Oi CITY OF ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> NO. 6850 <br /> ?*1k'ESHO�� <br /> 7. "The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling <br /> as a two-family dwelling."This condition is not applicable. <br /> 8. "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such <br /> property or immediately adjoining property." The unique shape and orientation of the <br /> Property is not common in the surrounding neighborhood. The long narrow driveway neck <br /> results in excess driveway hardcover without the proportionate land area to balance it out <br /> necessitate granting a hardcover variance. <br /> 9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the <br /> land is located." The unique shape characteristics of the Property are not common in the <br /> surrounding neighborhood. <br /> 10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a <br /> substantial property right of the applicant." Granting the requested variance will provide <br /> relief to the applicant regarding the lot shape and existing conditions of Property. <br /> 11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or <br /> morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter."
