NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS : I 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1260. 2. The property is located in the LR-IC Single Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on April 18, 1988 and recommended approval of the proposed variance based upon the following findings: A) The existing garage located 2' from the side lot line will be replaced with a new, larger garage located 5' from the lot line. The 5' side setback variance is justified by the need to maintain an adequate corridor to the right side of the garage for future well maintenance access, and will provide a more useful yard area than if the garage was centered on the property.
