NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File number 13-3605. 2. The Property is located in the LR-1A One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District which requires a minimum lot area of 2.0 acres and a minimum lot width of 200'. 3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on May 20, 2013 and voted 6 to 0 in favor on a motion to approve the setback variance for the deck based on the following findings: a. The Property contains 25,021 square feet (0.57 acres) in area and has a defined width of 199 feet. Page 1 of 4 � ti � O� O �� O CITY of ORONO � . � � RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL �' b � 02' �� G'�' NO. �9kEsHog'� b. The home on the Property was built in 1994; a rear yard setback variance allowing the home to be built at 30 feet from the rear lot line versus the required 50 feet was also granted in 1994. c. The deck will not encroach closer to the rear lot line than the existing home. d. There is a door on the upper level which currently has a code-minimum egress landing and stair. The deck will replace the minimal landing. e. The topography and existing vegetation screen the proposed deck from the neighbor to the rear. f. The Property will conform to the hardcover limitations of Tier 3. g. The Applicants' proposed deck will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood and will result in minimal or no negative impact on adjacent properties. 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. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the Applicant 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 variances 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.

Council approval is based on the survey 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. Proposed hardcover levels are conforming to the Tier 3 standards and no hardcover variances are granted. 3. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the property not with the Applicants, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the deck and commencing construction of said project. A footing inspection must be completed within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variances and conditional use permit will expire on that date (June 24, 2014). 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. 5. 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.
