NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File =03-2934. 2. The property is located in the LR-1C Lakeshore Residential Zoning District, which requires minimum lot area of 0.� acres(2I,78G� s.f.) and minimum lot w-idth of 100'. The lot area is 0.15 acres (6,49-� s.f.) and defi�ed lot width is 50'. 3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on October 20,2003 and on a vote of 5-0 recommended approval based on the following findings and recommended conditions: a. A house has existed on the property for�any years,and the property is served by municipal sewer and water. Page 1 of 6 � � o� o �,, o ,��,.�� , ;: CITY of ORONO a � ,� �°"�`�,, � �� G~ RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL �kESII�� NO. � � � ':' b. The lot area and width are sufficient to allo�v development of a single family residence meeting or nearly meeting all standards of the LR-1C zoning district. c. The minimal actual encroachment of side street setback by house (2.5' encroachment) and portico (<2' encroachment), and the narrow width of the lot, plus the substantial separation between the proposed house and the traveled portion of the side street, act as hardships to support the side street setback variance. d. The proposed house will be sized smaller than 1500 s.f.lot covera;e allotment for lots less than 10,000 s.f.in area,and the configuration of the lot and gara je location will minimize hardcover while still allowing for off-street vehicle parking in front of the garage. The revised proposal accounts for the necessary hardcover amenities to functionally serve the house(AC pad,front sidewalk). A small first-floor level deck of no greater than 120 s.f.should be allowed on the lake side of the house meeting all principal structure setbacks.The small lot size is a hardship supporting a hardcover variance to allow 1,838 s.f. hardcover(28.3%)in the 75-250'zone,which Planning Commission finds is the amount of hardcover necessary to reasonably support the construction of a new residence on this property. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant 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 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 propertyri�ht of the applicant;and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.
