The granting of the proposed variance to construct 1 <br /> new residence will not require the extension of City water <br /> and sewer to maintain the standards set forth in the Orono <br /> Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan for an urban sized lot. <br /> The applicant has demonstrated that both the existing lot <br /> and the proposed building site can maintain suitable on-site <br /> sewer and water systems. <br /> 26. Granting of the variances will not have an adverse <br /> ef f ect upon the hea 1 th, saf ety and we 1 f are of the community <br /> • for the reasons outlined herein. <br /> Page 6 of 10 <br />
