. o.�,. � � o � � 3 CITY of ORONO ,� ; , _ � ti �� G~' RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL `�k'ESI30g' NO. 5.� Z 3 . E. According to Heruiepin County plat maps and the survey submitted with the application, there is a portion of Forest Lane (undeveloped) located between this property a.nd the lakeshore. It is assumed that this portion of Forest Lane will be combiiied witli tlie applicants' property at some time in the future. It has served as the lakeshore access for this lot. Other lots in the neighborhood have had Forest Lane vacated and a few lots have combined that portion of property with the residential site. For current zoning purposes, this lot is being considered a lakeshore lot for setback purposes even though the legal description and property records do not include the vacated portion of the road. Tlus is an important distinction for this property because a non-lakeshore lot would not permit an accessory building to be located closer to the street than the house. 4. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to � it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variances will not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air, nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. 5. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recominendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City Staff, comments by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER,AND CONDITIONS � Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1288 to permit 3,372 s.f.
