CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 675`r 10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant." Granting the variance to construct the addition is necessary to increase functionality within the home; as well as for the preservation of the wide, open space between the Property and the neighbor to the east. 11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter." The proposed project will not impair the health, safety, comfort, or morals of the public. 12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." Granting of the variance will resolve and alleviate a demonstrated practical difficulty caused by the application of the lake setback as applied to the Property. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS: Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1279 to allow an addition to the existing home 64 feet from the lake where a 75 foot setback is required; and a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1680 to permit an additional 93.2 square feet of hardcover within the 75 -foot lake setback where no hardcover is permitted and 3,710 square feet currently exist in conjunction with the proposed addition, subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the survey dated February 13, 2017 and building plans submitted by the Applicants and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A & B. Any amendments to the plans which are not in conformity with City codes may require further Planning Commission and City Council review. 2. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the Applicants, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the new construction and commencing construction of said project. A framing inspection must be completed within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variance will expire on that date (April 10, 2018). 3. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution shall constitute a violation of the zoning code, shall automatically terminate any authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor.
