NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: Page 1 of 5 . � °� � O , O CITY of ORONO ,�'a, - � � RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL �� '� ' �,� No. 6 � 1� 1 ��kESH�4'� FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File numbers 13-3593 and 13-3594. 2. The Property is located in the LR-1A One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District �vhich requires a minimum lot area of 2.0 acres and a minimum lot width of 200'. 3. The Pla�nning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on Februar� 19, 2013 and recommended approval of the variance and conditional use perrnit based on the following findings: a. The property contains 312,361 square feet in area and has t600-feet in width. b. The Applicant's home was constructed in approximately 1920 and prior to the con"truction of the homes on the adjacent lots. c. The Council finds that the plumbing fixtures proposed are in keeping with the interided use of the Pool Cabana. d. The Pool Cabana is conforming in location, size and height. e. The Applicant agrees to the filing of a covenant in the title of the Property providing that the Pool Cabana will not be used for a home occupation unless spec:ifically approved by the city or if allowed by this Code; used as a dwelling unless a guest house conditional use permit is obtained; and will not be rent�:d, leased or otherwise provided for use as a dwelling under any circumstances. f. The Applicant's request will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood and will result in minimal negative impact on adjacent properties. g. The proposed pool will be located on the east side of the Applicant's home and is completely screened by the existing home from the property to the west. Ample vegetative screening exists between the Applicant's Property and the property to the east making the pool difficult to see. h. The ApplicanYs proposed pool will not adversely impact views of the lake currently enjoyed by the adjacent properties. Page2of5 . � °� � O , O CITY of ORONO ��_�= , � '� �► RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL �'� :�� Gtiti No. 6 2 T 1, ��kESH�g'� i. The pool is not proposed to have any vertical appurtenances such as slides, diving boards and the like. j. The ApplicanYs request is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the ordinance. k. The Applicant has demonstrated that enforcing the average lakeshore setback provision of the Zoning Ordinance deprives the Applicant 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 applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance 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 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 Applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a practical difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the Applicant; 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 78-1279(6) to allow construction of an in- ground pool encroaching up to 20 feet into the average lakeshore setback; and a conditional use permit pursuant to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-303(7) to allow installation of a full bathroom including a bathtub and/or shower within a conforming Pool Cabana subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the survey submitted by the Applicant 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 and no hardcover variances are granted. 3. The Applicant hereby covenants the Pool Cabana will not be: Page 3 of 5 . � �� O ,, O CITY of ORONO a - � �- ��' �► RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL �� M� .,, �� No. 6 2 � 1 ��kEsHo4� a. Used for a home occupation unless specifically approved by the city or if allowed by this Code. b. Used as a dwelling unless a guest house conditional use permit is obtained. c.
