r�� � O� O O � � CITY of ORONO ti �� G~' RESOLUTION OFCT�yE-:�`F�Y COUNCIL `�k,EggO�' NO. J d I � WHEREAS, on April 23, 2007, the City Council heard testimony from the Owners, their representative, and City Staff regarding the situation. NOW, THEREFORE, SE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDING5 1. The proj ect should now be categorized as a"rebuild"rather than an"addition". 2. The property is located in the LR-1C zoning district, where 0.5 acre is the minimum lot area and 100 feet is the minimum lot width. The property is 0.22 acre in area, 92 feet in width and 90 to 110 feet in depth. Because of the size and shape of the lot it would be virtually impossible to construct a house on the lot without lakeshore and street setback variances and hardcover variances. 3. While the existing perimeter foundation is supported by pilings and grade beams, it will be possible to add needed additional pilings to the existing foundation system rather than replacing it. The additional course of block will facilitate proper drainage away from the foundation. 4. This property and others are served by a private roadway that also provides the only access for emergency vehicles. The new garage will be placed so ths width of the private roadway/fire lane at its narrowest point is increased from 15.2 feet to 18 feet. 5. The second story will resemble a half-story. Viewed from the lake the remodeled house will have less mass than a new 2%z story house constructed without a lot coverage variance. The portion of the house that encroaches on the average lakeshore setback will be changed from an enclosed room to an open porch. 6. The Owners intend to build the house as approved by Resolution No. 5570 adding only a course of block to the existing foundation. Page 2 of 3
