Cit� o� ORONO <br /> • RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> � NO. 2415 <br /> � <br /> ' • - • • <br /> a) Applicant participated throughout the entire review and <br /> received notice of all final action culminating in the signing of <br /> a formal resolution whereby applicant agreed to make the <br /> necessary removals. <br /> b) The total variance of 43� hardcover within the 75-250' <br /> setback area is excessive for this size property and would not be <br /> consistent with previous Council action with similar <br /> applications. . <br /> c) The app licant has not presented adequate hardships to satisfy <br /> the current hardcover application. <br /> 7. The property at its present level of hardcover does not conform to <br /> the current development pattern of the neighborhood. <br /> 8. The granting of the hardcover variances now proposed by the <br /> applicant would set an adverse precedent and limit Council ' s <br /> consideration of similar applications in the future. <br /> • 9. The intent of this application is contrary to the objectives and <br /> � goals of the Orono Comprehensive Plan. <br /> 10. The values of adjacent properties will be adversely affected if <br /> the detached garage structure is allowed to remain on the property. <br /> 11. To approve the application as proposed, the City would be asked <br /> to approve a total hardcover variance of 43$ within the 75-250' <br /> setback area. Such an action would establish a negative precedent in <br /> the future development of the LR-1C zoning district, the standards and <br /> intent of both the City Zoning Code and Community Management Plan <br /> would no longer have any effect if the City establishes a precedent of <br /> approving variances in what could be labeled "after-the-fact". <br /> 12. The granting of the required variances will result in the <br /> following violations of Section 10.08, Subdivision 3 (A) of the zoning <br /> code of which the applicant must first comply before the requested <br /> variances can be gzanted: <br /> a) In review of the factua 1 f indings noted above, the City f inds <br /> that the essential character of the neighborhood will be altered <br /> if the proposed variances were granted and the hardcover allowed <br /> to remain. <br /> • Page 4 of 6 <br />
