CITY of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />1£. ~. ~tf!,..,, NO. _______ _ <br />required, and hardcover variance to pe1mit 37% hardcover within the 250' -500' zone <br />when 30% is normally allowed. <br />NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of <br />Orono, Minnesota: <br />FINDINGS <br />1. This renewal application was reviewed as Zoning File #04-3047. The <br />original application was reviewed as Zoning File #03-2936. <br />2. The property is located in the LR -lC zoning district, which requires a <br />minimum lot area of one half (½) acre and a minimum lot width of 100 <br />feet. The applicants' property is 0.49 acres and has a width of 60 feet. <br />3. The Plaiming Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing <br />held on September 20, 2004 and recommended approval of the renewal <br />variances for lot area, lot width and 250'-500' zone hardcover variance <br />based on the following findings: <br />a. The prope1iy is 0.49 acres in size when .50 acres is required. <br />b. The prope1iy has a lot width of 60 feet at the shoreline and 75' setback <br />when 100' is required. <br />c. Because the lot is being reviewed as a rebuild, the lot must confom1 to <br />cunent Zoning Ordinance standards or a hardship shall be presented. <br />d. Due to the configuration of the lot, minimal area exists in the 250' - <br />500' zone, hence a variance to allow excess hardcover for the <br />proposed detached garage is not reasonable. <br />e. Because of sight visibility problems on Casco Circle, a turnaround is <br />necessary to safely exit the drive. <br />4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings <br />and recommendation of the Planning Commission, repo1is by City staff, <br />comments by the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed <br />renewal variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. <br />Page 2 of 6
