shore of Lake Minnetonka; thence Southeasterly along said shore of Lake Minnetonka <br />to a point in a line drawn parallel with and nventy-eight (28) rods distant from the East <br />line of said Lot Seven (7); thence North along said line parallel with and twenty-eight <br />(28) rods distant from the East line of said Lot Seven (7) to the point of beginning. <br />All in Hennepin County, Minnesota. <br />(hereinafter "the property"); and <br />WHEREAS, after due published and mailed notice in accordance with Minnesota <br />Statutes 462.358 et. seq. and the City of Orono's Zoning and Subdivision Codes, the Orono <br />Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 17, 1998, at which time all persons <br />desiring to be heard concerning this application were given the opportunity to speak thereon; <br />and <br />WHEREAS, at their regular meetings held on March 9, 1998, the Orono City <br />Council considered the subdivision application of the subdivider noting the following findings <br />of fact: <br />1. <br />3. <br />The property is located within the LR-IA Single Family Lakeshore Residential <br />Zoning District requiring a minimum of two acres of contiguous dry buildable <br />land within each newly created lot. <br />The property contains a total of approximately 17.5 acres of land. The only <br />wetlands located on the property include two wetlands adjacent to and within the <br />floodplain of Lake Minnetonka, comprising less than 0.1 acre in total area. All <br />portions of such wetlands located above the 929.4 OHWL shall be subject to a <br />Flowage and Conservation Easement. <br />The proposed plat consists of seven residential lots each meeting the minimum <br />lot standard requirements of the LR-IA, Single Family Lakeshore Residential <br />Zoning District, except as follows: Lots 2 and 3 front on the proposed cul-de- <br />sac and do not meet the defined minimum 200' lot width requirement as <br />measured at the rear line of the defined front yard. Lot 2 has a defined width <br />of 110' and Lot 3 has a defined width of 170 ’. However, the granting of a lot <br />width variance for these lots is justified by the fact that each of Lots 2 and 3 <br />contains a suitable building site meeting all required lot line setbacks without the <br />need for further variances. <br />Page 2 of 10
