�°moo <br /> CITY OF ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> N O. <br /> 6638 <br /> $ESHOR <br /> meet the RR-1B District setback standards. This is not the case throughout much of <br /> the RR-1B District, but Minnetonka Bluffs is a neighborhood created long before the <br /> RR-1B zoning standards were in effect. <br /> B9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which <br /> the land is located." The standards applicable to this property apply to all other <br /> property in the RR-1B District; however, the Minnetonka Bluffs neighborhood <br /> contains many homes which do not meet the RR-1B standards due to the existing lot <br /> sizes. <br /> B10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a <br /> substantial property right of the applicant." Granting of the lot area, lot width and <br /> setback variances is necessary to preserve the property rights of the owner to build a <br /> new residence on the property. Similarly, in order to construct a residence consistent <br /> with the size and quality of other new homes in the neighborhood, setback variances <br /> are necessary. <br /> B 11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort <br /> or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter." Granting of <br /> the area, width, setback and lot coverage variances would not impair health, safety, <br /> comfort or morals and would be in keeping with the intent of the zoning code. <br /> B12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant,but <br /> is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." Granting of the area and width <br /> variances is necessary to solve an obvious practical difficulty. Granting of some <br /> magnitude of setback variances is also necessary in order to allow construction of a <br /> home that is commensurate with the surrounding neighborhood, which contains a <br /> wide variety of homes in terms of size, shape, etc. The magnitude of the setback <br /> variances requested is a function of the lot shape, topography, and desired home style <br /> and orientation. <br /> CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br /> Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants <br /> variances to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-420 in order to allow the construction of <br /> a new single family residence on a lot 13,533 s.f. in area where 87,120 s.f. lot area is normally <br /> required; on a lot 100 feet in defined width where a width of 200 feet is normally required; with <br /> a front street setback of 30 feet where a 50-foot front setback is normally required; with a side <br /> setback of 13.9 feet where a 30-foot setback is normally required; with a side street setback of <br /> Page 5 of 7 <br />
