MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday,April 8,2019 7:00 o'clock p.m. Walsh stated the City Council could approve the application with the caveat that the 700 square feet of hardcover does not include any new hardcover in the 0-75 foot zone. Since there already is hardcover there,the City Council will allow the 700 square feet but no more. Seals commented her understanding is they can replace it in like and kind. Barnhart stated it looks like there is a 158 square foot patio that is existing in the 0-75 foot zone according to the memo to the Planning Commission. Johnson stated the survey appears to show 123 square feet. Walsh stated it does not really matter to the City Council what the shape of the patio is since the applicants are only allowed 700 square feet and that the applicants can design it as they would like. Johnson noted the City is assuming that is an approved patio that was originally put in there. Barnhart stated it is almost impossible for Staff to go back and find the original permits given the amount of time it would take to review the application. Seals moved,Crosby seconded,to adopt RESOLUTION NO.6966,a Resolution Approving Variance from Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-330; 78-1279; and 78-1680,with the requirement that the current hardcover within the average lakeshore setback consisting of 701 square feet not be exceeded. VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 0. 12. LA19-000009 JAMISON KOHOUT ON BEHALF OF REAL ASSETS, LLC, 1645 SHADYWOOD ROAD—PRELIMINARY PLAT—RESOLUTION NO.6962 Barnhart stated this is a preliminary plat application to subdivide this parcel into two buildable lots with one driveway. It is based on a front lot/back lot configuration. The property is located in the LR-1C district,which has a minimum width of 100 feet and a half acre lot size. The back lot has to be 150 percent of the minimum requirement of the zoning district. The width is the same as what was previously proposed,but the setbacks have increased for the back lot. The applicant has prepared a preliminary plat that meets all of those requirements and provides a building pad for both lots with the enhanced setbacks. Access will be provided via Shadywood Road with a new outlot. The driveway will be gravel at first and then pavement will be applied the second year. The properties will be served by water and sewer and the applicants will need to obtain a permit from Hennepin County. Staff and Planning Commission recommend approval. Seals stated whenever there is a subdivision, everyone wants to make sure everything is correct, and that it sounds like the lot size and everything is correct. Walsh stated that was also his question, and as long as it meets all the requirements, he is fine with it. Crosby asked whether this will be a shared driveway. Page 5 of 12
