The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on May 18, <br /> 1987, and none of their 3 motions for recommended action (2 for <br /> conditional approval, 1 for denial) yielded a majority of votes, hence <br /> Planning Commission could reach no formal recommendation on this <br /> project. <br /> 4. The Council finds that the proposed 6' fence to be located as <br /> described in the conditions of this resolution are necessary for the <br /> applicants' enjoyment of their property, the hardship being the close <br /> proximity of the actual traveled. roadway to the existing residence, a <br /> distance of less than 20' , and the elevations of the windows in the <br /> . :. � . resid:ence at the .same relative : level as e.ye. level of; pedestrian and <br /> vehicular traffic on the roadway. The Council finds that the existing <br /> shrubbery does not provide adequate screening to protect the <br /> applicants' privacy, and finds that evergreen shubbery could not be <br /> suitably developed in its place. . <br /> • 5� The City Council has considered this application including the <br /> findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by <br /> City staff, comments by the applicants and the effect of the proposed <br /> variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. <br /> Page 1 of 4 <br />
