NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono,
FINDINGS
1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1120.
2. The property is located in the LR -1C Single Family Lakeshore
Residential Zoning District.
3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on March
16, 1987, and recommended partial approval of the requested variances,
as follows:
A) Recommended approval of a side lot line setback of 5 feet,
finding that this distance will provide an adequate separ..+ n
from the neighboring structure and fire hydrant while adeL F y
preserving applicant's lake views to the east.
B) Recommended that a variance be granted to allow 271 hardcover
in the 75-250' lakeshore setback zone, justified by the need to
provide a 2 -car garage on the property with location J.=ctated by
safety concerns.

Recommended that the existing decks rot be considered
hardcover per previous Council approval.
D) Recommended denial of the street setback variance, finding
that public safety (fire protection and roadway maintenance)
would be hindered by the requested location 2' from the lot line.
4. he City Council has considered this application including the
f _ . ..gs and recommendations of the P 1 anning Commi ssion, reports by
City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed
variances on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
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 variances would
not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire
hazard or other danger to neighboring property; wculd not merely serve
as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a
demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a
substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping
with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan
of the City.
