This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1529 . 2. The property is located in the LR-lA Single Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on May 21, 1990, and recommended approval of the proposed variance based upon the following findings: a) This is the only feasible location for a garage on the property. 1 • Page 1 of 4 • . n .� .�� C�t o� ORONO �.�. �' . • C�'ll y�:^' RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL . � y NO. 2 812 • - • • � b) Hennepin County has given the applicant a verbal approval of the driveway layout proposed. c) The proposed garage and driveway location will leave adequate room for parking vehicles off the traveled roadway. d) Other possible garage configurations would require additional variances but provide less functional access to the garage. e) Because the adjacent property to the northeast is an outlot required to be maintained for lake access purposes for properties within the plat of Bayside Landing, this area which the applicant currently maintains appears visually a part of applicant's yard � area and reduces the impact of the additional structure • on visual density in the neighborhood. f) There is no excess hardcover on the property which can be feasibly removed to reduce the hardcover percentage on the property. There is no hardcover in the 0-75' zone. The extremely small size of the lot (approximately 8 , 000 square feet) and the fact that there is no additional land available to be purchased, are hardships to the property which help justify granting of the variances. 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 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 variance 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.
