The property in the 75-250' lakeshore setback zone, contains only the driveway, sidewalks and house as hardcover, constituting 3,817 square feet or 30.0� hardcover. This amount of hardcover, although exceeding normal limits, is necessary to the safe and � reasonable use of the property. Because of the low elevation in relation to the lake level, the residence has no basement, hence increased bulk and hardcover above ground was necessary to construct a suitable residence on this property. 6. No hardcover currently exists in the 0-75' setback zone. The � proposed patio will encroach 5' into the 75' setback, creating approximately 88 square feet of hardcover, or 1.2�, in the 0-75' zone. . 7. The City Council has considered this application including . the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the • community. 8. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is . necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLIISIONS, ORDER AIaD CONDITIONS Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby . grants a variance to the Municipal Zoning Code 8ection 10.22, Subdivision 2 and Section 10.55 , Subdivision 8 to p�ermit the construction of a brick patio partially located within the 0-75' setback zone, where no hardcover 'or structure is normally al lowed, and ' constituting 88 s.f. or 1.2� hardcover in the zone, and partially located within the 75-250' setback zone, increasing hardcover in that zone to 4,187 s.f. or 32.9$ where only 25$ is normally allowed, subject to the following conditions: • 1. The portion of patio to be constructed in the 0-75' setback zone shall encroach no more than 5' into the 75' lakeshore set- back and shall constitute no more than 88 s.f. or 1.2� hardcover.
