CITY OF ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. <br />although permitted to construct a separate, conforming guest house building less than <br />1,000 square feet in footprint, they wish to minimize hardcover by utilizing the existing <br />nonconforming structure. <br />Conditional Use Permit Analysis: <br />The Planning Commission may recommend and the Council may grant a conditional use permit <br />as it was applied for or in modified form.
