The Council finds that the proposed deck design, which <br /> includes 5-1/2 inch decking with 1/2-inch spacing, underlain <br /> by a level sand absorbtion layer of l2" thickness, with no <br /> barrier layer between the sand and the underlying ground <br /> surface , has been demonstrated by � applicant to be <br /> sufficiently permeable in this instance so as to not be : <br /> considered hardcover. � <br /> 3. The Council finds no undue hardships to the property <br /> that justify granting a variance to the hardcover limitation <br /> � of 4;725 square feet in the 75-250' setback zone. <br /> FURTHERMORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Counci 1 of <br /> Orono hereby approves the construction of deck, sidewalk, and <br /> driveway improvements to the property subject to the following � <br /> • conditions : <br /> l.
