The average width of the <br /> 21 developed lakeshore lots within 1000'either side of Lot 7 is approximately 80-90', <br /> nearly double the 50'width of Lot 7. While developed lots in the neighborhood on <br /> average fall short of the area and width standards of the LR-1B district,the area and <br /> width of Lot 7 are extremely substandard when compared to the neighborhood <br /> average, disregazding the LR-1B standards. <br /> d) "Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if <br /> reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of this (the Zoning) <br /> Chapter". Since reasonable use for this property does exist, and since that use has <br /> been enjoyed by this and prior property owners for the past 30 years or more, <br /> economic considerations are not a valid hardship in this application. <br /> 16. The Council finds that granting of the application is not necessary for the preservation and <br /> enjoyment of a substantial property right of the owner. Granting of the proposed variance <br /> would be contrary to the intent of the zoning code,because it would allow for development <br /> density not in keeping with the intent of the LR-1 B District. The granting of the requested <br /> variances would merely serve as a convenience to the applicant,and no undue hardship has <br /> been demonstrated that would support the variance request. <br /> FURTHER, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of Orono, Minnesota hereby <br /> approves the request of the applicant for a variance to Zoning Code Section 10.03 Subd. 9(A) to <br /> allow Special Lot Combination to allow for the permanent use of Lot 7 for lake access for 1169 <br /> North Arm Drive, including the ability to construct a dock on Lot 7 without a principal structure, <br /> based on the following findings: <br /> A. Undue hardship exists because, without the continued ability to use Lot 7 for <br /> lake access as it has been used for the past 30 years or longer, the property owner <br /> would be denied a substantial property right and would be denied reasonable use of <br /> the property as it has historically been used. <br /> B. The close proximity of Lot 7 to 1169 North Arm Drive will allow for the owner to <br /> provide reasonable security for the dock facilities on Lot 7, thereby alleviating the <br /> Page 6 of 7 <br /> i <br />
