r <br />y£M .O <br />GITYof ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />4671NO. <br />9. The Planning Commission again reviewed the request on May 21, 2001 and <br />recommended denial by a vote of 4 to 0 based on the following findings: <br />A,New construction projects that demonstrate a suitable building area have been <br />held to the 25% hardcover limitation and the Planning Commission has not <br />looked favorably on applications the exceed allowed limits. <br />B.The Planning Commission agreed to table the application on November 20, <br />2000 to allow the applicants an opportunity to reduce hardcover. The plan <br />reviewed on May 21,2001 did not reduce hardcover from the plan reviewed <br />on November 20,2000. <br />C.The approved site plan does not allow any hardcover for a sidewalk to the <br />front entrance or indicate hardcover that could be used for access to the third <br />stall of the garage. <br />D. The Planning Commission did not make findings that could have supported <br />a hardship that would have required variances to allow hardcover in excess <br />of what is permitted on the property. <br />10. The granting of the requested variances would be contrary to the provisions of <br />Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 1 and Section 10.56, Subdivision <br />16 (L) with which the applicants must first comply in order that variances be granted. <br />The Council finds that: <br />A.The property in question £§q be put to a reasonable use if used under the <br />conditions allowed by the official controls if the proposed variances are not <br />granted. <br />B.Granting of the proposed variances would appear to serve as a convenience <br />to the applicants and the applicants have not demonstrated a reasonable <br />hardship or practical difficulty acceptable to the City Council to permit an ice <br />house to remain on the propert>' exceeding allowed standards. <br />Page 3 of 4
