Y c�t� o� o�,oNO � • RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL � � � NO. 2637 • • - • • : i : � 35. The granting of the proposed variances would require amending the many sectipns of the Comprehensive Plan that : govern the rural develapment of the City. The City of Orona has been consistent in requiring a minimum of 2 acres for creation of a buildable Iot in the rural areas of the City where there is no sewer service. - 36. In review of the factual findings noted above, the � Council finds that to establish a precedent that would a11ow severely substandard lats to be developed to be in complete , conf lict with the established enviranmental standards for rural development within the City and to be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare. The City also looks ; to the broader environmental principals and goals set farth . in its Community Management Plan and the intent of the specific zoning district when dealing with matters related ' to the public heath, safety and welfare. Issues involving : the public health, safety and welfare are not only resalved • in securing the obvious traffic and drainage concerns af : surrounding praperty owners but the City also must provide its citizens with a designated and approved optimum level of density, open space and quality of Iife. 37. The granting of the proposed variances would require � the rezoning of the property to an urban lot size in addition to requiring the extension of City services to the ; property to maintain a suitable 1eve1 of fire protection. 38. The granting of the proposed variances would require the extension of City water and sewer to maintain the standards set forth in the Orona Zoning Cpde and � Camprehensive Plan for an urban sized 1ot. 39. In granting the proposed variances, Council would ' abandon a longstanding, consistent policy in consideration of the buildability of substandard lots under common owner- ship and thereby establish an adverse precedent. 40. Denial af the subject variances would not constitute a , taking of property or Ioss of substantial value because � Parcels 2 and 3 have always had value and have been used as ' required area far the residence an Parcel l. . , 41. The intent of the application is contrary to the letter � and intent of the Orono Camprehensive Plan. 42. Granting of the variances would have an adverse effect upon the health, safety and welfare af the cammunity for the reasons outlined herein. Page 11 af 13 �
