CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7 1 3 7 A RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE FROM MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE SECTION 78-1279 FILE NO. LA20-000066 WHEREAS, on September 29, 2020, Marty Sarenpa ("Applicant"), applied for a variance from the City Code for the property addressed 1101 North Arm Drive and legally described as: Lot 1, including the adjoining part of the street on the North, no vacated, and all of Lots 2 and 3, and the North 1/2 of that part of West Point Avenue heretofore vacated, in all Skarp and Linguist's Fernhill, Lake Minnetonka, Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter the"Property"); WHEREAS, the Applicants have made application to the City of Orono for a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1279 to allow for an average lakeshore setback; and WHEREAS, on October 19, 2020, after published and mailed notice in accordance with Minnesota Statutes and the City Code, the Planning Commission held a public hearing, at which time all persons desiring to be heard concerning this application were given the opportunity to speak thereon; and WHEREAS, on October 19, 2020, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the variance; and WHEREAS, on November 9, 2020, the City Council reviewed the application and the recommendations of the Planning Commission and City staff; and NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Orono, Minnesota hereby approves the requested variance as described above based on one or more of the following findings of fact concerning the Property: FINDINGS OF FACT: 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #LA20-000066. The analysis contained within staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid memos, all minutes from the above mentioned meetings, and any and all other materials distributed at these meetings are hereby incorporated by reference. -OA/p CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL s� NO. 7 1 3 7 G r-kESIN H0' 2. The Property is located in the LR-1 B Zoning District. 3. The Property contains 1 acre in area and has a defined lot width of 170' feet. 4. The Property is within Tier 1 and hardcover is limited to 25 % according to the Stormwater Quality Overlay District. 5. Applicant has applied for the following variance: a. Average Lakeshore Setback 6. In considering this application for variance, the Council has considered the advice and recommendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed variance upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding area. ANALYSIS: 1. "Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance . . . ." The proposed location of the home addition does not block lake views of the adjacent property owners, and therefore is harmonious with the intent of the Ordinance. 2. "Variances shall only be permitted . . . when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan." The average lakeshore setback variance is consistent with the goals in the comprehensive plan to protect lake views. 3. "Variances may be granted when the applicant for the variance establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. `Practical difficulties,' as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that: a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the official controls;The variance requests are residential in nature and are reasonable considering the current location of the home. b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; The location of the structures on the property and configuration of the lot were not created by the property owner. The current home is roughly 100 years old and c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The visual impacts resulting from the additions proposed within the average lakeshore setback will not alter the character of the neighborhood. Rather, the home will not impact views from the lake nor will it appear to be more visually obtrusive than the existing buildings on the property. 2 �-O�p CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OFTHE CITYCOUNCIL y� NO. / 1 3 1 G ` N. '/QsHOQ" 4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Economic considerations have not been a factor in the variance approval determination. 5. Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter 78. This condition is not applicable. 6. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located. This condition is not applicable, as the use for a residential home is an allowed conditional use in the LR-1B District. 7. The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling. This condition is not applicable. 8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property. The home currently sits within the setback and the addition is not going to change the setback from the lake. 9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located. The proposed addition will not change the current setbacks from the lake and meets all other zoning setback requirements. The location of the existing home is unique. 10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. The existing home can be re-built in kind, the proposed addition is necessary to permit the property owners continued enjoyment of their property. The addition is located in a location which serves the intent and goals of the ordinance by minimizing visual impacts to the lake. 11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter. The proposed project will not impair the health, safety, comfort, or morals of the public. 12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. Granting of the variance will resolve and alleviate a demonstrated practical difficulty. 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 78-1279 to allow an average lakeshore setback, subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings. 3 -OAT CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL y`'`‘e NO. _ '1!1! 3 7 G t"9kt:s H ops 2.
