���o CITY OF ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> �� ��� rro. 6 7 2 � <br /> t'9kESH04� <br /> b. The proposed addition requires no variances, as all setbacks, hardcover, and <br /> other zoning requirements will be met. <br /> c. The proposed addition and associated interior remodeling, along with the <br /> proposed landscaping plan that removes an existing detached storage shed, are <br /> positive improvements to the property and its use as a place of worship and <br /> daycare center. <br /> d. The property is served by municipal sewer and water. <br /> e. T'he location of the addition is anticipated to have no impacts on neighboring <br /> properties, and the size of the addition is very minor as compared to the size <br /> and orientation of the existing building. <br /> f. The slight increase in hardcover from 24.53% to 24.83% leaves the site well <br /> below the 35%hardcover limit. It is anticipated that the hardcover increase will <br /> not require additional stormwater management facilities unless required by the <br /> Minnehaha Creek Watershed District(MCWD). <br /> g. The architecture of the new addition will be compatible in architectural styling <br /> with the existing building. <br /> 5. The City Council makes the following additional findings and determines that the <br /> site plan proposal(findings shown in italics): <br /> a. Is compatible with surrounding land uses; The extension of the building and the <br /> proposed kitchen expansion will have no impact on surrounding land uses. <br /> b. Preserves existing unique and natural features of the site and minimizes impacts <br /> to wetlands, floodplains,and shoreland areas;Expansion of the building results <br /> in a minimal increase in hardcover at a level within required limits, and will be <br /> located approximately 1 SO feet from the wetland in the southerly portion of the <br /> site, far exceeding the 35' required wetland setback, hence there are no <br /> anticipated impacts to natural site conditions. <br /> c. Creates harmonious relationship of buildings and open space with natural site <br /> features and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship of <br /> the development; As an architecturally compatible extension of the existing <br /> building, no negative visual impacts are anticipated. The addition also allows <br /> for removal of an existing storage shed located south of the building. <br /> d. Achieves a safe and efficient vehicular and pedestrian circulation system; <br /> Expansion of the building will have no negative impacts on vehicular <br /> circulation. Pedestrian circulation will be improved by providing an additional <br /> exit doorway on the west side of the existing building. <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br />
