MINUTES OF THE ORONO PI.ANN I NG COMMISSION MEETING HELD MAY 20, 1985. PAGE 9 <br />#912 HEDLUND (CONT) Gorcon Hedlund noted that there are a lot worse problems <br />wittin Orono and throughout Hennepin County than this access <br />point.. <br />Chairman Callahan closed the public hearing at 10:05 p.m. <br />Goetten ,noted that in light of the dangerous access area that <br />shp would not be able to vote in favor of the application. <br />Taylor move.1, Kelley seconded, to recommend denial of <br />Hedlund's var: ance application to construct a new home based <br />on the following findings: <br />1. Lot does not follow the neighborhucd pattern of existing <br />development, being smaller than 91% of ih- developed <br />lots -,thin 1000' cf the property. <br />2. Relatively unsafe county road access. <br />3. Applicant had forewarning that lots may be unbuildat,le <br />prior to his purchase. <br />4. Denial is consistent with past denials on vacant <br />substandard lots of this size. <br />5. Property could be combined with adjacent properties to <br />the east or south, both of which are substandard in area. <br />6. Intent of the application is contrary to the letter and <br />intent of the Orono Comprehensive Plan. <br />7. Granting of this variance would set an adverse prec -nt <br />in the City. <br />8. The property falls too short of the zoning standards to <br />justify granting of the variance. <br />9. There is an existing hazardous traffic: problemon the "S" <br />curveand that an additional access onto this -oint would <br />further the dangerous situation. <br />Motion, Ayes (6), Nays (0). <br />
