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 applicant's desire to not move that
driveway and disrupt additional lawn area.
C) Placement of the garage behind the extended west line of the
t 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.

demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a
substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping
