This application was reviewed as Zoning File#03-2887. <br /> 2. The property is located in the LR-1B Zoning District,where 1 acre is the minimum <br /> required lot area. The property consists of approximately 0.19 acres. <br /> 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on April 21, 2003 <br /> and recommended partial conditional approval by a vote of 7 to 0. <br /> 4. The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact: <br /> A. The lot was platted in 1888,prior to the adoption of the current zoning <br /> ordinance and requirements for bluffs; <br /> B. The 8,172 s.f. (0.19 acre) lot with a 50' width does not meet the minimum lot <br /> area(43,560 s.f. or 1 acre)nor lot width(140')requirements for the district; <br /> C. The property contains an existing home and detached garage; <br /> D. Due to the size of the lot, it would be difficult to construct a home meeting all <br /> setback requirements or that did not exceed the required hardcover in the 75' <br /> to 250' setback zone; ' <br /> E. The existing detached garage and concrete driveway pad located within <br /> Hennepin County's right of way will be removed with this application; <br /> F. Completely avoiding impacts to the bluff would severely limit the size of the <br /> house on the lot. The proposal minimally impacts the bluff; and <br /> G. There is no hardship to support the proposed 10' setback from the side lot line <br /> or structural coverage in excess of 1,500 s.f. Therefore, the proposed home <br /> must be located no closer than the required 10' setback from the side lot lines <br /> and should be limited to no more than 1,500 s.f of lot coverage. <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br />
