NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File#2583. • Page 1 of 6 i O 7 � • O O ��e - CITY of ORONO � � �,� G'�F ,RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL �`9k'E38�g'� NO. � � �� . 2. This property is located in the LR-1C Zoning District,where 1/2 acre or 21,780 s.f. is the minimum lot area. 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on May 15, 2000 and recommended approval by a vote of 5 to 0. � 4. The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact: A. The properry owner has proposed to remove existing detached garage and construct a new garage. The existing gazage is located over the rear property line and on the west property line. The applicant has stated the hardship is the existing garage has a dirt floor and is located on the lowest point between • the adjacent properties. Following rain,the water runs into and through the garage, making the garage usable during dry times in the summer. In the winter,the ground swells with frost and the doors cannot be opened. � B. Filling the low portion of the property was discussed,but it is the only place on the properties that is collecting water. Fill would force the water in another direction. The proposed site plan would allow the garage to be located out of the low area and place the structure within the properry lines. C. A 5' setback should be maintained on lots for accessory buildings due to the Code requirement to maintain a minimum setback to all other structures of 10'. The adjacent garage located at 3438 Livingston Avenue is 3' off the . property line. If the garage is replaced in the future, it should be replaced 5' from the property line,thus resulting in a 10' separation between buildings. D. The minimum setback required for garages from the rear property line is 10'. Most other garages in the locality do not meet the minimum setback required by code. This garage cannot be located closer to the rear property line due to the low area that collects water after rainfall. However the 12' setback is in keeping with the setback established for garages in the zoning district. • Page 2 of 6 i 7' O� ' , • O O . �� - � CITY of ORONO � � ,� G'�� • RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL � ��kESH04� NO. �$ � 'r �'.�'. E. The relocation of the garage would eliminate a building located over the properry lines with a structure closer to conformance with the intent of the Municipal Code. 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 variance would not adversely affect tr�c 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 di�culty; 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. 6. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission,reports by City Staff,comments by � the applicants 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 2 and Section 10.56, Subdivision 16(L)(2)to permit 1,968 s.f.(43.4%)hardcover in the 500-1000'lakeshore setback where 1,816 s.f. (40.3%)exists and 1,575 s.f. (35%)is allowed,and Section 10.25, Subdivision 6 (B)to permit a 5' side setback for a garage where 10' is required to replace a detached gazage.
