f ' . � c�t� o� oR,oNO . • RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL � NO. 2235 • - • • because of the need for costly urban services at denser development levels. 8. The applicant has demonstrated that septic systems can be suitably developed on the property. 9. The Council finds that development of the property will have no adverse impact on the environment and the lot size of 3.52 dry buildable acres is in excess of the 2.0 acre minimum lot size required to assuage the concerns of health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Orono. 10. The variance to 10.20 Subd. 3 (M) to allow two horses to be kept on the property of area 3.52 acres where normally 4.0 acres of dry land is reguired for the keeping of 2 horses, is justified by the fact that during dry seasons, a portion of the designated wetland may be suitable for use as pasture area, supported by � applicant's proposal to stable the horses so that they will not need to rely solely on pasture for feeding. 11. The variance to Section 10.03 Subd. 9(D) to allow the construction of an accessory barn structure within the area between the house and the front lot line is justified by the fact that the proposed house location is abutting the 100' rear setback line, and the barn is proposed to be 400' from the front lot line, 75' from the nearest residential lot line, and over 150' from the nearest residence. The proposed location of the house, septic system, and driveway and required 75' barn setback from all lot lines would preclude the barn being constructed within a side or rear yard area. 12. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variance 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 demonstrable 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. 13. The City Council finds that granting a Conditional Use Permit • to allow the driveway within the 26' wetland setback zone will not be detrimenta 1 to the hea 1 th, saf ety or genera 1 we 1 f are of the public, would not adversely affect light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring properties, nor will it depreciate surrounding property values and that the proposed level Page 3 of 6
