. � �-��o <br /> C ITY O�F ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> y`�I ~ N O. � � I� �': <br /> G <br /> �kESH��� <br /> A2. The Property is located within the RR-1B Single Family Rural Residential District which <br /> requires a minimum lot area of 2.0 acres and a minimum lot width of 200' for <br /> construction of a single family residence. <br /> A3. The Property is 1.89 acres in area, being approximately 190 feet in defined width at the <br /> OHWL of Dickey Lake as well as at the 150' lakeshare setback line, and contains an <br /> existing single family residence. The property is considered as legally nonconforming <br /> with regard to lot area and lot width. <br /> A4. The property is located within Storm Water Overlay District Tier 1 which allows 25% <br /> hardcover. The proposed additions increase the hardcover on the property from 12.9% to <br /> 17.3%, still well below the maximum hardcover allowance. <br /> A5. The Applicants propose to remodel the existing residence and construct a new garage <br /> addition. This is a lakeshore lot on Dickey Lake and because the existing residence <br /> structure on the adjacent lakeshore lot to the south is very near Brown Road, the <br /> Applicants' existing home and proposed additions are lakeward of the defined average <br /> lakeshore setback line. The property is nearly 2 acres in area, and both the existing home <br /> and proposed additions meet all other setback, hardcover and structural coverage <br /> requirements, including the required 150' setback from the OHWL of Dickey Lake. <br /> A6. The location of the Applicants' existing residence is conforming to the zoning standards <br /> of the RR-1B Rural Residential District. However, the Shoreland Overlay District <br /> regulations regarding average lakeshore setback are impossible to meet for constructing <br /> additions to Applicants' home. The adjacent residence structure on the lakeshore lot to <br /> the immediate south is located less than 15 feet from the Brown Road right-of-way where <br /> a 50' setback would normally be required. That adjacent home is one of the original <br /> farmhouses in the Dickey Lake area and has been at this location for many decades. If <br /> that residence was setback the minimum 150' from the OHWL of Dickey Lake, <br /> Applicants would not need an average setback variance. Additionally, due to 1) the <br /> curvature of the lakeshore; 2) the location of the additions; and 3) the substantial amount <br /> of vegetative screening along applicants' south lot line, the neighboring property's <br /> existing lake views would appear to not be impacted by Applicants' proposed <br /> improvements. <br /> A7. While the roof design over the existing house may be changing slightly, Applicants are <br /> not adding a second story. The proposed attached garage will have some low-headroom <br /> storage above but will not constitute a story. Based on granting of the average setback <br /> for the additions and remodeling, if the Applicants ultimately determined they need to do <br /> a complete teardown, this variance would allow them to rebuild per the approved plans <br /> without additional Council action. <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br />
