If <br /> O <br /> O O CITY of ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> NO. <br /> Y <br /> xESBpg <br /> WHEREAS, a private cul-de-sac has been dedicated on the plats of Lauranne <br /> Woods and Janet Acres and the City has suitable underlying road and utilities easements such <br /> that no additional private/public roadway dedication is necessary; and <br /> WHEREAS, Lot 1 is considered to be a nonriparian lot and shall have no legal <br /> riparian access to Lydiard Lake via easement or any other method. The granting of such <br /> easement would be a direct violation of Municipal Code Section 11.31, Subd. 4; and <br /> WHEREAS, Lot 2 is considered as riparian to Lydiard Lake; and <br /> WHEREAS, the grading and draining plans submitted by the applicant for <br /> construction of a future driveway to serve Lot 2 have been accepted with minor modifications <br /> by the City Engineer. The driveway has been designed in detail to eliminate the negative <br /> impacts of driveway construction on the property to the south. As a result, existing and future <br /> drainage from the applicant's property shall be redirected away from the neighboring property; <br /> and <br /> WHEREAS, both Lots 1 and 2 contain adequate primary and alternate drainfield <br /> sites to serve the intended use, and sites on both lots have been adequately protected from <br /> drainage concerns; and <br /> WHEREAS, lot lines have been located so that existing residence and accessory <br /> structures on Lot 1 meet required lot line setbacks, and the building envelope within Lot 2 is <br /> adequate for development of a single family residence; and <br /> WHEREAS, Lot 2 contains a wetland area located between the OHW and the <br /> open water shoreline of Lydiard Lake. A Flowage and Conservation Easement encompassing <br /> that wetland area is currently in effect as granted with the underlying plat of Brooks Green in <br /> 1980; and <br /> WHEREAS, while technically a hardcover variance in the 250-500' hardcover <br /> zone is required to allow Lot 2's driveway to cover approximately 509 of the 250-500' zone, <br /> the need for a hardcover variance can be effectively eliminated by reducing the allowed square <br /> footage of hardcover in the 75-250' zone by the square footage of excess hardcover in the 250- <br /> 500' zone. The area of the 250-500' zone is 1,920 s.f. Proposed driveway is 1,100 s.f. in that <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br /> F=5W5 Oink OMW <br />
