CITY of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />c. The proposed addition will join two existing accessory buildings. <br />d. The proposed structure complies with all front yard, side yard, and rear <br />(street) yard setback requirements. <br />e. The oversized accessory building is conforming in size and height. <br />f. The applicants have agreed, as part of this resolution, to enter into a covenant <br />that disallows use of the accessory building for a home occupation, dwelling, <br />or rental/lease of the building as a dwelling. <br />4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br />recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by <br />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 that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to <br />it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting <br />the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire <br />hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a <br />convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable <br />hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the <br />applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code <br />and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br />CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br />Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a <br />variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1435 to allow additions to existing <br />accessory buildings resulting in an oversized accessory building situated between the principal <br />structure and the front (street) lot line, subject to the following conditions: <br />Council approval is based on the building plans and site plan submitted by the applicants <br />and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A. Any amendments <br />to the site plan which are not in conformity with City codes will require further Planning <br />Commission and City Council review. <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
