Ci.t� of ORONO • RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL � NO. 2635 • - • • B) The need for adequate security for the applicants' young children is obvious given the speed and volume of traffic on County Road 19 directly adjacent to the street yard which functions as applicants' rear yard. C) The proposed 6' high f ence a 1 ong County Road 19 i s reasonable given the applicants' dual purpose to reduce traffic noise while providing a barrier that may not be scaled by young children. Likewise, the 4' high fence at the interior of the lot is appropriate to provide adequate security given the proximity to roadways. D) The 6' high fences take on the character of accessory structures on a through lot and require that a conditional use permit be granted. 4. On 5-8-89 the applicants requested that the interior • fences be allowed at a 5' height for visual and safety purposes. The Council finds that such a fence height is appropriate for those areas. 5. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff , comments by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the hea 1 th, saf ety and we 1 f are of the community. 6. 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 properties; would not merely serve as a � convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to � alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. • Page 2 of 5
