The original portion of the house was constructed in 1938. It is <br /> substantially built and has architectural merit. <br /> b. There is no way to expand the house without a variance. <br /> c. The foundation area of the house is 2,089 square feet. The property has <br /> 9.6 percent building lot coverage when 15 percent would be allowed. <br /> d. The addition will not require any additional hardcover and the total <br /> hardcover on the lot is being reduced as a condition of the variance. <br /> 5. The City Council has considered this application including the findings <br /> and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, <br /> comments by the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed <br /> variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. <br /> 6. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are <br /> peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning <br /> district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic <br /> conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring <br /> property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is <br /> necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to <br /> preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in <br /> keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive <br /> Plan of the City. <br /> CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br /> Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby <br /> grants a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1279(1) to allow <br /> construction of a second story over the garage portion of a house that is located entirely <br /> within the 75 foot lakeshore setback and a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code <br /> Section 78-78-305(b) to allow construction of this addition with a 17.6 foot setback from <br /> the east side property line when a 30 foot side setback is required, subject to the <br /> following conditions: <br /> 1.
