which requires a minimum lot area of 2.0 acres and a minimum lot width of 200'.
3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on

a. The applicant's property is a corner lakeshore lot abutting County Roud 15 as
well as Bracketts Point Road. The code language regarding fences along
roadways for comer lakeshore lots abuttin� a major thoroughfare and a local
street is ambiguous.

c. The fence helps to address the security issues the applicant has identified.
d. The height variance request is reasonable considering all of the above
findings.
4. The City Council has considered this application includin� the followin� findings
and recomrnendation of the Plaruiing Commission, reports by City staff,
comments by the applicant and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance
on the health, safety and welfare of the coirllnunity:
a. The wrought iron fence is 60" as opposed to 72" which is the maximum
height fence allowed in aily district. Tlie applicant has not c�nstructed the
highest fence possible.
b. The fence is darlc in color with decreases its visibility within its surroundings.
c. The desi�l of the fence is such that it has a very low level of opaqueness, thus
the visual impact of the fence is minimal. Further when mature, the
vegetation surrounding the fence should offer ma;cimum screzning.
5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to
it and do not apply generally 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 denionstrable hardship,
or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property ri�ht of the applicant;
and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zonin� Code and
Comprehensive Plan of the City.
CONCLL'SIONS, ORDER AND C0:�IDITIO�'S
Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby �rants a
variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1405 Subdivision 7 to allow a 60"

conditions:
