This is not the case throughout much f the RR-1B'District, but Minnetonka Bluffs is a neighborhood created long before t�e RR-1B zon�ng standards were in effect. �'�, i B9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in whi the land is Xocated." The standards applicable to tlus property apply to all oth property in the RR 1B District; however, the Minnetonka Bluffs neighborho contains many homes which do not meet the RR-1B standards due to the existing lo sizes.

Similarly, in order to construct� residence consistent, with the size �and quality of other new homes in the neighborhood, setback variances�', are necessary. B11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort �'��, or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter." Granting of ��i the area, widt.�, setback and lot coverage variances would not impair health, safety, �',, comfort or moXals and would be in keeping with the intent of the zoning code. B 12. "'The granting o�such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant,but �'�� is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." Granting of the area and width '', variances is n�cessary to solve an obvious practical difficulty. Granting of some �'� magnitude of s�tback variances is also necessary in order to allow construction of a �i home that is cqmmensurate with the surrounding neighborhood, which contains a '� wide variety of'homes in terms of size, shape, etc. The magnitude of the setback li variances reque$ted is a function of the lot shape,topography, and desired home style '�, and orientation. . �'�I �'i � C(!JNCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS � Based upon one dr more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants �, variances to Orono MuniGipal Zoning Code Section 78-420 in order to allow the construction of I a new single family resid�nce on a lot 13,533 s.f. in area where 87,120 s.f. lot area is normally '�� required; on a lot 100 feet in defined width where a width of 200 feet is normally required; with �'I a front street setback of 30 feet where a 50-foot front setback is normally required; with a side setback of 13.9 feet where a 30-foot setback is normally required; with a side street setback of � 'I Page 5 of 7 �
