NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #02-2778. 2. The property is located in the LR-1C ('/z acre) One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. Page 1 of 6 O v O CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL �kESH� NO. 4798 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on April 15, 2002 and recommended approval on a vote of 7 to 0 for variances based upon the following findings and hardships: A. The second story addition will not increase the footprint size of the house. _B. There is no expansion of the building envelope within the average Lakeshore setback. C. The house was constructed prior to the current zoning standards requiring a 75' lakeshore setback. 4. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on April 15, 2002 and recommended denial on a vote of 7 to 0 for variances to permit expansion of the deck between the garage and house based on the following findings: A. The deck would add additional hardcover and structure to the property. The deck requires variances to permit the total hardcover to increase from 27.7% to 30.2% in the 75-250' setback where 25% is allowed. A second variance is required to allow the total lot coverage by structure to increase from the existing 1,901 s.f. (18.3%) to 2,013 s.f. (19.4%) where 1,553 s.f. (15%) is allowed. B. Over the past several years the City of Orono has not approved variances that would allow additional building mass on properties that are currently over 15% structural lot coverage. C. The property has lakeshore to the northwest side of the property and directly across Fagerness Point Road. Additional hardcover on the property has the potential to contribute to direct runoff of storm water to the lake. Approval of such a variance would be inconsistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan's Environmental Protection Plan. D. Such an approval would be inconsistent with other actions taken by the City for lots that have lakeshore on more than one property dimension. Page 2 of 6 O O b. CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL lkEsHoj NO. 4788 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 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. 6. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 1 and Section 10.56, Subdivision 16 (C) (6) to permit an expansion of the roof line and raising the roof within 75' of the lakeshore; and denies variances to Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 and Section 10.56, Subdivision 16 (L) (2) to permit additional hardcover within the 75-250' lakeshore setback over 25% and to Section 10.03, Subdivision 14 (C) to permit additional structure over 15% on the property, subject to the following conditions: 1. 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 (April 22, 2003). 2. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this variance shall constitute a violation of the zoning code, shall automatically terminate any authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor.
