o. o m 4. 7. 6. ClTYofORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 4 0 61 contains a suitable building site meeting all required lot line setbacks without the need for further variances. Lot 7 is a comer lot abutting Old Crystal Bay Road and the private road outlot. By definition, the boundary abutting the private road is the front lot line, and the defined lot width at the rear of the defined front yard of Lot 7 is approximately 60’ where 200 ’ is required. A variance to lot width is justified based on the configuration of Lot 7, because it has far in excess of 200 ’ of frontage on Old Crystal Bay Road; because the location of septic sites and the stormwater pond still allow for a suitable buildable envelope; and because of the unique shape of the property. Lots 1 and 2 are ’through’ lots subject to a conditional use permit requirement for placement of any accessory ’ structures. Lots 4, 5 and 6 have very restrictive building envelopes due to topography, bluff impact zones, and drainfield sites, which in combination leave little flexibility for the location of the homes to be constructed. Each of these three Lots contains sufficient width, and each is oriented in a manner m relauon to the shoreline such that application of the average lakeshore setback ordinance to these Lots will not serve its intended purpose of preserving adjacent Lots views. Therefore it is appropriate to exempt said three Lots from having to meet 'average lakeshore setback' standards. The property contains approximately 800 ’ of relatively undisturbed, heavily wooded Lake Minnetonka bluff shoreline abutting Maxwell Bay, located across said Bay from Noerenberg Park. As one of the relatively few such undistobed areas left on Lake Minnetonka, this unique natural feature is of such value to the public, especially as viewed from the lake, that special protection measles are warranted in order to preserve such features in as natural a state as possible. All lots have been found to have adequate and suitable soils for on-site septic treatment facilities providing both a primary and alternate site for each ot the seven lots. Final septic system designs are required for each lot. Wlule the City is pursuing the possibility of providing municipal sewer o is Page 3 of 10
