Tt`:lH RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 6 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 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 Owners, but is necessary to alleviate a practical 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. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based on the above findings, City Council of Orono, Minnesota hereby grants a variance from Orono Municipal Zoning Code 78-1279 to permit construction of an addition with a 26.8' lake setback where 75 feet is required; variances from Section 78-305 allowing a 24.9' setback on the north side and a 21.9' setback on the south where a 30 foot setback is required, subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the survey and building plans submitted by the Applicants and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits B & C. Any amendments to these plans may require further Planning Commission and City Council review. 2. Hardcover is proposed at 2,985 square feet or 22.3%, however shall not increase above 3,347 square feet or 25% as permitted in Tier 1. Any changes to the plans or the Property which result in an increase in hardcover above the existing or allowed levels are not approved as part of this variance request. 3.
