I <br />Minnesota: <br />1. <br />2. <br />3. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, <br />FINDINGS <br />This application was reviewed as Zoning File #2410. <br />The property is located in the LR-IC Zoning District, where 1/2 acre or 21,780 <br />sq. ft. is the minimum lot area. The property consists of .28 acres or 10,350 sq. <br />ft. <br />The Planning Commission reviewed this application on July 19, 1999 and <br />recommended approval of a variance on a vote of 7 to 0 to permit new <br />residential construction per the site plan dated July 20, 1998 and revised June <br />10, 1999, and to deny a conditional use permit for grading within 75* of the <br />OHWL of Lake Minnetonka. <br />4. The Planning Commission made the following finding s of fact: <br />The property was developed prior to the adoption of the Zoning Code. <br />B. The total hardcover and structure on the lot will decrease upon <br />redevelopment. <br />C.The building envelope on the property is minimized by the lot being <br />underazed for the Zoning District. Developing the lot without variances <br />would not be possible. <br />D.Adjacent properties are developed closer than 75' to the lakeshore. The <br />new residence would not encroach the average lakeshore setback. <br />E.The City's Comprehensive Plan and Zomng Code encourages protection <br />of the shordand areas around natural waterways to include preserving the <br />existing grade around Lake Nfinnetonka. The applicants have proposed <br />grading 124 cubic yards within 75' of the lakeshore to create a w^out <br />for the lower level of a new residence. It is the position of the City to <br />not alter the grade within the lakeshore setback. <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />I * <br />i r <br />‘ 1 <br />! <br />I <br />!
