4. The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact: <br />A. The proposed residence will meet the minimum setback requirements for <br />the R-IA Zoning District. <br />5.

The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br />recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br />by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety <br />and welfare of the community. <br />CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br />Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby <br />grants a variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.20, Subdivision 5 (B) to permit the <br />existing rc'^idence to be removed to allow for new construction on a lot with .529 acres where <br />1 acre is required.
