CITY OF ORONO 2750 Kelley Parkway P.O. Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 (952) 249-4600 ZONING HLE #03-2886 NOTICE OF COUNCIL ACTION DATE OF NOTICE: June 24, 2003 TO: Dr. Dennis & Diane Killian 400 Highcroft Road Wayzata, MN 55391 COPIES: TYPE OF APPLICATION: Variance DATE OF MEETING: June 23, 2003 VOTE: 3 FOR 0 AGAINST Motion: Direct stafT to draA a resolution for approval of the following variances: 1. Lot area of 20,300 sf (0.476 ac) whcie 43,560 s.f (1.0 ac) is required. 2. Hardcover in the 0-75' zone: 274 sf (2.47%) where no hardcover is permitted. 3. Hardcover in the 75-250’ zone: 2,790 s.f. (30.36%) where only 25% is normally permitted (see calculation discussion below). 4. Grading and niling within 75' of the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka where no grading or filling is normally pennitted. 5. Placing fill in a bluff impact zone where no fill is normally permitted. Regarding the 75-250’ hardcover. Council indicated they agreed that the pie-shaped lot configuration is a hardship. If the lot was completely rectangular, no hardship would be present, which is what the Council concluded on the Toth site to the immediate north. To quantify the extent of your hardship, your lot shape is redefined ('regularized') as a rectangle by pivoting the angled south lot line at its center point to become parallel with your north line. The triangular area east of the center pivot (which is at approximately the 75' setback line) is then credited to the west portion of your lot, as depicted in the exhibit provided by your architects early in the review process, and as depicted in my confirmative sketch attached. The result is that your 75-250’ zone would 'expand' from 9,190 s.f. to 11,160 s.f and your 25% 75-250* hardcover allotment would grow from 2,298 s.f to 2,790 s.f This is functionally a 492 s.f variance and your hardcover would be at 30.36% of the actual 75-250' zone. A resolution reflecting the above will be drafted and placed on the Council's July 14 agenda for final action. The meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. If you desire certified copies of the official Council minutes, they are available fit>m the City Clerk after review and approval by the City Council.
