Cit� o� ORONO . • �' � a RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL . � ` NO. 2215 • - • • E) The Planning Commission recommended elimination of excess portions of the 12'x12' platform near the dock and of the 10'x10' platform halfway down the hill , to meet the 4' width standards. These reductions will result in a final 0-75' hardcover of approximately 1,103 s.f. or 4.5$; 75-250' hardcover will increase from 17,274 s.f. (29.9�) to 17, 483 s.f. (30.3$) as a result of the project. 4. 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. 5. 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 al leviate a demon- strable 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.
