NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File 14-3695. 2. The property is located in the LR-lA Lakeshore Residential Zoning District which requires a minimum lot area of 2.0 acres and a minimum lot width of 200'. 3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on October 20, 2014 and on a vote of 7 — 0 recommended approval based on its determination that the findings of Resolution No. 5872 remain valid, reiterated here as follows: a. Approval of the variances based on the following findings: i. The property contains 55,410 s.f. or 1.27 acre in area and contains 176' in width at the OHWL and 174' in width at the 75' setback from the OHWL. ii. The lot is a legal lot of record created prior to adoption of the current Zoning Ordinance lot area and width requirements. iii. The 75' setback from the OHWL of the lake is applied on two sides of the property due to the existence of the lagoon. iv. The existence of the 100-year floodplain on the property creates increased difficulties in locating a conforming building location. The new house will be properly elevated out of the floodplain. v. The proposal, at 8% structural coverage, will not exceed the structural lot coverage limitation of 15%. Page 2 of 6
