ESS B. In September of 1993, the City approved a sunilar variance allowing total area of accessory structures on the properry at 10,633 s.f. where 10,982.8 s.f. had existed. The current application proposes total accessory structure area at 10,793 s.f. C. The applicant had advised the City in the fall of 1993 of the inunediate need to install a sophisticated security system on this properry involving installation of a guardhouse at a strategic location to the entrance. D. The City of Orono's police records reveal several instances involving intruders on the property, property damage and other instances that must remain confidential but are of record at the Orono Police Department. E. Municipal ordinances of the City do not provide for an abbreviated review for such emergency situations that would have allowed the City to issue • a building permit to expedite construction of the guardhouse. . F. The City Council and the Orono Building and Zoning staff were made aware of this entire matter in the fall of 1993, prior to the installation of the guardhouse. 4. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other properry 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; would 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. 5. The City Council has considered this application including the fmdings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments ��� -• -• • . -- � �• �-----by•the�applicant and the effect of..the proposed variance on the health, safety,and __ � welfare of the community. 1•� .
