City of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 2413 WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property im this zoning district; granting a variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other ;danger to neighboring properties; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a deidonstrable 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; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that granting a conditional use permit to allow the construction of a driveway less than 26' from the edge of the designated wetland will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the public, would not adversely affect light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring properties, nor will it depreciate surrounding property values; and that the proposed level of use of the property will be in keeping with the intent and objectives of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.
