CITY of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. <br />WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the application, the reports of the City <br />staff, the comments of the Planning Commission, and comments and written statements submitted <br />by the applicant. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Orono, <br />Minnesota, hereby denies the conditional use permit application as described above based on one <br />or more of the following findings of fact concerning this property and application: <br />FINDINGS <br />1. This property is located in the LR-lC, One Family Lakeshore Residential District <br />and consists of22,420 s.f. or .51 acres where a minimum of (1/2) one-half acre is <br />required. <br />2. The subject property received multiple variances on March 10, 1997, for average <br />lakeshore setback, hardcover in the 75'-250' and 250'-500' setback and structural <br />coverage as set forth in Resolution #3 851. <br />3. The subject lot does not meet the minimum lot width requirements for the LR-lC <br />Zoning District. The minimum lot width requirement is 100' measured at the 30' <br />street yard setback. The subject property lot width at the 30' setback is <br />approximately 57'. <br />4. The Planning Commission voted to deny the application as proposed based on the <br />following findings: <br />A There are alternative design options for locating the garage and driveway that <br />do not require a conditional use permit. <br />B. The Commission has heard testimony from adjacent property owners and the <br />neighborhood regarding adverse impact. <br />5. In review of the factual findings noted above, the Council finds that granting a <br />conditional use permit to allow grading within 5' of the property line is not in <br />accordance with the objective of the Zoning Code and the Comprehensive Municipal <br />Plan. <br />Page 2 of3
