b. A very small portion of the existing home is situated within 75’ of the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka. The revisions to the roof lines will have no impact on lake views enjoyed by neighboring property owners. d. Although the proposed construction docs not add hardcover to the property, the site already contains hardcover in the 75’-250’ zone in excess of the allowed 25% and the applicant has agreed to remove certain hardcover items to result in a reduction from 58.6% to 53.2%. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping wuh the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-281 Subdivision (b), 78- 350 Subdivision (b), 78-1279 Subdivision (b) and 78-1288 to allow reorientation, change in pitch and addition of dormers to the roof of the existing home which is completely within the average lakeshore setback, and partially within 75’ of the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka, subject to the following conditions: I. Council approval is based on the site plan submitted by the applicant and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A. Any amendments to the site plan which are not in conformity with City codes will require further Planning Commission and City Council review. Page 2 of 5
