NOW, T'HERE�'ORE BE IT ]t�SOLVEi) by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS • 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File 06-3189. Page 1 of 6 _ �°� . r o 0 �� CITY of ORONO � ,� ,. �, . ... , ti ti RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL ��`�kEsH.og'�G NO. 5 5 5 2 . . 2. The property is located in the LR-1B One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District which requires a minimum lot area of 43,560 s.f. or 1.0 acre and a minimum lot width of 140 feet. 3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on April 17, 2006 and recominended denial of vaxiances at the request of the applicants in order to move the application to the Council. 4. The City Council reviewed this application on May 22, August 28, and December 11, 2006 and makes the following findings: a. The property contains 10,128 s.f. in area and has 50' in width. b. The lot is substandard in area and width 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. Due to the condition of the existing water supply well, the applicants require a new water supply well. The specific locational constraints of the neighboring wells and sewer lines severely limit the location options for the new well, which impacts tlle design and location of a replacement home for the site. e. The narrowness of the lot supports the side setback variance as requested for the 1.5' encroachment into the 10' side setback for a length of 7' for the cantilevered bump out. f. The hardcover variances as requested are in line with the levels of hardcover variances approved on rebuild applications with similar lot conditions. The proposed residence meets the number of stories and the height requirements as well as the structural lot coverage limitation of 15%. 5. The City Council has considered this application includiilg the findings and recommendation of the Planning Coinmission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed varia�ice on the • health, safety and welfare of the coirununity.

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 neigllboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in lceeping 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 to allow construction of a new residence on a property 10,128 s.f. in area and 50' in width where 43,560 s.f. in area and 140' of • width are normally required, and to allow a 8.5' side setbacic for a 7' wide cantilevered portion of the home where a 10' side setback is normally required; and a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1279 to allow the new home to encroach 17' into the average lakeshore setback and a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1288 to allow 248 s.f. of hardcover within the 0 - 75' zone where 0 s.f. is normally allowed, and 2,960 s.f. or 47.1% hardcover within the 75' - 250' zone where 1,570 s.f. or 25% is normally allowed in conjunction with the construction of a new residence and to allow existing lake yard retaining walls to remain, subject to the following conditions: 1.
