The Counci 1 finds no hardship demonstrated which would justify allowing the storage structure to remain within the lakeshore setback area once the principal . �structure is constructed. 5. The applicant has stated that the decking is under- lain by sandy material and boulder rip-rap, has no plastic sheeting or other impermeable material which would retard infiltration, and will remain in this condition permanently. 6. The applicant has allowed the natural vegetative screening to remain on the site. 7. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by Cir.y staff, comments by the applicant, and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety, and welfare of the community. 8. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this c�roperty are peculiar to it and do not apply generaliy 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 demonstrable hardship or dif- ficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keep- ing with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER, AND CONDITIONS Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants an after-the-fact variance to Municipal Code Sections 10.55, Subdivision 8, and 10.31, Subdivision 9 to allow construction of a deck located within the 0-75' setback area, which structure comprises 424 square feet (or 5.8� ) hardcover where no permanent or temporary structures and no hardcover are normally allowed, subject to the following conditions: l. The deck structure may never be underlain with materials which would decrease the permeability of the land below the deck, nor shall it be enclosed, covered, or altered in any way so as to become hardcover.
