The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on October 15,2001 and <br /> recommended approval by a vote of 7 to 0. <br /> 4. The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact: <br /> A. The property consists of three lots legally combined and extremely <br /> undersized for the RR-1B zoning district, but similar in size to nearby <br /> developed lots in the Minnetonka Bluffs neighborhood. <br /> B. The adjacent properties are developed, therefore there is not any additional <br /> land available to meet the zoning requirements. <br /> C. The steep topography of the�lot makes placement of the residence difficult, <br /> • forcing it into the north half of the lot. <br /> D. The proposed residence does meet City ordinance standards for structural lot <br /> coverage. • <br /> E. The proposed residence does meet city ordinance requirements for hardcover <br /> in the 500-1000' setback zone. <br /> F. Driveway access will be approved by the Public Services Director. <br /> 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to <br /> it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting <br /> the variance will not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air, nor pose a fire <br /> hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a <br /> convenience to the applicants,but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship <br /> or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; <br /> and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and <br /> Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> 6.
