0 CITY OF ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> $ NO. 7480 <br /> t'x ' <br /> ESHd - <br /> defined in Minn. Stat. §216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter <br /> 78."This condition is not applicable. <br /> 6. "The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under <br /> Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is <br /> located."This condition is not applicable, as residential improvements are allowed in the <br /> LR-1 B District. <br /> 7. "The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling <br /> as a two-family dwelling."This condition is not applicable. <br /> 8. "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such <br /> property or immediately adjoining property." The location of the existing improvements on <br /> the Property, the orientation and extreme setback of the location of the neighboring <br /> homes, and existing hardcover are conditions unique to this Property. <br /> 9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the <br /> land is located."The location of the existing improvements on the Property and the <br /> orientation and extreme setback of the home to the south are conditions unique to the <br /> Property. <br /> 10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a <br /> substantial property right of the applicant." The existing home is nonconforming with <br /> respect to the average lakeshore and side yard setbacks. There are no options for a <br /> conforming expansion of the home's footprint or volume upward that do not require <br /> variances. The variances are necessary. <br /> 11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or <br /> morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter." Granting the <br /> requested variances will not adversely impact health, safety, comfort, or morals; nor will <br /> it be contrary to the intent of the Code. <br /> 12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but <br /> is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty."The average lakeshore setback line on <br /> this property eliminates the options for expanding and/or improving the home; the <br /> granting of the requested variance is necessary to alleviate a practical difficulty resulting <br /> from the location of the existing home in relation to the neighboring homes. The existing <br /> hardcover exceeds permitted levels; the applicants' proposed removals will result in a <br /> 122 square foot reduction. <br /> 4 <br />
