9kE3I;0g' NO. _ � 9 � �
3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on May 19, 2003
and recommended approval by a vote of 5 to 0.
4. The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact:
A. The proposal reduces hardcover within the 0-75' setback one;
B. Removal of the existing stairs and retaining walls require filling in the bluff
impact zone where no fill is permitted. However, stairs and landings are
permitted within the bluff impact zone;
C. Properties with major topographic changes,prohibiting a property owner to
access the lake, are pe_rnutted to have one set of 4' wide stairs with 32 s.f.
landings to access the lakeshore; and
D. There is an existing deck within the 0-75' setback zone which is
nonconforming and in need of structural repairs. The property owners were
notified in a previous resolution that stxuctural repairs to the deck would
require City approval.
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
variances will not adversely affect traffic conditions,light,air,nor pose a fire hazard
or other danger to neighl�oring 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.
6. 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 variances on the health, safety and
welfare of the community.
CONCLUSIONS, ORDER,AND CONDITIONS
Based upon one or more of the above findings,the Orono City Council hereby grants variances from
Municipal ZoninJ Code Section 10.56,Subdivision 16(J)(2);Section 10.22,Subdivision 2;Section
10.56,Subdivision 16(L)(1);Section 10.56,Subdivision 16(L)(2);and Section 10.56,Subdivision
