��Np CITY OF ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> y� G�� No. 6 9 0 8 <br /> t�'YES H 0�� <br /> 4. "Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties." Economic <br /> considerations have not been a factor in the variance approval determination. <br /> 5. "Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight <br /> for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as <br /> defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter <br /> 78."This condition is not applicable. <br /> 6. "The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under <br /> Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is <br /> located." This condition is not applicable, as the use for a single family home is an <br /> allowed use in the RR-1B District. <br /> 7. "The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling <br /> as a two-family dwelling."This condition is not applicable. <br /> 8. "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such <br /> property or immediately adjoining property." The size of the lot in the RR-1B zoning <br /> district and abuting 3 streets is unique for the requested variances. <br /> 9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the <br /> land is located." The size of the lot and its locations as it pertains to the existing <br /> zoning district is peculiar to the property. <br /> 10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a <br /> substantial property right of the applicant." Staff finds this statement to be true to allow <br /> for construction of a single family home on this parcel. <br /> 11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or <br /> morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter." Granting of the <br /> requested variances would not impair health, safety, comfort or morals and would <br /> be in keeping with the intent of the zoning code. <br /> 12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but <br /> is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." The application has stated the narrow <br /> corner lot has setback challenges for construction of a single family home. The <br /> property is unique in size location between three streets. <br /> CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS: <br /> Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a <br /> variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section78-420 to allow interior and street side yard <br /> setbacks in addition to the previously approved variances Resolution 6864, subject to the <br /> following conditions: <br /> 1. Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings. <br /> 3 <br />
