A RESOLOTION GRANTING <br />A VARIANCES TO <br />MDNICIPAL ZONING CODE <br />SECTION 10.22, SUBDIVISIONS 1 & 2 <br />FILE #1582 <br />WHEREAS, Carol Burgess (hereinafter "the applicant") is <br />owner of the property located at 2800 Pheasant Road within the City <br />of Orono (hereinafter "City") and legally described as follows: <br />Exhibit A, Attached, (hereinafter "the property"); <br />WHEREAS, the applicant has applied to the City of Orono for <br />a variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivisions 1 & 2 <br />to permit the construction of 3 season porch and upper level deck <br />additions, such porch and decks encroaching past the defined average <br />lakeshore setback line where no encroachment is normally allowed , and <br />such additions comprising hardcover in the 75-250' lakeshore setback <br />zone in excess of 25% hardcover normally allowed. <br />Minnesota: <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, <br />FINDINGS <br />1.
