NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: Page 1 of 4 ' r w O O ti CITY of ORONO ti RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL`�kEsK04�G NO. 5 6 4 FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File#07-3294. 2. The Planning Commission reviewed this application on July 16, 2007 and on a vote of 6 - 0 recommended approval of the conditional use permit for construction and reconstruction of retaining walls within the 0-75 foot shoreland zone and a hardcover variance for the associated hardcover based on the walls being necessary to maintain the steep slope and preserve two large trees. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the owners and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance 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 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 owners, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the owners; 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 the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a conditional use permit for retaining walls within the 0 to 75 foot zone and a variance to allow the hardcover associated with the retaining walls in the 0 to 75 foot zone, subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the site plan submitted by the owners and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A. Any amendments to the site plan which are not in conformity with City codes will require further Planning Commission and City Council review. Page 2 of 4 0 O O ti CITY of ORONO G~' RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL Sii0g� NO. 5 4 4. 2. Hardcover associated with these retaining walls shall be limited to 48 square feet. Owners are 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. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the property not with the owners, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the walls before September 24, 2007 or the variance will expire on that date. 4. 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 terminate any authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor. 5. 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.
