•szL <br /> Op CITY OF ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> O <br /> RILZA* <br /> NO. 7341 <br /> "Esxov- <br /> the existing home creates difficulties. While the nature of the hardcover is changing <br /> slightly,no increase in overall hardcover is proposed. <br /> b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the <br /> landowner. <br /> The uniquely small lot size,width and location to the lake and roadway within the LR-1C <br /> zoning district standards prevent a residential footprint consistent with the neighborhood. <br /> The existing deck, awning, and stairs are in disrepair and are unsafe. The proposed deck <br /> will occupy the same footprint and give the existing home a safe front entryway. <br /> c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality." <br /> The variances are requested in order to permit construction of a new deck in the same <br /> footprint as an existing deck and awning structure. The proposed improvement is designed <br /> to fit the character of the neighborhood and existing home. <br /> 4. "Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties." Economic considerations <br /> have not been a factor in the variance approval determination. <br /> 5. "Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar <br /> energy systems.Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as defined in Minn.Stat. § <br /> 216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter 78." This condition is not <br /> applicable. <br /> 6. "The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under Orono City <br /> Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located." This condition <br /> is not applicable,as a residential home is an allowed use in the LR-1C District. <br /> 7. "The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as a two- <br /> family dwelling." This condition is not applicable. <br /> 8. "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or <br /> immediately adjoining property." The property's substandard size and orientation with respect to the <br /> lakeshore and adjacent properties creates difficulties which also apply to many of the properties in the <br /> same neighborhood. <br /> 9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is <br /> located." The property's substandard size and orientation with respect to the lakeshore and adjacent <br /> properties creates difficulties which also apply to many of the properties in the same neighborhood. <br /> However the existing home location is unique to this property. <br /> 3 <br />
