. n <br /> .� .�� C�t o� ORONO <br /> �.�. �' . <br /> • C�'ll y�:^' RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> . � y NO. 2 812 <br /> • - • • <br /> � b) Hennepin County has given the applicant a verbal <br /> approval of the driveway layout proposed. <br /> c) The proposed garage and driveway location will <br /> leave adequate room for parking vehicles off the <br /> traveled roadway. <br /> d) Other possible garage configurations would require <br /> additional variances but provide less functional access <br /> to the garage. <br /> e) Because the adjacent property to the northeast is <br /> an outlot required to be maintained for lake access <br /> purposes for properties within the plat of Bayside <br /> Landing, this area which the applicant currently <br /> maintains appears visually a part of applicant's yard <br /> � area and reduces the impact of the additional structure <br /> • on visual density in the neighborhood. <br /> f) There is no excess hardcover on the property which <br /> can be feasibly removed to reduce the hardcover <br /> percentage on the property. There is no hardcover in <br /> the 0-75' zone. The extremely small size of the lot <br /> (approximately 8 , 000 square feet) and the fact that <br /> there is no additional land available to be purchased, <br /> are hardships to the property which help justify <br /> granting of the variances. <br /> 4. The City Council has considered this application <br /> including the findings and recommendations of the Planning <br /> Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant <br /> and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, <br /> . safety and welfare of the community. <br /> 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on <br /> this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally <br /> to other property in this zoning district; that granting the <br /> variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, <br /> light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to <br /> neighboring property; would not merely serve as a <br /> convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate <br /> a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to <br /> preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and <br /> • would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning <br /> Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> Page 2 of 4 . <br />
