O <br /> CITY of ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> `gI�E3H04NO, 3001 <br /> C) The lot area of 0.39 acre is large enough that a <br /> single family residence and associated sidewalks and <br /> driveways can be constructed without the need for lot <br /> coverage or hardcover variances. The applicants' <br /> original plan requested a 2.4% hardcover variance in <br /> the 75-250' zone, however the Planning Commission finds <br /> no justification for granting a hardcover variance. <br /> D) The lot width of 74' will accommodate a single <br /> family residence without the need for variances to a <br /> side setback requirement. <br /> 4. The applicants have revised their initial proposal to <br /> conform with the Planning Commission recommendation, and <br /> have relocated their residence nearer the road but still <br /> meeting the 30' minimum street setback, reducing the square <br /> footage of hardcover in the driveway and therefore <br /> eliminating the need for a hardcover variance. <br /> 5. The City Council has considered this application <br /> including the findings and recommendations of the Planning <br /> Commission, reports by City staff , comments by the <br /> applicants and the effect of the variances on the health, <br /> safety and welfare of the community. <br /> 6. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on <br /> this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally <br /> to other property in this zoning district; that granting the <br /> variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, <br /> light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to <br /> neighboring property; would not merely serve as a <br /> convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to <br /> alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is <br /> necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the <br /> applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and <br /> intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the <br /> City. <br /> CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br /> Based upon one or more of the findings noted above, the <br /> Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Municipal Zoning <br /> Code Section 10.25, Subdivision 6 (B) to permit the construction <br /> of a single family residence on a lot of 0.39 acre and 74' lot <br /> width where lot area normally required is 0.50 acre and lot width <br /> normally required is 100', subject to the following conditions: <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br />
