The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on October 19, 1998 <br /> and recommended approval by a vote of 5 to 0. <br /> 4. The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact: <br /> A. The lot is very wide and narrow, resulting in most of the lot being within <br /> 75' of Lake Minnetonka. <br /> B. The replacement deck would have the same footprint as the existing <br /> deck. <br /> C. A variance was granted by the City Council to construct the residence 27' <br /> from the front lot line. <br /> D. Removal of underlain plastic hardcover would remove 556 s.f. of <br /> additional hardcover from the property. <br /> 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar <br /> to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that <br /> granting the variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor <br /> pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely <br /> serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a <br /> demonstrable hazdship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial <br /> property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and <br /> intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> 6. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br /> recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br /> by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety <br /> and welfare of the community. <br /> CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br /> Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby <br /> grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subd. 1 (B) to permit the <br /> replacement of a residential deck 63' from the lakeshore where 7�' is required; Section 10.22. <br /> Subd. 2 and Section 10.56, Subd. 16 (L) (1) to permit 821 s.f.
