��o CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL � 6 ? JU y� �� NO. �'�kFSH�� B9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located." The standards applicable to this property apply to all other property in the neighborhood; however, in order to be allowed the 30% hardcover that other developed similar-sized lots are afforded, a variance to lot area and width is required B10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant." The property rights of the owner will be diminished if the lot area and lot width variances are not granted, as the new residence would not be able to have the 30% hardcover that neighboring similar-sized lots are allowed B 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." Granting of the area and width variances would not impair health,safety, comfort or morals and would not be contrary the intent of the zoning code. B 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 variances will alleviate a practical difficulty by a[lowing the properly to be developed under the same hardcover and structural coverage allowances as other similar-sized developed lots in the neighborhood CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-350 in order to be allowed the Tier 2 hardcover allowance of 30% for an existing lot of 7,522 s.f. in area and 50 feet in width where the minimum lot size requirements are 21,780 s.f. in area and 100 feet in width, subject to the following conditions: 1.
