. <br /> . 7' O� <br /> O O <br /> �� CITY of ORONO <br /> ,� � ,. � <br /> ti <br /> �',�� �G'�' RESOLUTION OFTH���50UNCIL <br /> 9kESI;�4� NO. <br /> a. The proposed addition was revised during the review process to extend <br /> only 14' westward from the existing wall of the house, resulting in <br /> elimination of the need for a street setback variance and reducing the <br /> impact of the additional bulk and massing of structure on the site. The <br /> lot coverage percentage will remain at 18.6%. <br /> b. The applicants have agreed to remove at least 350 s.f. of existing <br /> hardcover in conjunction witlz construction of the proposed addition, in <br /> order to bring the property back into conformance with hardcover <br /> levels approved for the property by a prior variance approval in 1998. <br /> The result is a net reduction from existing 0-75' hardcover from 9.5% <br /> to 9.3%, and a reduction in 75'-250' hardcover from 56.1% to 54.1%. <br /> Additionally, although not reflected in these percentages, driveway <br /> hardcover within the street right-of-way will be removed to result in <br /> less impervious surface in the neighborhood. <br /> 4. 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 /> variances on the health, safety and welfare of the community. <br /> 5. The City CoLuicil 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 variances 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 hardcover and structural coverage variances to Orono Municipal Zoning Code <br /> Sections 78-1288 (A) (B) and 78-1403 to allow construction of an addition above the <br /> existing attached garage, such addition resulting in additional bulk and massing of <br /> structure on the property, subject to the following conditions: <br /> Page2of5 <br />
