The Orono City Council granted variances and approved an amended commercial site plan for the applicant (Zoning Application #1874) per Resolution #3371 on December 13, 1993.

The applicant has filed the cunent application in order to seek approval of an amended variance application with the purpose of relocating the storage module in another parking stall that would lessen the visual impact upon the lake views of the property owner to the west. 4. At the Council meeting of August 22, 1994 Council approved the use of either stalls 37 or 38 because of their alignment behind the principal structure on the � property.

Structure will be located out of the lakeshore setback area. C. Relocation to either stall 37 or 38 will not result in the loss of additional stalls. D. Less visual impact upon users of adjacent County Road as only 8' side would be exposed to roadway. E. There will be no sighting problems at intersection. 5. Noted in the earlier review for Application#1874, in order to compensate for the loss of the single parking stall which reduces the number of spaces to 41 where . 42 were approved, the applicant has provided a letter from the Minnetonka Art Center located approximately 1/4 miles west of the marina for overflow parking use. � Page 2 of 9 f�<��„�;.
