ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR AUGUST 9, 1999 • ( #2410 Peter and Darsi Boynton, Continued) Weinberger stated a variance is needed to the lakeshore setback to'allow the residence to be located 47.59 feet from the OWHL of Lake Minnetonka where 75' is required and 21.01' from the street lot line where 30` is .required. The Applicants are proposing to reduce the hardcover in the 0 -75' Lakeshore to 11 percent where currently 22 percent exists. Under City Codes, no hardcover is allowed in the 0 -75' setback. The Planning Commission has recommended denial of the Conditional Use Permit to permit grading within 75' of the lakeshore, but is recommending approval of the variances as proposed on this most recent revised plan due to a hardship based on the uniqueness of the lot. Boynton stated that they have worked hard to revise their plan in an effort to meet the recommendations of the Planning Commission.
