NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File 09-3425. 2. The property is located in the RS, Seasonal Recreational District, which requires a minimum lot area of 5.0 acres. The applicant's property is a legal lot ofrecord and has 1.0 acres in total area. Page 1 of 4 CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 5 9 1 2 3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on January 19, 2010 and recommended approval of the requested after-the-fact variance and conditional use permit based on the following findings: a. City Code 78-1282 allows for the installation of stairs, lifts and landings in place of major topographic alterations on steep slopes. b. The changes made to the stair system, lakeside patio/walkway and retaining walls are nearly an in-kind hardcover replacement of the previously existing lakeside deck, retaining walls and stair. c. The newly constructed retaining walls have been partially screened with native grasses. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance and conditional use pennit 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 variance and conditional use permit 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, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants an after-the-fact variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1288 to allow 12.5% hardcover within the 0-75' setback zone where only 2.6% is pe1mitted for the lake access stair to allow an existing replacement retaining wall, lakeshore patio/walkway and lake access stair; and a conditional use pennit pursuant to Orono Page 2 of 4 CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. --~5~9 ...,.1---;2-- Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1250 to allow grading within the 0-75' setback zone, subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the site plan submitted by the applicant and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A & B. 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 0-75' zone shall not increase above 12.5% or 1,555 s.f. per the construction plan and survey as depicted on Exhibits A & B. Applicant is 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 reduction in existing hardcover. 3. Applicant must submit a complete after-the-fact building permit/land alteration permit on or before June 30, 2010. 4. An engineer's opinion of the construction of all walls 4-feet and above as well as a revised planting plan, outlining additional native vegetative screening for the retaining walls, are required to be submitted with the building permit application. 5. Due to the fact that there were no retaining wall plans prior to construction and the City had no opportunity to review the walls during the construction, the City assumes no liability regarding the integrity of the walls as constructed. 6. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the property not with the applicant, 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 variance and conditional use permit will expire on that date (February 8, 2011). 7. 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 tenninate any authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor. 8. The undersigned owners have read, understand and hereby agree to the terms of this resolution and on behalf of the owners and the owners' heirs, successors and assigns, hereby agree to the recording of this resolution in the chain of title of the property.
