The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City sta.ff, comments by the applicant and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the Applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a practical difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the Applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of t�e above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-350 to allow construction of an enclosed porch addition to the existing home, located 7 feet from the side lot line within the required 10- foot side yard where no structure is normally allowed, subject to the following conditions: 1.

The existing construction sha11 be reviewed by the Orono Inspections Department and any elements not meeting code requirements shall be brought to code. 3.
