CITY of ORONO 1 .i yRESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL �kESH0.- NO. 4 S 2 8 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #2410. 2. The property is located in the LR-1C Zoning District, where 1/2 acre or 21,780 sq. ft. is the minimum lot area. The property consists of .28 acres or 10,350 sq. ft. 3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application on July 19, 1999 and recommended approval of a variance on a vote of 7 to 0 to permit new residential construction per the site plan dated July 20, 1998 and revised June 10, 1999, and to deny a conditional use permit for grading within 75' of the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka. 4. The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact: A. The property was developed prior to the adoption of the Zoning Code. B. The total hardcover and structure on the lot will decrease upon redevelopment. C. The building envelope on the property is minimized by the lot being undersized for the Zoning District. Developing the lot without variances would not be possible. D. Adjacent properties are developed closer than 75' to the lakeshore. The new residence would not encroach the average lakeshore setback. E. The City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code encourages protection of the shoreland areas around natural waterways to include preserving the existing grade around Lake Minnetonka. The applicants have proposed grading 124 cubic yards within 75' of the lakeshore to create a walkout for the lower level of a new residence. It is the position of the City to not alter the grade within the lakeshore setback.

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 traffic 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 difficulty; 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 denies the conditional use permit application as described above and grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.25, Subdivision 6 and Section 10.22, Subdivision 1 to permit new residential construction on a lot 76.54' wide where 80' is required and 10,350 sq. ft. in lot area where 17,424 sq. ft. is required; and to permit the residence to be located 47.59' from the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka where 75' is required and 21.01' from the street lot line where 30' is required; Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 and Section 10.56, Subdivision 16 (L) (1) to permit 638 sq. ft. (11%) hardcover in the 0-75' lakeshore setback where 1,285 sq. ft. (22%) exists and no (0%) hardcover is allowed; and Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 and Section 10.56, Subdivision 16 (L) (2) to permit 1,356 sq. ft. (30%) hardcover in the 75-250' lakeshore setback where 1,496 sq.ft. (33%) and 1,122.5 sq. ft. (25%) is allowed. Approval was subject to the following conditions: 1.
