NOW, THBREFORE, BE IT RBSOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning.File #1337. 2. The property is located in the LR-1C Single Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. • 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on November 21, 1988, and recommended approval of the requested variances based upon the following findings: A) The proposed garage will replace an existing garage which is located 3.3' from the side lot line, hence a greater setback than now exists will be obtained. B) The side setback variance is justified based on the location of the existing driveway and app licant's desire to not move that driveway and disrupt additional lawn area. C) Placement of the garage behind the extended west line of the house in order to avoid a variance would necessitate the removal of a number of mature trees and would eliminate the current rear yard area enjoyed by applicant.

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 effect of the proposed variances 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 ap� ly 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.

Minimum street setback from the garage doors to the lot line abutting Navarre Lane shall be 30'. - 2.
