• <br /> � Cit� of ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> � NO. 1247 <br /> • - • • <br /> consideration of lakeshore and riparian credit: <br /> 1 . City has previously established a 75 ' <br /> setback for lagoon - lagoon is part of <br /> Lake Minnetonka (so designated in Hannah <br /> conditional use permit and variance <br /> application) . <br /> 2 . At present the definition of the lakeshore <br /> standard of 140 feet of lakeshore does not • <br /> distinguish between navigable and unnavigable <br /> shoreline nor does it specifically expand on <br /> concept of riparian rights. <br /> 3 . City has previously granted access to Lake <br /> Minnetonka via walkway easement as in Hannah <br /> subdivision. <br /> 4 . Planning Commission finds that this property <br /> meets requirement for subdivision of property <br /> into two riparian 1ots . As to lot configur- <br /> ation, the Planning Commission believes the <br /> • horizontal division with walkway access and <br /> limit of four boats to one dock is enviorn- <br /> mentally more satisfactory than a vertical <br /> division. <br /> 22. The City Council specifically reviewed the findings of the Planning <br /> Commission, as well as new information presented to the Council which had <br /> not been available to the Planning Commission , and in so doing has determined <br /> that ordinance variances are required as noted in this resolution. Variances <br /> have not been applied for by the applicant and the need for these variances <br /> was not adequately investigated nor justified by the City Staff or the <br /> Planning Commission. The Planning Commission made no recommendation for <br /> approval of any performance standard variances , with adequate gross lot area <br /> being the major factor in their recommendation for final subdivision approval. <br /> 23. The granting of the required variances ���ould result in the following <br /> violations of Section 32 . 340 of the Zoning Code with which the applicant <br /> must first comply before the required variances can be granted: <br /> a. The variances would have an adverse effect upon <br /> the health, safety and welfare of the community <br /> for the reasons outlined herein. <br /> b. The safety and welfare of the community would <br /> be adversely affected for the reasons outlined <br /> • herein, especially increased traffic and potential <br /> drainage problems . <br /> PAG E�_O F 11 <br />
