Corness and Barbara G. Corness, a married couple (hereinafter"the Applicants") are the owners of the property located at 4395 North Shore Drive within the City of Orono (hereinafter the "City") and legally described as: Lots 3, 4 and the west '/Z of Lot 5, Block 18, Saga Hill Revised (hereinafter the "Property"); and WHEREAS, the Applicants have made application to the City of Orono for a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1680 to allow 222.5 square feet hardcover where 80.4 square feet currently exists in conjunction with construction of a new, meandering lake access stair with retaining walls within 75 feet of the OWHL of Lake Minnetonka; and WHEREAS, the Applicants have made application to the City of Orono for variances from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-1279 and 78-1282 to allow construction of a new, meandering lake access stair with retaining walls within 75 feet of the OWHL of Lake Minnetonka to replace an existing above grade minimal stair; and WHEREAS, the Applicants have made application to the City of Orono for a conditional use permit (hereinafter the "CUP") pursuant to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-966 to allow grading for construction of new retaining walls and stair system and landscape plantings in conjunction with removal of buckthorn and the existing stairs within the 75-foot setback on the Property; and WHEREAS, after due published notice and mailed notice in accordance with Minnesota Statutes and the Orono, Minnesota, City Code, a public hearing was held by the Orono Planning Commission on July 15, 2013 at which times all persons desiring to be heard concerning this application were given the opportunity to speak thereon. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File number 13-3612. Page 1 of 5 � o� � 0 > , � CITY of ORONO �� . '� � "' � RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL ",� }�� cS �' G�' NO. _ 6 ;�p 7 ��kESHo�'� 2. The Property is located in the LR-1 B 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 July 15, 2013 and voted 5 for and 0 against on a motion to approve the CUP 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 61,329 square feet in area and has a defined width of 162-feet at the lake and 162-feet at the 75-foot setback. b. A new residence home on the Property is currently under construction. c. The Applicants' proposed landscape plan and stair system have been designed in a way which offers screening of the stairs with a natural-looking slope as viewed from the lake. d. With a total of 13% overall hardcover, the Property will conform to the hardcover limitations of a Tier 1 lot. e. The Applicants' proposed stair system, walls and landscaping will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood and will result in minimal or no negative impact on adjacent properties. f. 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 and landscape screening offered. g. The Applicants' request is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the ordinance. h. The Applicants have demonstrated that enforcing the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance deprives the Applicants of the reasonable use of their Property. i. 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. Page 2 of 5 , • . � O� . O � O CITY of ORONO � RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL �'� ~'� NO. � 7 G 0 �9x'EsHOg'� j. The Applicants have provided a landscape plan which will serve to screen and mitigate views of the retaining walls and stairs from the lake in a natural manner. 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 222.5 square feet hardcover where 80.4 square feet currently exists; variances from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-1279 and 78-1282 to allow construction of a new, meandering lake access stair with retaining walls to replace an existing above grade minimal stair; and a CUP pursuant to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-966 to allow grading in conjunction with construction of a new, meandering lake access stair with retaining walls within 75 feet of the OWHL of Lake Minnetonka and removal of buckthorn and the existing stairs within the 75-foot setback on the Property; subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the survey, stair plan and landscape plan submitted by the Applicants and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A, B & C. Any amendments to the approved survey/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 1 standards; no hardcover variances are granted. Structural coverage limitations will also be met. 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 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 (August 12, 2014).
