Breitner (hereinafter "the applicant") is the owner of the property located at 2755 Casco Point Road within the City of Orono (hereinafter "City") and legally described as follows: Lot 7, Auditor's Subdivision No. 265, Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter "the property"); and WHEREAS, the applicant has applied to the City for a � variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 and Section 10.25, Subdivision 6 (B) to permit the construction of a single family residence on a lot of 0.37 acre where 0.50 acre in area is normally required, and of lot width 60' where 100' in width is normally required, and comprising 34.26$ hardcover in the 75-250' lakeshore setback zone where only 25$ hardcover is normally allowed. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOI.VED by the City Counci 1 of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1422. 2. The property is located in the LR-1C Single Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on June 19, 1989, and recommended approval of the proposed variances based upon the following findings: � A) Applicant will be removing an existing sidewalk in the 0-75' zone, resulting in a decrease in hardcover in that zone. • B) The existing non-conforming detached garage will be removed, benefitting the neighborhood. Page 1 of 5 �/� + l � ^ � - Cit� o� ORONO • - R�SOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL _ Q�' ';° '� NO. 2661 `�• � • • � C ) The house location is appropriate given the location of neighboring residences in relation to the lakeshore, hence the excess hardcover associated with the longer driveway is also appropriate. D ) The proposed new residence will remove a neighborhood eyesore, i.e. an old summer cabin which has not been used as a full-time residence for at least � 10 years. E) Additional hardships include the fact that no additional land is available, and that construction of a residence nearer the road in order to meet hardcover standards would not allow applicant to enjoy lake views afforded to adjacent properties. 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 effect of the proposed variances on the health, . safety and welfare of the community. 5. The City Counci 1 f inds that the conditions exi sting on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply general ly 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. CONCLIISIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the findings noted above, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to the Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 and Section 10.25, Subdivision 6 (B) to permit the constructior� of a residence on a lot of 0.37 acres in area where 0.50 acres is normally required, and of lot width 60 ' where 100 ' in lot width is normally required, and comprising 34.26� hardcover in the 75-250' setback � zone where only 25$ hardcover is normal ly al lowed, subject to the following conditions: Page 2 of 5 "'�; , ' 1 , �� , clt� o� oR,oNo • RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL ,'`� .' � ' .
