ii CITY of ORONO 10. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL 4 6; -•NO. ^ stormwater management pond has been proposed to treat stormwater before leaving the site. Water drains towards the south side of the property and enters a culvert that carries the water directly to the lake. A management pond will treat much of the water before leaving the site. ■9. County staff has indicated the operations would reduce noise to surrounding neighborhoods and eliminate the salt and sand transported by stormwater runoff to the adjacent wetlands. The wetlands drain into a storm sewer pipe and are routed .to Lake Minnetonka. Due to the proposed buildings capacity, Hennepin County has estimated approximately 60 round trip truck runs annually would be eliminated and the salt/sand operations would occur during daytime hours. Without indoor storage the County is required to make deliveries on a 24 hour schedule during snowfall events. The Council finds that the conditions existing on tliis property are peculiar to it and 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 properties, 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 with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. 12. The City Council fii.ds that granting a conditional use permit for land alteration for pond construction will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the public, would not adversely affect light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property, nor will its use depreciate surrounding property values and that the proposed level of use of the property will be in k*. eping with the intent and objectives of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. 1 Page 4 of 8
