NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File number 13-3623. Page 1 of 5 r •VV 0 41* O? O CITY of ORONO A `,0 � e ' ' RESOLUTION OF THE ITY COUNCIL ►^\)+�Mi, as. NO. kESH04 2. The Property is located in the LR-1B One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District which requires a minimum lot area of 1.0 acre and a minimum lot width of 140'. 3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on October 21, 2013 and voted 7 for and 0 against on a motion to approve the CUP for grading and the hardcover variance. The Planning Commission finds that the following factors support the granting of the requested variance and CUP: a. The Property contains 30,378 square feet in area (0.70 acre) and has a defined width of 193-feet at the lake and 147-feet at the 75-foot setback. b. The home on the Property was constructed in 2007. c. The Applicants have proposed to remove an existing stair which encroaches into the adjacent undeveloped City right-of-way. d. The Applicants' proposed stair system has been designed in a way which offers screening of the stairs with a natural-looking slope as viewed from the lake. e. With a total of 19% overall hardcover, the Property will conform to the hardcover limitations of 25% for a Tier 1 lot. Structural coverage limitations will also be met. f. The Applicants' proposed stair system and grading will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood and will result in minimal or no negative impact on adjacent properties. g. The Applicants' project will not adversely impact views of the lake currently enjoyed by the adjacent properties; views of the Property from the lake will be improved with the new stair. h. The Applicants' request is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the ordinance. i. The Applicants have demonstrated that enforcing the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance deprives the Applicants of the reasonable use of their Property. j. The proposed grading within the 75-foot setback area will not have an adverse impact on surrounding lands. Drainage patterns for runoff leaving the site will not be significantly altered. The approved grading plan has been Page 2 of 5 OA O CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF T E CITY COUNCIL ��kESHOgS designed to address the Applicants' drainage issues and does not adversely impact the natural character of the lakeshore. 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 and CUP 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 and CUP 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 practical 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 a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1680 to allow 209 square feet hardcover for a new lake access stair within 75' of the OHWL; variances from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-1279 and 78-1282 to allow construction of a new lake access stair Minnetonka to replace an existing stair which encroaches into the adjacent undeveloped City right-of-way; and a CUP pursuant to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-966 to allow grading within 75' of the OWHL of Lake Minnetonka for construction of the new stair system and grading and to correct a drainage issue next to the existing home on the Property; subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the survey/grading plan and stair plan submitted by the Applicants and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A & B. Any amendments to the approved plans which are not in conformity with City codes will require further Planning Commission and City Council review. 2. Proposed hardcover levels are conforming to the Tier 1 standards; no hardcover variances are granted. 3. An administrative Zoning Permit for Major Land Alteration is required and shall be obtained by the Applicants prior to the commencement of grading activities. 4. The Owner shall conform to the recommendations of the City Engineer. Page 3 of 5 O O CITY of ORONO +� ` r bz �► RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL `►�I���� n C.) NO. 6 4_, 0:11,0*, - 5. A double row of silt fencing shall be placed and maintained between the lakeward extent of the grading activity and the lake. 6. The amount of fill brought onto the Property shall be monitored so as to ensure compliance with the approved grading plan. 7. The Applicants shall submit an escrow in the amount to be determined by the City Engineer for erosion control purposes with the application for Zoning Permit for Major Land Alteration prior to commencement of grading activities. 8. Copies of Minnehaha Creek Watershed permits, if required, shall be provided to the City prior to the issuance of the Zoning Permit for Major Land Alteration. 9. An as-built.grading plan/survey showing conformance with the approved plan shall be submitted prior to the final inspection of the site grading. Vegetation must be established and final grading must be approved prior to the release of escrow monies. 10. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the Applicants, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a permit for the walls and stairs and commencing construction of said project within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variance and CUP will expire on that date (November 12, 2014). 11. 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. 12. The undersigned Applicants have read, understand and hereby agree to the terms of this resolution and on behalf of the Applicants and the Applicants' heirs, successors and assigns, hereby agree to the recording of this resolution in the chain of title of the Property. Adopted by the Orono City Council on the 12`h day of November, 2013.
