� °� � . � o 0 � '� 1 CITY of ORONO . � . � �., ti �',� G'�' � RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL ' ��kESI3�4� NO. � � � � . ' property is the Wood Rill SNA, a `big woods' Scientific and Natural Area owned � by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Directly west and northwest of the property is a lar�e estate parcel including open fields, woods and wetlands. 6. The property is primarily open fields, approximately 10% of it being wooded. The only woodland i.mpacts anticipated are related to the loop driveway, where the loop center is inte�ded to remain wooded but the driveway will result in some removals. Only one tree to be removed is within 75' of the lake, and that tree is right at the 7�' mark. 7. The preliminary plat dra�ving accurately depicts the front, side, rear and lakeshore setbacks that would apply to this subdivision. Lot lines have been located so that the existing residence and tennis court on Lot 1 will meet required setbacks. The `gazage' structure in Lot 1 is within the 150' setback for Lydiard Lake. This structure was built prior to adoption of the Shoreland Ordinance which � established Lydiard Lake as a Natural Environment Lake, and will remain as a legal nonconforniin� structure. 8. Placement of a ne�i• residence on Lot 2 would normally be subject to the average lakeshore setback requirements of the Zoning Code. However, the required 150' lake setback, the lack of a any residence structure to the east, and the substantial distance between the existing home on Lot 1 and the proposed building site on Lot 2, are factors that support a waiving of the average lakeshore setback requirement for placement of a principal residence on Lot 2. 9. A portion of the Lydiard Lake shoreline for Lot 1, and most of the shoreline for Lot 2, is a bluff by defin.ition. The existing garage on Lot 1 encroaches to within .� 12-14' of the top of the bluff, making it nonconforming with regards to the � required 30' `top of bluff setback. On Lot 2, the top of bluff is approximately 90' from the shore, but �tizth a required 150' structure setback from the OHWL, a new residence «-ould more than meet the 30' bluff setback. 10. All 3 lots have been found to have adequate and suitable soils for on-site septic treatment facilities pro�-iding both a primary and alternate site for each lot. The 1-bedroom guest house and 4-bedroom main house on Lot 1 currently have separate systems; the guest house system is conforming, the main house system � is non-compliant and must be replaced by the end of 2007.
