the City of Orono (hereinafter "City" ) and legal ly described as
follows :
Lots 13 and 14, Block 2, Casco Heights, Hennepin
County, Minnesota (hereinafter "the property"); and
WHER$AS, the applicant has applied to the City for a
variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.25, Subdivision 6
(B) to permit the construction of a second story addition located
2.8' from the side lot line and 16.8' from the street lot li�ne,
where a 10' side setback and a 30' street lot line setback are ,
• normally required, and construction of a three season porch and
deck to be located 2.8' from the side lot line where a 10' side
1ot line setback is normally required.
NOW, THER$FORB, BE IT RESOLV$D by the City Counci 1 of
Orono, Minnesota:
FIIdDINGS
1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1548 .
2. The property is located in the LR-1C Single Family
Lakeshore Residential Zoning District.
3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this app lication
on June 18, 1990 , and recommended approval of the proposed
variance based upon the following findings:
A) The existing house was constructed 18.8' from the
front lot line , and 2.8 ' from the side lot line
abutting the a11ey, hence any upward additions
technical ly require a variance.

B) The ,proposed 3-season porch and deck will continue
the 2.8' setback along the left side lot line. The
area of this porch had previously been granted a
variance in 1976 for a deck in the same location.
These additions are adjacent to an undeveloped alley,
which contains City water lines but appears to be
maintained as part of the yard of the neighboring
property owner.
C) Approval of the .variances will not increase the
visual density in the neighborhood, since the nearest
, neighboring structure is a detached garage 30' away on
the other side of the .alley. .
D) The proposed 2' cantilever over the front of the
house, leaving a 16.8' street lot line setback, is
generally in line with other residences constructed in •
the neighborhood, hence granting the variance will not
• result in a structure out of character with the rest of
the neighborhood.
E) Even with the proposed additions, the property will
meet a1l �hardcover and 1ot coverage limitations.
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.
