The property is approximately 37,868 s.f. or .87 acres in area. The B-1 Zoning District requires 20,000 s.f. in area. 4. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on June 15, 1987, and recommended approval of� the proposed conditional use permit, variances and the commercial site plan and building plan per drawings by Jack Welsh and Associates. The Planning Commission approved the variances to the required side/street setback of 35 feet based on the following hardships: a) The narrow shape of the lot at the northwest corner of the property; � b) The Hennepin County Department of Transportation has asked • for additional right-of-way along the lot lines of this severely limited corner of the property; c) The location of the existing service station/garage on the property; • And approved a parking stall variance of 3 stalls where 26 are required based on the following findings: a) Ten additional parking stalls are available at gas dispensing aisles for quick sales - convenience store customers; b) Four , additional stalls are available for cars served within service bay area of service garage. 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this pro- perty are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring properties; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demon- strable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. , 6.
