NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of <br />Orono, Minnesota; <br />1. <br />0 <br />3. <br />4. <br />5. <br />FINDINGS <br />This application was reviewed as Zoning File #03-2936. <br />The property is located in tlie LR - 1C zoning district, which requires a <br />minimum lot area of Vi acre and a minimum lot width of 100 feet. The <br />applicants’ property is .49 acres and has a width of 60 feet. <br />The Plaruiing Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing <br />held on August 18, 2003 and recommended approval of the lot area, lot <br />width and 250-500’ zone hardcover variance based on the following <br />findings: <br />a. The property is .49 acres in size when .50 acres is required. <br />b. The property has a lot width of 60 feet at the shoreline and 75 ’ setback <br />when 100’ is required. <br />c. Because the lot is being reviewed as a rebuild, the lot must conform to <br />current Zonin., Ordinance standards or a hardship shall be presented. <br />d. Due to the configuration of the lot, minimal area exists in the 250-500’ <br />ione, hence a variance to allow excess hardcover for the proposed <br />detached garage is not reasonable. <br />c. Because of sight visibility problems on Casco Circle, a turnaround is <br />necessary to safely exit the drive. <br />The City Council has considered this application including the findings <br />and recommendation of the Planning Contmission, reports by City staff, <br />comments by the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed <br />variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. <br />The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are <br />peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning <br />district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />iL <br />[■ <br />I
