NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS Pa�=; l of� �-�l�O C ITY O� ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL y � � 4 � 4 � �` N o. `�kEs H o�� 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File number 13-3645. 2. The Property is located in the LR-1 C One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District which requires a minimum lot area of 0.5 acres and a minimum lot width of 100'. 3. The Planning Commission reviewed thi� application at � public hearin� h�id on July 21, 2014 and voted 7 for and 0 against on a motion to approve the hardcover variance and conditional use permit. The Planning Commission finds that the following factors support the granting of the request: a. The Property has 0.56 acres in area (or approximately 24,400 square feet). b. The Property has approximately 136 feet of width at the OHWL and approximately 180 feet at the 75-foot setback. c. The Property suffered a catastrophic failure of the lake slope in July 2013. A portion of the failure extends across the north property line on to the property at 1895 Concordia Street; the Owners have agreed to repair this portion of the failed areas on the 1895 Concordia Street property in conjunction with their own repairs. d. The Owners have since been developing a restoration plan that meets both the City's and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District's (MCWD) gaals to stabilize the slope and eliminate the sedimentation into the lake with the Owners' goals for stability, aesthetics and lake access. e. The retaining walis wili be the minimum amount of walis necessary to stabilize and restore the slope. The proposed hardcover resulting from the tiered retaining walls which is approximated to be between 700 to 800 square feet is reasonable, consistent with the comprehensive plan and will not alter the character of the area. f. The Owners have provided a landscape pian which includes lilac shrubs which will serve to screen and mitigate views of the tiered walls from the lake. g. The tiered retaining walls within the 75-foot setback will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood and when screened by vegetation will result in minimal or no negative impact on adjacent properties. Pa�e '_' of� �o�o C ITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF T'HE CITY COUNCIL � � � � 34 �' � N o. ��kss x o�� h. The instaliation of the tiered retaining walls will help to support the slope and screening plan should help to prevent further erosion from the site. i. The Owners' request is in harrnony with the purpose and intent of the ordinance, consistent with the comprehensive plan and will not alter the character of the area. 4. The City Council has conside�ed this application inciuding the findings and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the Owners and the public, and the effect of the proposed variances and conditional use permit on the health, safety and weifare 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 variances and conditional use permit would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; and wouid be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Pian of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council grants: a variance from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1279 to allow construction of tiered retaining walls within 75 feet of the OWHL of Lake Minnetonka in order to repair significant erosion and the catastrophic failure of the lake yard sfope; variances to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-1288, 78- 1680 and 78-1700 to allow new hardcover in conjunction with construction of the tiered retaining walis within 75 feet of the OWHL of Lake Minntonka where no hardcover is permitted; and a conditional use permit pursuant to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-966, 78-967 and 78-1286 to allow construction of tiered retaining walis in conjunciion with slope stabiiization measures in response to a catastrophic failure of the lake yard slope within 75 feet of the OHWL on the Property; subject to the foliowing conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the partial survey and draft plans submitted by the Owners and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A and B. Final plans shall be submitted for review and approval by the City Engineer prior to issuance of a land alteration permit and any commencement of work to restore the slope areas. 2.
