The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on August 20, 1990 , and recommended approval of the proposed variance based upon the following findings: a) The deck and gazebo locations wi 11 not tend to be out of character with this neighborhood of small lots, and will be essentially in line with the front line of the existing house. Page 1 of 4 . - s , _ _ ,� _ Cit� of ORONO 1��., � � ., RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL • NO. 2873 • - • � b) The proposed deck and gazebo will not have an impact on the visual density of the neighborhood, therefore approval of the lot coverage variance is appropriate, the hardship being the size of the lot. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings 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. 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 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 s.pirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLIISIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to Municipal Zoning Code Sections 10.28, Subdivision 5 (B) and 10.03, Subdivision 14 (C) to permit the construction of a deck located 17' from the street lot line and a gazebo located 33' from the street lot line, where a 50' street lot line setback is normally required, and which improvements will increase lot coverage to 15.35$ of the property where only 15$ lot coverage is normally allowed, subject to the following conditions: l. Authorities granted by this variance run with the property not with the applicant, but are permissive only and must be exercised by application for a building permit within one year of the date of Council approval , or this variance will expire on that date (September 10, 1991). 2. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this variance shall constitute a violation of the zoning code, shall automatically terminate any authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor.
