NOW, THERBFORE, BE IT RESOLV$D by the City Counci 1 of Orono, • Minnesota: � FINDINGS l. This application was reviewed as Zoning Fi1e #1065. 2. The property is located in the RR-lA Single Family Rural Residential Zoning District. 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on September 15, 1986, and recommended approval of the proposed variance based upon the following findings: ' A) The applicants intend the apartment to be used as a guest apartment only and have no intent to rent the apartment. . B) The apartment, as designed, is on the walkout level of the house and may be accessed from within the main house as We1i as from direct exit to the rear yard at the walkout level, or indirectly to the garage. 4. This property was created by a subdivision approved prior to the adoption of the RR-lA zoning district standards. The lot technically has a width of 140' at the 100' front yard setback line, hence does not meet the required 300' width standard and technically required a variance to obtain a building permit. However, the lot is 964' wide at the building site and therefore at that point exceeds the required point. 5. 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 variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
