• City of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 2556 B) The applicant has agreed to remove 694 s.f. of existing hardcover on the property, which will result in removals of hardcover in excess of the square footages to be added, resulting in an overall hardcover decrease on the property. In addition, the areas of hardcover to be removed are much closer to the lakeshore then the proposed garage structure. C) The existing house and property contain little existing storage area. The request for additional storage space is reasonable. Applicant has a number of bulky items which must be stored. D) The Planning Commission finds that additions to the existing attached garage are not feasable because: 1. An addition to the west end of the garage would encroach within 1' of the south lot line. 2. The entryway layout and topography prohibit a • reasonable addition north of the existing garage. 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 alleviate 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. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the findings noted above, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 to permit the construction of a detached storage garage which will increase hardcover in the 75-250' setback zone in excess of the 25% hardcover normally allowed in that zone, subject to the following conditions: 0 Page 2 of 5
