r � clt o� oR,oNo • �' RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL � NO. 1297 • • • • WHEREAS, because this property is not a building site but does abut other residentially zoned properties, certain restrictions are considered necessary to ensure proper protection of the adjoining residential properties; and WHEREAS, the Department of Natural Resources has asked the City to reconsider certain provisions of Resolution No. 1242 relating to the sale of the above property and the City Council has done so at the council meeting of June 22, 1981. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Orono hereby makes the following findings of fact: l. It is in the public interest to provide a parking lot and access to the DNR Luce Line at this point. 2. The intended use of this property conforms to the Comprehensive Plans of the City. 3. The size of the proposed parcel is substandard for � residential purposes in the RR-1B District but is sufficient for the stated public purposes. 4. The public benefit to be gained from the creation of this access justifies approval of a lot area variance for creation of the 3 . 1 acre parcel. The remaining City land exceeds 5. 0 acres and, therefore, does fully comply with all zoning ordinances of the City. AND, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that based upon the above findings, the City Council hereby approves subdivision of the above described City land for this purpose, and furthermore, authorizes the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into agreements providing for the sale of said parcel to the State of Minnesota subject to the following conditions: l.
