t �`�; <br /> REQUEST FOR VARIANCES AT <br /> 1105 FERNDALE ROAD WEST FOR A NEW HOUSE <br /> 1. The existing house was constructed on the property in the late 1930's, or possibly <br /> just after World War II. It was probably constructed at a time when Orono had no � <br /> land use controls. In any event,the existing house is fundamentally too close to <br /> the lake. However, there is no other location on the property for a house. Since <br /> this house and land have been used as a single family residential property for over <br /> 50 years, variances are needed to permit the construction of a new house, <br /> notwithstanding the inability of a property to comply with all the current land use <br /> ordinance requirements. The existing house is a physically at the end of its useful <br /> � life, and is certainly obsolete by 2009 building code standards. <br /> 2. . The situation of the house has existed for over 50 years and was not created by the <br /> current owner. <br /> 3. The property is now a single family house property and will continue as a single <br /> family house property in the future with a new house. <br /> 4. Economic considerations are not controlling as the use of the property is now <br /> single family residential and will continue single family residential in the future. . <br /> 5. There is adequate access to sunlight. <br /> 6. The uses before and after will be consistent as single family residential. <br /> 7. The house will be used by a single family. <br /> 8. The small size of this lot, and its relation to the lake, is specific to this lot. The <br /> . small size pre-existed Orono's land use controls. <br /> 9. The size of the lot and its location close to Lake Minnetonka is unique to this <br /> property. . <br /> 10. Since the existing house is at the end of its useful life,as well as being obsolete by <br /> 2009 building code standards, the construction of a new dwelling on the existing <br /> foundation is essential to the preservation of the property as a viable single family <br /> use property. . <br /> 11. The granting of the variances will not impair health, safety, comfort or morals, or <br /> be contrary to the intent of the zoning code. <br /> 12. The variances are not ones of convenience, but ones of necessity to alleviate <br /> hardship caused by the current house being at the end of its useful life and the <br /> small house on the lot in close proximity to Lake Minnetonka. <br /> . ��C�.Ble� <br /> Doc#2931190\t ��R � �4 � <br /> �E`� ��` <br />
