I�' L'.i d C�t� o� ORONO � � RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL � NO. 1874 • � • • I) There is an existing hazardous traffic problem on the "S" curve and that an additional access onto this point would further the dangerous situation. 15. The property can be put to reasonable use by either combination with adjacent developed parcels or by the County for right-of-way purposes; and the County has stated they are currently in the process of negotiating with the applicant to purchase the property. 16. In review of the factuai findings noted above, the City finds that establishment of a precedent that would al Iow severly substandard Iots to be developed would be in complete conf lict with the established environmental standards for lakeshore area development within the City and wouid be detrimental to the public, health, safety and welfare. The City also Iooks to the broader, environmental principals and goals set forth in its Community Management Plan and the intent of the specific zoning • district when dealing with matters related to the public, health safety and welfare. Issues involving the public health, safety and welfare are not only resolved in securing the obvious traffic and drainage concerns of surrounding property owners but the City also must provide its citizens with a designated and approved optimum level of density, open space and quality of Iife. 17. In denying this application, tYie City reverses its previous action of April 28th, 1969 (in which a Iot area variances was granted to Gary Setterstrom) in consideration of the findings contained herein. That variance approval is considered to have expired as of 1/1/76. . Adopted by the Orono City Council on this 28th day of Octo er, 1985. �' ATT T: . ,� \ 1�, � othy M. all.in, City Clerk Mary C.
