RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL '
� NO.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Orono hereby makes the following findings of fact:
1. It is in the public interest to provide a parking lot
and access to the DNR Luce Line at this point.
2 . The intended use of this property conforms to the
Comprehensive Plans of the City.
3 . The size of the proposed parcel is substandard for
residential purposes in the RR-1B District but is
sufficient for the stated public purposes.
4 . The public benefit to be gained from the creation of
this access justifies approval of a lot area variance
for creation of the 3 . 1 acre parcel. The remaining
City land exceeds 5. 0 acres and, therefore , does fully
• comply with all the zoning ordinances of the City.
AND, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that based upon the above
findings, the City Council hereby approves subdivision of the above
described City land for this purpose, and furthermore, authorizes
the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into agreements providing for the
sale of said parcel to the State of Minnesota subject to the following
conditions:
l. The purchase price shall be $10 , 500 .00 .
2 . The City will retain, through a deed restriction, drainage
easements along the west 20 feet and south 30 feet of the
parcel together with easements providing for access to
and maintenance of said drainage areas.

allow access through this parcel to any abutting property,
except recreational access to the Luce Line Trail itself,
unless prior written approval shall have been obtained
from the City of Orono.
4 . A deed restriction shall be included which will provide
that no permanent structure shall be constructed on the
property without the prior written approval of the City.
