NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File 11-3524. 2. The property is located in the R-lA One Family 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 September 19, 2011 and recommended approval of variances based on the following findings: a. The Property contains 28,600 s.f. (0.66 acre) in area and has 80-feet in width. Page 1 of 5 O O O ti CITY of ORONO ti RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 6 0 8 2 kES�I b. Sanitary sewer is available. c. There is no additional land available to bring the lot area into conformity. d. The 70-foot wetland and buffer setback extends through the center of the existing home. e. An existing drainage swale on the northern portion of the Property is an additional limiting factor. f. The proposed addition will meet the required 10-foot principal structure side setback as required within the R-IA zoning district. g. At 2,280 square feet (7.6%) structural coverage, the home and proposed addition will conform to the structural coverage limitation of 15% of the total lot area. h. The Applicants' have proposed to mitigate potential negative impacts resulting from the wetland encroachment with the creation of a 2,500 square foot native planting area and installation of a rain garden on the Property. i. The Applicants' request will alleviate a practical difficulty inherent to the Property and not created by the Applicants. j. The Applicants' request will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood and will result in minimal negative impact on adjacent properties. k. The Applicants' request is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the ordinance. 1. The Applicants have demonstrated that enforcing the wetland buffer and buffer setback provisions of the Zoning Ordinance deprive 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 Page 2 of 5 o.�,. 0 0 CITY of ORONO ti RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL 6 8 2 SI;0 NO. 0 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 properties 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 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 78-1608(2) to allow construction of a two- story garage addition to the existing home set back 16 feet from the Preserve wetland on the Property where a total of 70-feet (50-foot buffer plus a 20-foot structural setback from the buffer) is normally required and a 28-foot setback currently exists, subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the survey, construction, rain garden and planting plans submitted by the Applicants and annotated by City staff. The survey and construction plans are attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A & B. The rain garden shall follow the City Engineer's recommendations in their memos dated 8/31/11 and the planting plan shall follow the planting plan by Mike Evenocheck of Prairie Restorations dated 10/05/11. Any amendments to the plans which are not in conformity with City codes will require further Planning Commission and City Council review. 2. The Applicant's building permit survey, rain garden and planting plans shall address the City Engineer's comments and recommendations. 3. The rain garden and planting area shall be installed and inspected by the City Engineer prior to refund of the building permit escrow. 4. The home plans submitted are for the purpose of setback review. The construction plans and survey submitted for building permit will be reviewed for conformance with Orono's building height and number of stories calculation. Page 3 of 5 0 0 CITY of ORONO a' ti RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL �L`9kESII0 NO. 6 ® 8 2 5. The 2011 dining room addition was permitted prior to the wetland delineation. The portion of the addition which encroaches 10 feet into the required 20-foot structural setback from the buffer is considered a legal, non-conforming structure. 6. 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 new construction and commencing construction of said project. A framing inspection must be completed within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variance will expire on that date (October 10, 2012). 7. 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. 8. 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.
