® , o <br /> CITY of ORONO <br /> ti <br /> ti <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCI L <br /> � G <br /> SQ4� NO. <br /> kE �3. <br /> 9. The hardcover variances for Parcels A and B are justified because the size <br /> footprints proposed are not out of character with the neighborhood, and do <br /> not exceed the structural coverage limits for the properties. <br /> 10. ` The rear yard setback variance for Parcel B is reasonable as it was <br /> necessary to push the home out of the bluff setback area, and there is a <br /> need for adequate off street parking in front of the garage. Additionally, <br /> the 3rd stall of the garage is reasonable as there is a need for additional <br /> storage within the garage. <br /> 11. Due to its steep slope the shared driveway should be heated in the winter <br /> months to allow for a safer entrance into the property. The developer has <br /> agreed to this being a requirement of the development approval. <br /> 12. Because the subdivision is a lot line rearrangement and is not creating a <br /> new buildable site, no park fees will be due. Additionally, the properties <br /> are not subject to Storm Water and Drainage Trunk Fees. <br /> 13. The City Council has considered this application including the findings <br /> and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, <br /> comments by the owner, the applicants and the public, and the effect of <br /> the proposed variances on the health, safety and welfare of the <br /> community. <br /> 14. The City Council funds that the conditions existing on the properties are <br /> peculiar to them and do not apply generally to other property in this <br /> zoning district; that granting the variances would not adversely affect <br /> traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to <br /> neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the <br /> applicants and owner, but are necessary to alleviate a demonstrable <br /> hardship or difficulty; are necessary to preserve a substantial property <br /> right of the owners and applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit <br /> and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> NOW, 'THEREFORE, BE IT )RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of <br /> Orono hereby grants the petition by the applicants for vacation of the herein identified <br /> portion of Lake Street, subject to the vacated portions being legally combined with the <br /> appropriate adjoining tax parcels; and <br /> Page 5 of 9 <br />
