• _,. ,,__t .' ~' --· •. <br />/ <br />City of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CIT-Y COUNCIL <br />NO. 2812 <br />b) Hennepin County has given.the applicant a verbal <br />approval of the driveway layout proposed. <br />c) The proposed garage and driveway location will <br />leave adequate room for parking vehicles off the <br />traveled roadway. <br />d) Other possible garage configurations would require <br />additional variances but provide less functional access <br />to the garage. <br />e) Because the adjacent property to the northeast is <br />an outlet required to be maintained for lake access <br />purposes for properties within the plat of Bayside <br />Landing, this area which the applicant currently <br />maintains appears visually a part of applicant's yard <br />area and reduces the impact of the additional structure <br />on visual density in the neighborhood. <br />f) There is no excess hardcover on the property which <br />can be feasibly removed to reduce the hardcover <br />percentage on the property. There is no hardcover in <br />the 0-75' zone. The extremely small size of the lot <br />(approximately 8,000 square feet) and the fact that <br />there ,is no additional land available to be purchased, <br />are hardships to the property which help justify <br />granting of the variances. <br />4. The City Council has considered this application <br />including the findings and recommendations of the Planning <br />Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant <br />and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, <br />safety and welfare of the community. <br />5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on <br />this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally <br />to other property in this zoning district; that granting the <br />variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, <br />light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to <br />neighboring property; .would not merely serve as a <br />convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate <br />a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to <br />preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and <br />would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning <br />Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City •. · , ._··_ <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />-:. -
