ESi; ' A RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCES TO MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE SECTION 10.25, SUBDIVISION 6 (B) FILE NO. 1811 R'HEREAS, C. Jack Remien (hereinafter "the applicant") is th.e owner of the properry Iocated at 3237 Casco Circle within the City of Orono (hereinafter "City"} and legally described as follows: L.ot 18, Spring Park, also all the land including the vacated highway, Lake Shore Drive; iying between the Northeasterly line of said lot and the shore of Lake Minnetonka and between the Northwesterly and Southeasterly lies of said Lot 18 extended Northeasterly to said lake shore, and being part of Govemment Lot 6, Section 20, Township 117 riorch, Range 23 West of the Sth Principal Meridian, and also indicated on the plat of said Spring Park (hereinafter "the property"); and �i'HEREAS, the applicant has applied to the City for variances to Municinal Zoning Code Section 10.25, Subdivision 6 (B) to permit the construction of a new residence on a property that is 16,748 s�quare feet in area or 77% of the minimum area required of 21,780 square feet or half acre and the width of the properry is 55 feet or 55% of the required 100 feet of lot width. , ?�'OW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Miruiesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1811. 2. The properry is located in the LR-1C Single Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. 3. The property was in common ownership with contiguous Lots 16 and 17, Sprina Park prior to 1967 through 1977. Lots 16 and 17 are now legally combined• The properry is now in common ownership with I.ot 19. 4. Section 10.03, Subdivision 6 (A) (1) of the Municipal Zoning Code provides for development of lots of record held in separate ownership since prior to the effective date of the zoning regulation, provided a lot of record meets 80% of the required lot area and lot width and has municipal sewer available.

Prior to December 19, 1983, the Ciry Council always required that when two or more lots were owned in common, each lot must individually meet or exceed the requirements of the Zoning Code before any of the lots can be built upon and that two or more substandard lots owned in common must be combined so that the resulting combined lot meets the requirements of the Zoning�Code before the lots can be built upon. 6. Upon completion of a 6 month City wide review of the common ownership issue, on December 19, 1983, the City approved a policy change to permit all substandard undeveloped lots within the sewered areas of the City regardless of the ownership of these lots, the same standards for review. 7. The property is 16,748 square feet or 77% of the required area. The property is consistent in area with 7 other developed lots within a total developed neiQhborhood of 33 lots. 8. The property measures�55 feet in lot width, identical in width to two neighboring developed Iots but narrower than the majority of lots in the 33 lot Casco Circle neighborhood. 9. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on April 19, 1993 and � on a vote of 3-2 recommended approval of the variances as proposed based upon the following findings: A. No available land - lots are developed on both sides of property. B. Sewer and water are available to the property. C. A house and improvements can be consttucted without the need for additional variances. D. By granting this variance there will be no negative effect on the public health, safety and welfare. � E. By granting this variance it is consistent with the development of the area. � F. By granting this variance there should be no need for future hardcover and setback variances. _ � � .

H, The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which said land is located. • I. 'I'he granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. 1. The granting of the proposed variances will not in anyway impair the health, safety, comfort, morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Code. I{. That the granting of such variances will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or difficulty. 10. This application is a renewal of variances granted on February 27, 1984, January 13, 1986 and February 9, 1987, and the fmdings stated in those approval resolutions (No's. 1607, 1904 and 2123 respectively) were acceptable at the time they were adopted and are still valid. 11. A public hearing was held pursuant to proper legal notice by the Planning Commission on April 19, 1993 at which time all parties wishing to speak reaarding the application were heard. Further, at City Council meetings on May 24, June 14 and June 28, 1993 all persons present wishing to comment on the matter were heard, and their comments are a matter of record in the o�cial City Council minutes. Further, the City Council in reaching its decision has taken into account written submittals by the applicant, applicant's neighbors, the attorneys for the applicant and applicant's neighbors, and other parties with interest in the matter. 12. The City Council has considered this application including the fmdings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and other parties and the effect of the proposed variance on the � health, safety and welfare of the community. � , Page 3 of� 7 . ►..��.a.. o.�,. � - �' CITY of ORONO O .� O �� ,� RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL ''� �- � NO. �� � '"�+�t� ' ,ti, � �, Z 1¢�i�' 'q�'EgxO 13. The City Councii fmds that the property cannot be put to a reasonable use unless the variance is granted. and that use of the property as additional yard is not a reasonable use given applicant's reliance when he purchased the property that it constituted a buildable lot as evidenced by three prior variance approvals. The City Council fmds that the applicant's situation is due to unique circumstances not created by the landowner, and that applicant's purchase of the property while applicant owned the adjacent developed lot does not place applicant in the position of being required to adhere to a higher standard of review as compared to an owner of the property who does not own adjacent developed land. Further, the Council fmds that there are other similar sized lots in the locality that have been developed, that development of the property will be required to adhere to the same setback standards that apply to other properties in the azea, and that conswction of a single family residence on the property will not alter the essential character of the locality. 14. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this properry 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. 15. On June 28, 1993 the City Council on a vote of 3 ayes and 2 nays granted conceptual approval for the variance request and directed staff to draft a resolution of approval. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon the above fmdings, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.25, Subdivision 6 (B) to permit the construction of a new residence on a property 16,748 square feet in area or 77% of the required 21,780 square feet (1/2 acre) and with a lot width of 55 feet or 55% of the required 100 feet of lot width, subject to the following conditions: 1. The detached garage located within the right-of-way of Casco Circle is a non- conforming structure and subject to all pertinent municipal ordinances for non- conforming structures. � . _ Page 4 of� 7 • r..saos ura... . : �o � �' �' CITY of ORONO 0 ��, � � _ �i.��.-�� RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL � }��`�'�. �"" NO. � `� �' �, _ '�► � �r � ���� �t, ' , _ �G'�' � 9kES�I�g . 2.
