This application was reviewed as Zoning File #LA21-000020. 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. 2. The Property is located in the RR -1A Zoning District. 3. The Property contains 0.64 acres in area and has a defined lot width of 73' feet. 4. The Property is within the "exempt" tier according to the Stormwater Quality Overlay District. 5. Applicant has applied for the following variance[s]: a. Front yard setback b. Side yard setbacks c. Lot area d. Lot width 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. "The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance. The applicant is proposing to construct a new single family home on a residential lot which is consistent with the intent of the ordinance. The lot width and lot area variances are necessary to improve this existing substandard lot. The side yard and front yard setback variance request is reasonable considering buildable area of the property. 2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The variances resulting in a permit for a new single family residence in a residential zone are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 3. The applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties. a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the official controls; The applicant is proposing to use the property in a reasonable CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7 1 8 b manner with the construction of a single family home. There is limited space to construct a conforming building on the site. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; The plight of the property owner is due to the existing substandard lot area and width, and The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The character of the neighborhood is not likely to be significantly altered by construction of the residence. 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 a single family home is an allowed use in the RR -1A 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 size and width of the lot within the RR -1A zoning district is unique, and supports approval of the requested lot width, lot area and setback variances. 9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located. The size of the lot is unique within the existing 5 -acre zoning district. 10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. The applicant stated this is true. 11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in anyway impair health, safety, comfort or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter. Granting of the requested variances would not impair health, safety, comfort or morals and would be in keeping with the intent of the zoning code, 12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. The applicant has stated the narrow lot results in setback challenges for construction of a single family home. The property is unique in size for this zoning district.
