NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1952. 2. The property is located in the LR-1C, Single Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. 3. Tlie Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on August 15, 1994, and�recommended approval of the proposed variance based upon the following . findings: • � Page 1 of 6 - • Fam 5005 oisN Orono o � � �' CITY of ORONO . O .,� O • �$�:e�=� RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL � r� ' ,�, � �� `���� ti No. 3 4 6 � I Y� � 1 f G ��k'EsBOg'� . A. In following up the hardcover stipulations of Resolution#3383 which also granted a side setback variance, the City determined that a gravel hardcover area in excess of the allowed amounts of hardcover existed near the garage but had not been accounted for in that review. The property owner has requested to keep said gravel area. B. Portions of the existing gravel areas provide a safe place for guests to ! park to keep their cars off the street. There is little room along the street for parking of additional cars. C. Due to the steep slope from the street to the yard level, replacing portions � of the gravel with grass or other landscape would make it impossible to _ access the yard. D. It is reasonable to allow an approximately 3' wide strip of gravel along the • rear of the garage for firewood storage requested by the applicant. i i E. The remainder of the gravel to the left side of the sidewalk and the rear � of the garage is not necessary for reasonable use of the property, contributes to excessive hardcover on the property, and should be reverted to nonhardcover grass area. i F. The gravel area to the right or east/southeast side of the sidewalk should be allowed to remain for the reasons noted above. The hardcover area between the sidewalk and the garage should be removed as it contributes to excessive hardcover on the property. G. All other hardcover originally proposed by the applicant to be removed in � landscape areas adjacent to the house should be removed. i 4. City staff have reviewed and corrected the hardcover calculations. Resolution #3383 allowed 3,106.4 s.f. of hardcover on the property behind the 75' setback • line. The Planning Commission recommendation noted above effectively allows 3,772 s.f. or an additional 666 s.f. above that amount approved in Resolution ; � . #3383. � Page 2 of 6 Form 5005 Disk Ororo , . � ��' � Y f O O O CIT o ORON • �,� �?��-� RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL � � ��'� ' ";' ' ,"' RA � �, y�� �, N0. � � � �� s, b, G,�, ��kEs�IOg'� 5. The City Council �nds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar � to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that � granting the variance 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 applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property - , right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. 6. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and ' recommendations of the Planning Comrriission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and � welfare of the community. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS � Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to Municipal Zoning Code Sections 10.22, Subdivision 2 and 10.56, Subdivision 16 (L) to permit an amendment of Resolution #3383 and permit the retention of excessive hardcover on the property, subject to the following conditions: 1. No hardcover is allowed in the 0-75' .zone. Hardcover in the 75-250' zone will be allowed at a level of 23.4% and in the 250-500' zone at a level of 56.4% per the calculations and site plan attached to this resolution as Exhibit A. 2. Prior to commencement/continuation of construction on the addition approved in � Resolution #3383, applicant shall remove those areas of hardcover not approved in condition 1 above, and shall convert the unapproved gravel hardcover area , behind the garage to nonhardcover grass. 3. Authorities granted by this variance run with the property not with the applicant, but are permissive only and must be exercised by application for a building � permit within one year of the date of Council approval, or this variance will expire on that date (August 22, 1995). 4. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this � resolution shall constitute a violation of the zoning code, shall automatically � • terminate any authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor.
