Blount and Gretchen M. Blount, husband and wife, (hereinafter"the applicants") are the owners of the property located at 1390 Cherry Place within the City of Orono (hereinafter the"City") and legally described as follows: That part of Government Lots 4 and 5, Section 8, Township 117 North, Range 23 West of the 5 1 Principal Meridian, described as follows: Beginning at the Southwest corner of Lot 7, Block 11, Saga Hill Revised; thence East along the South line of said Lot 7 to the shore of North Arm, Lake Minnetonka; thence southerly along the shore of Lake Minnetonka 57.0 feet, more or less to the Northeast corner of Lot 1, Block 4, "Crystal Bay View"; thence West along the North line of said Lot 1 to the Northwest corner of said Lot 1; thence northerly to the place of beginning; AND ALSO Lot 7, Block 11, Saga Hill Revised. (hereinafter the "property"); and WHEREAS, the applicants have made application to the City of Orono for variances to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-282, 78-1288 (B) and Section 78-1279 (6) to allow reconstruction of an existing rotted deck in a slightly different location in conjunction with an interior remodel; such deck encroaching four feet past the average setback line, and resulting in hardcover in excess of the 25% normally allowed in the 75'-250' zone. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File#04-2969. Metro Legal Services Inc. Box 491 Page 1 of 6 O� O � CITY of ORONO ti ti RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL 0g�G NO. 5 1 2 1 2. The property is located*in the LR— 1 B, One Family Lakeshore Residential District, which requires a minimum lot area of one (1) acre. The applicants' property is 0.527 acres in area. 3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at public hearings held on January 20, 2004 and February 17, 2004 and recommended approval of the hardcover and average lakeshore setback variances based on the following findings: a. The property is 0.527 acres in size where the zoning district requires 1 acre. b. The existing deck has rotted and is in need of repair. c. The property contains 40.45% hardcover in the 75'-250' zone where 25% is normally allowed and the applicants are proposing to reduce that hardcover by 183 square feet. d. The four (4) foot encroachment into the average lakeshore setback will not obstruct any views to the lake as the neighbor to the north sits much higher in elevation and the neighbor to the south doesn't have any views over the applicants' property due to changing topography. 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 variances 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 variances 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 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. Page 2 of 6 0 0 CITY of ORONO ti ti RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL`9kESK04�G NO. 5 1 2 `` CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-282, 78-1288 (B) and Section 78-1279 (6) to allow reconstruction of an existing rotted deck in a slightly different location in conjunction with an interior remodel, 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 75-250' zone shall be limited to 5,966 s.f. or 39.25% 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 reductions 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 (183 s.f. of decking) shall be completed at the time of the footing inspection for the deck. 5. 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 within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variances will expire on that date (March 8, 2005). 6. 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. 7.
