NOW,THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED bythe City Council of Orono,Minnesota: FINDINGS � 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File#04-3009. 2. The property is located in the LR-1C Lakeshore Residential Zoning District,which requires a minimum lot area of 0.50 acres and minimum lot width of 100'.

The Planning Commission reviewed this application at public hearings held on May 17, 2004 and June 21,2004 and recommended approval ofthe lot area variance based on the following findings: a) The property contains an existing residence structure and detached garage,which will be removed by the applicants in order to construct a new residence on the property. b) The property is provided with municipal sewer. c) The lot area of 0.3 9 acres is sufficient to allow reconstruction on the site,where a residence has previously existed for many years,without the need for setback or lot coverage variances. . d) There is no land available for acquisition by the applicants to bring the lot into conformity. 4. The Plaluiing Commission sunilarlyrecommended approval ofthe hardcover variance based on the following findings: a) The proposed residence will meet all setback,average lakeshore setback and lot coverage by stxuctures requirements of the Zoning Code. b) The lot shape is not optimum for a lakeshore lot of 0.39 acres. The degree of hardship supported by the lot shape is calculated as follows: 17,060 sf/250'=68.2'=optimum width for 75-250'Hardcover 68.2'x 175'=11,935 sf x.25=2,984 sf-2,695 sf=289 sf variance due to lot shape c) There is an inherent need for a backup apron to allow forward vehicle movement onto Shadywood Road,as Shadywood is a CouniyRoad with substantial traffic which would make it dangerous to back out. The applicants have proposed a minimal driveway and backup apron meeting the City's minimum dimension standards for such features while allowing for sufficient off-street parking on the site. - i Page 2 of 6 . } � � O _ I • O >= O � -. ; � CITY of ORONO ti ti RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL �L�kES�I�g'�G NO. � � � � d) The hardcover level of 33%in the 75-250'zone is further justifiedbythe location neaz the lake of the iwo adj acent homes. Moving the proposed residence nearer the street to reduce the necessary driveway hardcover would cause a hardship . because it would result in loss of lake views bythe applicants,and wouldpose a future hardship for the adj oining homes by increasing their degree ofnonconfoimity • to the average setback rule. - 5. The City Council has considered this application,including the recommendations and findings of the Planning Commission,reports by City sta�comments by the applicants and the public,and the effect ofthe proposed variances on the health,safety and welfare of the community. 6. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this properiyare peculiarto it and do not apply generallyto other property in this zoning district;that granting the variances � would not adversely affect traffic conditions,light,air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property;would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessaryto alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty;is necessary to preserve a substantialpropertyright ofthe applicants;andwouldbe inkeepingwiththe spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings,the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-350 to allow consiruction of a new residence to replace a pre-existing residence on a lot 0.39 acre in area within the LR-1 C Zoning District where a 0.50 acre minimum 1ot area is required;and a variance to Section 78-1288 to a11ow hardcover in the 75-250' zone at a level of 33.0% (3,557 s.f.)where only 25%hardcover is normally allowed, subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the site plan and hardcover calculations submitted bythe applicants and annotated by City staff,attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A. Any amendments to the site � plan which are not in confomuty with City codes will require furthe�Plaiuiiiig Commission and City Council review. No hardcover is approved for the 0-75'zone. • Page 3 of 6 � °� • o �. ° - g C ITY of ORONO ,� . , . � , ti ti RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL ��`9kESI�04�G NO. � `� � � 2.
