and <br />that do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district. The lot <br />is conforming and the house was constructed under the current zoning code <br />at conforming setbacks. <br />b. Granting the variance is not necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship <br />or difficulty with the property. The variance is not necessary to preserve a <br />substantial property right of the Owners. A smaller informal dining room <br />may be constructed in the same area without a setback variance. <br />c. Granting the variance would be detrimental to the property to the east, <br />where the house is located at the minimum setback and is directly behind <br />the Owners' house. <br />CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br />Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby denies a variance to Orono <br />Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-305 to allow an informal dining room addition to the <br />house with a 44.7 foot setback from the rear property line. <br />Adopted by the Orono City Council on this 29th day of May, 2007. <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
