O O <br /> CITY of ORONO <br /> ti <br /> � G <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> �kES "0' NO. <br /> 4 <br /> 4. The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact: <br /> A. The proposed residence will meet the minimum setback requirements for <br /> the R-lA Zoning District. <br /> 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar <br /> to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that <br /> granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor <br /> pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely <br /> serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a <br /> demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial <br /> property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and <br /> intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> 6. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br /> recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br /> by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety <br /> and welfare of the community. <br /> CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br /> Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby <br /> grants a variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.20, Subdivision 5 (B) to permit the <br /> existing residence to be removed to allow for new construction on a lot with .529 acres where <br /> 1 acre is required. Approval was subject to the following conditions: <br /> 1. The applicants shall apply for a demolition permit. <br /> 2. Authorities granted by this variance run with the property not with the <br /> applicants, but are permissive only and must be exercised by application for a <br /> building permit within one year of the date of Council approval, or this variance <br /> will expire on that date (February 22, 2000). <br /> 3. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this <br /> resolution shall constitute a violation of the zoning code, shall automatically <br /> terminate any authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a <br /> misdemeanor. <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br />
