5. The City Council finds:
a. The house and appurtenances that could be constructed without the
variance would provide for reasonable use of the property.

granting the variance is not necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship
or difficulty with the Property.
C. The variance is not necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the
Owner.
d. Granting the variance would not be in keeping 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 denies the applicant's
request for a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1288 to allow 27
percent hardcover in the 75 to 250 foot zone.
Adopted by the Orono City Council on this 24th day of September, 2007.
