5. 6. D. E. F. G. CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 42 1 n The existing garage is located 165’ from the residence and is located within the required street yard setback. The parking pad in front of the garage is located in the Park Drive right-of-way. The amount of hardcover in the 0-75’ setback will be reduced from 370 sq. ft. (9.97%) to 9 sq. ft. (.24%). The topography of the zoning lot is steep which necessitates the proposed driveway to be located within Park Drive and a portion of Bluff Street to provide a 2% landing area at the street and in front of the garage and a slope of 10% or less for the driveway. The proposed culvert, grading, and land alteration as proposed in Exhibit A will direct water away from the structures to a low area on the zoning lot towards Lake Minnetonka. The City Council finds that the facts and conditions applying to this application are peculiar to this zoning lot and do not generally apply to other property in the LR-IB Zoning District; that granting the variances would not adversely affect light, air nor pose a hazard to neighboring properties; and would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty. The City Council finds that granting a conditional use permit to allow 500 cubic yards of cut and fill and grading within 5’ of the property line will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the public. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.24, Subdivision 5 (B); Section 10.22, Subdivisions 1 and 2; Section 10.56, Subdivision 16 (L) (1&2) and for a conditional use permit to allow land alteration and grading, subject to the following conditions; Page 3 of 8
