A RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCES TO MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE SECTION 78-420 SUBDIVISION B FILE NO. 04-2972 WHEREAS, Robert F. Knuth and Mary L.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File#04-2972. 2. The property is located in the RR-1B Single Family Rural Residential District, which requires minimum setbacks of 50' from the front property line and 50' from side-street property line. 3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on January 20, 2004 and unanimously recommended approval of the variances based on the following findings: a. The existing home is situated at the front setback hindering the ability to construct a covered entrance without variances; the location of the alternate septic system treatment area further restricts suitable locations for a covered porch. Page 1 of 5 P Q OCITYofORONO IA /, .1 i ' ,., p RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL Mri. 1g4 NO. 11 n ,-I kES�IO b. The other closest neighboring, properties on White Oak Circle have greater front and side yard setbacks than that which is required by City Code. c. The property owners who would be most affected have submitted letters of support for this project. d. The road right-of-way along the western property line is currently and indefinitely not used as a traveled road. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 5. The City Council finds 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 applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the 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 variances to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-420 Subdivision B to allow construction of a covered porch 45' from the front property line and 35' from the side street property line where 50' setbacks are required respectively, subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the site plan submitted by the applicants and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A. Any amendments to the site plan which are not in conformity with City codes will require further Planning Commission and City Council review. 2. The front porch with pergola shall not be enclosed.
