A RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCES TO MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE SECTIONS 78-330 & 78-1288 FILE NO. 06-3224 WHEREAS, Thomas Lowe and Rebecca Lowe, husband and wife (hereinafter "the applicants") are the owners of the property located at 3295 Carman Road within the City of Orono (hereinafter the"City") and legally described as follows: Lot 8, Block 1, Carman Cove, Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter the "property"); and WHEREAS, the applicants have made application to the City of Orono for a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-330 to allow construction of a new home on a lot 0.45 acre in area where 1.0 acre is required; and WHEREAS, the applicants have made application to the City of Orono for a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1288 to allow 42% hardcover within the 75' —250' setback zone where 25% is normally allowed in conjunction with the construction of a new single family home. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File 06-3224. 2. The property is located in the LR-1B 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 September 18, 2006 and on a vote of 3-2 recommended approval of the lot area variance and approval of the hardcover variance not to exceed 40% within the 75' — 250' zone based on the following findings: Page 1 of S � f ' ' � O� O O � C ITY of ORONO � ;.. � ti ti RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL ��`9kES�IOg'�G No. 5 5 1 � a. The property contains 19,917 s.f. in area and has 147' in width at the OHWL and 114' in width at the 75' setback. b. The lot is substandard in area and a residence has existed on the property for many years. c. There is no additional land available to bring the lot width or lot area into conformity. d. The hardcover if reduced to no more than 40% of the 75'-250' zone will be in line with the levels of hardcover variances approved on rebuild applications with similar lot conditions. The proposed residence meets the structural lot coverage limitation of 15%. e. The proposed structure complies with all lake yard, side yard, rear (street) yard, and average lakeshore setback requirements. f. The reverse pie shape of the lot warrants additional hardcover within the 75'- 250' setback zone. g. The applicants have proposed a 2-story home with a basement meeting the City's definitions. The lowest floor elevation has been proposed at 945.25' with an adjacent walk-out (lake side) ground level of 946'-946.25' to avoid excavation within the 0-75' zone. This "step up" walkout arrangement will require careful design to avoid flooding. 4. The applicants subsequent to Planning Commission review have submitted a revised proposal for 39.3%hardcover in the 75'- 250' zone. 5. 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. 6. 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 applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable Page 2 of 5 _: _ �°� 0 0 � CITY of ORONO � :- � ti �� G~' RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL `�kEsKo� No. 5 5 1 � hardship or 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 78-330 Subdivision B to allow redevelopment of a lot 19,917 s.f. in area where 43,560 s.f. is normally required and a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1288 to allow 39.3% hardcover where 25% is normally allowed, subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the site plan 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. Hardcover in the 0-75' zone shall not increase above the level of 232 s.f. or 2.3%. Hardcover in the 75-250' zone shall be limited to 3,854 s.f. or 39.3% per the proposed plan and hardcover allowance summary as depicted on Exhibit A. Applicants are advised that any future requests to increase hardcover or change the nature of existing/approved hardcover shall require City approval, and increases in hardcover will not likely be approved without concurrent reduction in existing hardcover. 3. Applicants shall remove all plastic or fabric liner material from the decorative landscape beds on the property to ensure their permeability as non-hardcover surfaces. 4. Required removals of structure and hardcover to be removed shall be completed prior to the framing inspection for the new residence. 5. The applicants are advised to carefully design the site drainage to avoid flooding of the basement level. 6. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the property not with the applicants, but are perxnissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the new construction within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variance will expire on that date (October 9, 2007).
