Minnesota: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1574. 2. The property is located in the LR-lC Single Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on August 20, 1990 and on a vote of 5 to 0 recommended approval of the proposed variance based upon the following findings: a. The proposed 4' addition to the side is lower in elevation than the neighboring residence on that side, and additionally there is existing vegetative screening such that no existing lake views enjoyed by the neighboring property owner will be encroached upon. b. Likewise, the proposed 2' expansion of the lakeside wall of the house and the raising of a portion of the house in it's existing footprint, will have no significant impact on neighbors views of the lake. Page 1 of 5 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. City of OR ONO CITY OF ORONO C. The proposed pool, while encroaching 71' past average setback line, is at a relatively low point in topography as compared to both neighboring properties, will have no impact on neighbors views of the lake. 2860 the the and d. The proposed pool and additions comprise additional structural and at -grade hardcover on the property of 368 s.f. Applicant proposes removals of approximately 927 s.f., for a net reduction in hardcover to 35.6% from the pre- existing 37.5%. Planning Commission's review of the application indicated that the proposed pool would likely have some additional hardcover after it was moved a few feet lakeward to meet the 10' deck overhang setback. Applicants noted that if that occurred, there was additional hardcover in rock and plastic, and driveway, that could be removed so that hardcover would never exceed 35.6% in the 75-250' zone. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendatio-s of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the ct of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing n this property are peculiar to it and do not apply geY to er 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 applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDzR AND CONDITIONS Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 1 & 2 to permit the construction of proposed additions and pool, which additions and pool encroach past the defined average lakeshore setback line where no encroachment is normally allowed, and which comprise additional hardcover in the 75-250' zone above the 25% hardcover normally allowed, subject to the following conditions: Page 2 of 5 City of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 2860 R • ilk 1. Construction of room additions shall adhere to the site plan attached to this resolution as Exhibit B. Any revisions to that plan will require further review by t -p City. 2.

All existing hardcover screduled for removal as a condition of this resolution must be removed prior to the footing inspection for the new construction. 9. Authorities granted by this variance run with the property not with the applicant, but are permissive only and must be exercised by application for a building permit within one year of the date of Council approval, or this variance will expire on that date (August 27, 1991). 5.
