�°�o <br /> C ITY OF ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CI"I'Y COUNCIL <br /> � � <br /> 6532 <br /> `� �' N O. <br /> �qkESH��� <br /> f). The variance to construct a finro-story addition to the residence is in harmony <br /> with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance. <br /> g). The variance to permit improvements to the existing residence in a residential <br /> district is consistent with the comprehensive plan. <br /> h). The Applicant provided a survey reflecting the limited building envelope on the <br /> Property which is encumbered by bluff setbacks and has substandard lot area <br /> and lot width establishing that there are practical difficulties. <br /> i). The Owner proposes to use the Property in a reasonable manner not permitted <br /> by the official controls; <br /> j). The circumstances unique to the Property were not created by the landowner. <br /> k). The entire lakeside of the existing home footprint exists in a nonconforming <br /> location ahead of the 30 foot bluff setback; construction of a two-story addition <br /> in a permitted location is limited by the existing home and the bluff. The <br /> proposed project will be consistent with the neighborhood, and will not <br /> adversely impact adjacent lakeshore properties. <br /> I). The granting of the proposed variances will not in any way impair health, safety, <br /> comfort or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this <br /> chapter. <br /> m).The granting of the requested variances will not merely serve as a convenience <br /> to the Owner, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable di�culty. <br /> 5. The City Council considered this application at a meeting held on August 10, 2015 <br /> including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by <br /> City staff, comments by the Applicant and the public, and the effect of the proposed <br /> variances on the health, safety and welfare of the community as well as the impact on <br /> properties in the vicinity. <br /> 6. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this Property are peculiar to it and <br /> do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the <br /> variances would not adversely affect tra�c conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard <br /> or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to <br /> the Owner, but is necessary to alleviate a practical difficulty; is necessary to preserve <br /> a substantial property right of the Owner; and would be in keeping with the spirit and <br /> intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br />
