Jensen (hereinafter "the applicant") is the owner of the property located at 2700 Ethel Avenue within 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.

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. • Page 2 of 4 f N . �, . i �� i _ , � ;, CltV�j o� ORONO � . . s �t'j-.� V • � � RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL • � '�._� NO. 2834 • - � �`� CONCLIISIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the findings noted above, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.25, Subdivision 6 (B) to permit the construction of a second story addition, three season porch and deck, such additions being located 2.8' from the left side 1ot line where a 10' setback is normally required, and 16.8' from the street Iot line where a 30' street setback is normal ly required, subject to the following conditions: 1.
