���0 <br /> C ITY OF ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> �F �� � � � � <br /> NO. <br /> tqkFS H o�� <br /> the neighborhood; however, the existing location of the neighboring residence building <br /> makes it difficult to replace the applicants' home in a location appropriate for the <br /> property while meeting the conditions imposed by the City ordinance. Additionally, the <br /> remote location of the residence from available on-street parking is not rypical in this <br /> izeighborhood <br /> B10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a <br /> substantial property right of the applicant." Granting of the average setback variance and <br /> lot area variance is necessary to preserve the property �zghts of the owner to build a new <br /> residence on the proper7y. While granting of the hardcover variance is not essential to <br /> maintaining the property owners' rights to have a home on the property, the variance <br /> would assist in providing for off-street parking since the shared driveway serving as <br /> access to the properry is not wide enough to provide for on-streetparking. <br /> B 11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or <br /> morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter." Granting of the <br /> average setback variances would not impair health, safety, comfort or morals and would <br /> be in keeping witll the intent of the zoning code. Granting of a hardcover variance is <br /> justified by resulting in a reduction of Izardcover from existing levels and will enhance <br /> applicant a�zd visitor safety by providing for off-street parking. <br /> B 12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but <br /> is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." Granting of the average setback <br /> variance is necessary to solve a practical difficulty. Granting the hardcover variance helps <br /> to solve the practical difficulty related to parking in the area by providing for off-street <br /> pa��king where on-street parking is lacking. <br /> CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br /> Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a <br /> variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-330 to allow construction of a new <br /> residence to replace the existing residence on a lot of 0.62 acres in area where 1.0 acres in area is <br /> normally required; and a variance to Section 78-1279(6) to allow said new residence to encroach <br /> past the average lakeshore setback line where no encroachment is normally allowed; and a <br /> variance to Section 78-1700 to allow hardcover of 27.2% where only 25% would normally be <br /> allowed; subject to the following conditions: <br /> 1. Council approva] is based on the survey and site plans submitted by the Applicants and <br /> annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit B.
