This application was reviewed as Zoning File#07-3294. 2. The Planning Commission reviewed this application on July 16, 2007 and on a vote of 6 - 0 recommended approval of the conditional use permit for construction and reconstruction of retaining walls within the 0-75 foot shoreland zone and a hardcover variance for the associated hardcover based on the walls being necessary to maintain the steep slope and preserve two large trees. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the owners and the public, 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 neiDhboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the owners, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the owners; 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 the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a conditional use permit for retaining walls within the 0 to 75 foot zone and a variance to allow the hardcover associated with the retaining walls in the 0 to 75 foot zone, subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the site plan submitted by the owners and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A. Any amendments to the site plan which are not in conformity with City codes will require further Planning Commission and City Council review.
