NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono,
FINDINGS
1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1806.
2. The property is located in the LR-1A, Zoning District.
3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on April 19, 1993,
and recommended approval of the proposed variance based on the following

A The applicants' lot is limited by sloping topography as elevations to the
rear of the residence drop off steeply which would require excessive
amounts of fill to provide a stable base for the court.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
40. s
The removal of mature trees on this steeply sloping iand to the rear of the
residence would eliminate the buffer from the residence on Lot 8 to the
immediate south.
Spruce trees immediately north of the proposed tennis court location
minimize impacting the surrounding neighborhood to the north, east, and
west.
No outside lighting may be used for this tennis court.
4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and
recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments
by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance 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 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 applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a
demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property
right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the
Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.
CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS
Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby
grants variances to the Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivisions 9 (D) and 14 (D)

front of the front line of the residence, subject to the following conditions:
