WHEREAS, Graydon Newman and Michelle Newman (hereinafter "the
applicants") are owners of the property located at 1655 Bohns Point Road within the City of
Orono (hereinafter "City") and legally described as follows:
Lot 6, Auditor's Subdivision No. 349, Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter "the
property"); and
WHEREAS, after due published notice and mailed notice in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes and the City of Orono Zoning and Planning Codes, the Orono Planning
Commission held a public hearing on September 21, 1998, at which times all persons desiring
to be heard concerning this application were given the opportunity to speak thereon; and
WHEREAS, the applicants have applied to the City for variances to Municipal
Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 1 (B) and Section 10.56, Subdivision 16 (C) (6) to
allow the construction of an addition encroaching 88' into the average lakeshore setback and
a pool to encroach 44' into the average lakeshore setback where no encroachment is normally

11,605 s.f. (26.7%) hardcover in the 75-250' lakeshore setback area where 10,850 s.f. (25%)

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono,
Minnesota:
CITY of ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. 4 179
FINDINGS
1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #2418.
2. The property is located in the LR-1B, One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning
District.
3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application on September 21, 1998, and
recommended approval on a vote of 6 to 0.
4. The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact:
A. The lot meets size and yard setback requirements.
B. The zoning lot is located on a peninsula and is irregular in shape.
C. Variances were previously granted for hardcover and average lakeshore
setback.
5. The City Council denied the applicant's request on September 28, 1998, but due
to not receiving complete information to base a decision upon, the applcation
was opened for reconsideration on October 12, 1998.
6. Property owners acknowledge that the proposed plan does not include outdoor
patios or decks. It is the intent of the City Council that future requests for
additional hardcover would not be looked upon favorably.
7. 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.
