Hurd and Janice L. Zehringer-Hurd (hereinafter "the applicants") are owners of the property located at 2795 Casco Point Road within the City of Orono (hereinafter "the City") and legally described as follows: Lot 129 and that part of Lot 130 lying Southerly of a line drawn median with the Northerly and Southerly lines of said Lot 130, together with that part of Lakeshore A venue vacated and of the tract of land between said vacated avenue and the shore of Lake Minnetonka, as designated and defined in the instrument of dedication on the plat of SPRING PARK, lying between the Westerly extension of said median line and the Westerly extension of the Southerly line of said Lot 129, all in SPRING PARK. For purposes of this survey, said median line has been assumed to be a line drawn from the midpoint of the Easterly line of Lot 130 to the midpoint of the Westerly line of said Lot 130. (hereinafter "the property"); and WHEREAS, the applicants have applied to the City for variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivisions 1 (B) and 2 to permit construction of a new residence to be located 11' in front of the average lakeshore setback line and a main level deck at 20' in front of the average lakeshore setback line where no such encroachment is allowed and a hardcover variance within the 250-500' setback area proposed at 2,912.7 s.f. or 38.9% where the Code would allow 30%. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #2151. 2. The property is located in the LR-1 C Single Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District requiring 21,780 s.f. or .5 acres in area. The property consists of 31,447.5 s.f. or .72 acres. Page 1 of 5 CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 3 7 5 6 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on July 15, 1996 and August 19, 1996 and recommended approval of the variances as amended based upon the following findings and hardships: A. Residence structures along this section of lakeshore are located 175+' from shoreline restricting placement of structure on property. B. The majority of residences are located to the east or street side of property. C. The boathouse at 400 s.f. in area is in excellent condition and has been maintained by owners. Both neighbors on adjacent properties have asked that the structure remain because of its attractiveness. D. The higher elevations at the residential construction line eliminates any negative impact on lakeshore views by the single story boathouse at the lakeside. E. Placement in approximate footprint of existing residence will eliminate need to remove trees and further excavation into the higher elevations to the east. The majority of runoff from the developed site will drain towards lakeshore over the extensive 180' of grassed yard. F. The property is located on the point of the shoreline and as a result of the angle of the shoreline, the structure is located further from the shoreline than the neighboring houses. G. The homeowners, receiving most impact from new construction, have approved the redevelopment plan for the property. 4. 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 variances would not adversely affect tra,ffic 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 Page 2 of 5 CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 3 7 5 6 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. 5. 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 a setback variance of 11' for the principal structure and 20' for the main level open deck to the average lakeshore setback line and grants a hardcover variance of 671.7 s.f. or 8.9% to permit construction of a new residence on the property located at 2795 Casco Point Road, subject to the following conditions: 1. Prior to the razing of the existing residence and detached garage, applicant's contractor shall obtain a demolition permit from the City of Orono. Applicant or applicant's contractor shall be responsible for installing erosion control until groundcover is restored on property. 2. Applicants shall provide an updated survey locating all proposed improvements. The updated survey must be submitted with the building permit application along with adjusted hardcover inventory forms. The survey shall include the Theilmann residence located at 2799 Casco Point Road in order to confirm approved lakeshore setback line for principal structure. 3. Authorities granted by this variance run with the property not with the applicants, but are permissive only and must be exercised by application for a building permit within one year of the date of Council approval, or this variance will expire on that date (September 9, 1997).

The undersigned applicants have read, understood and hereby agree to the terms of this resolution and on behalf of themselves, their heirs, successors and assigns, hereby agree to the recording of this resolution in the Chain of Title of the property.
