C it.y of ORONO <br />RESOtUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. _-098 ^ <br />18. In a letter dated DocemLer 8, 1986, Dr. Hanson Odviscd th“ <br />following ; <br />1 have no objection discharging water into a lagoon prior to <br />release into Lake Minnetonka, provided normal precautions <br />against erosion, etc. are taken. <br />19. The discharge pipe has been placed to outlet into the <br />lagoon/main lake as opposed to entering the adjacent wetlands <br />because of the following reasons: <br />a) There is a greater chance of the pipes freezing and <br />making the system inoperable. <br />b) There may be greater questions of safety or liabilities <br />if discharge weakens ice or creates other hazards within the <br />shared wetlands area. The lagoon area is contained within <br />applicant's property. <br />20. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this <br />property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other <br />property in this zoning district; that granting the variance <br />would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor <br />pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring properties; <br />would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is <br />necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is <br />necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the appli­ <br />cant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the <br />Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br />21. The City Council finds that granting a conditional use <br />permit to allow the installation of an underground drainage pipe <br />for a geothermal heating and cooling system within the lakeshore <br />protected area will not be detrimental to the health, safety or <br />general welfare of the public, would not adversely affect light, <br />air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring <br />properties# nor will it depreciate surrounding property values <br />and that the proposed level of use of the property will be in <br />keeping with the intent and objectives of the Zoning Code and <br />Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br />CONCLOSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br />k <br />Based upon one or more of the above findings# the Orono City <br />Council hereby grants a conditional use permit per Municiapl Code <br />Section 10.03# Subdivision 19 to William J. Ulrich to permit the <br />installation of an underground pipe for the purpose of discharging <br />water from a geothermal heating and cooling system located within the <br />lakeshore protected area and a variance per Section 10.55# Subdivision <br />0 to permit excavation within the lakeshore protected area subiect to the following conditions: <br />Pmcia a rtf A
