ALSO, Lot 1 , Block 8 , "Bayside Addition to Lake Minnetonka", EXCEPT the west 150' of said Lot 1 (hereinafter "the property" ) ; and WHEREAS, the applicant has made application to the City of Orono to permit construction of a detached two-car garage, requiring a variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.23, Subdivision 6 (B) to allow a front setback of 39' where a front setback of 50' is normally required, and a left side street setback of 37' where a side street setback of 50' is normally required; and a variance to Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 to allow hardcover in the 75-250' zone in excess of the 25% hardcover normally allowed; and a variance and conditional use permit per Section 10.55, Subdivisions 8 and 10 to allow construction in a f loodfringe sheet flow area. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1647 2. The property is located in the LR-lA Single Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. TRANSFER ENTERED Page 1 of 7 DERE,OF PROPERTY TAX&PUBLIC RECORDS NOV 12 1991 HGJ1 CO N 8Y 1 �DEPUTY 01- o CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL ��$ES io NO. 3000 3. The property is approximately 0.27 acre in area, contains a portion of the creek leading from Classen Lake to Stubbs Bay, and has not been provided with municipal sewer. 4. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on July 15, 1991 and recommended approval of the proposed variances and conditional use permit as described above, based on the following findings: A) The proposed garage to be located 10' from the existing house as required by Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivision 12, and to be located 26' from the creek as required by Section 10.55, Subdivision 8, replaces an existing garage located only 5' from the existing house and only 14' from the creek. Therefore, in those two respects the new garage will be conforming whereas the old garage was non-conforming. B) The setbacks from the front street lot line and the side street lot line are proposed to be 39' and 37' respectively. The 11' front street setback variance is justified in that the garage will still be behind the front line of the existing house. The side street setback variance of 13' is supported by the fact that substantial screening exists along Bayside Road so that the garage will not be obtrusive. C) Hardcover in the 75-250' zone under proposed "Option B" will be reduced from 33.9% existing to 28.9%, after removals of the existing garage and specific areas of plastic lined rockbeds. Hardcover in the 250-500' zone will remain below the 30% limit. D) Except for the area within the defined banks of the creek that traverses the property, the entire property is located in a f loodfringe sheet flow area, requiring that the floor of the garage be placed at least 1' above the 934' creek overflow elevation at this site. It is reasonable and feasible to construct the garage with a floor elevation of 935' . 5. Per Section 10.55, Subdivision 10 (B), the proposed garage meets the setbacks required by Section 10.55 , Subdivision 8, and in the sheet f low area will not restrict or obstruct any f loodf low nor will it raise the level of the floodflow. Page 2 of 7 O CITYof ORONO C� p� RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL �`q$ESH0 NO. 3000 6. City staff has verified that a previously existing tile line used for direct laundry waste discharge to the creek by a previous occupant of the property has been eliminated. The construction of the proposed garage will not affect the existing septic system nor will it affect any possible useable future septic system development on the property, because there are no conforming alternative drainfield sites on the property. 7. 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 properties; 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. 8. The City Council finds that granting a conditional use permit to allow the construction of a 241x26' detached garage within the f loodfringe sheet f low area will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the public, would not adversely affect light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring properties, nor will it depreciate surrounding property values and that the proposed level of use of the property will be in keeping with the intent and objectives of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to Municipal Zoning Code Sections 10.23, Subdivisions 6 (B) to allow a detached 241x26' garage to be constructed 39' from the front lot line and 37' from the side street lot line where 50' setbacks from those lines are normally required, and grants a variance to allow hardcover in the 75-250' zone of 28.98 where only 258 hardcover is normally allowed, and grants a conditional use permit and variance per Section 10.55, Subdivisions 8 and 10 to allow construction of said detached garage within a floodfringe sheet flow area, subject to the following conditions: Page 3 of 7 o _ - VOW o - M a*6 6) b70 ° _____ .... �. {, a ahs o_ W �Iq R: `C2� ror,�,ynrp�:•� ." 1 i 2'TZ r � -S - Qt�-- •6r�a-'" �` - �---�'�-SaS----�%ii►l1s�b�7,�`M�AI�Q--_- rts�IL3 brs od� 44 O 'b •e�� • p I�� •oF\ O - -- d' (�O ALJ-S'ivn4wc�'d° Ga'd�ltib 0) 10 5-8� rYT (V/fYtva: � - -T, ol n/OLLdO � - NO1J- 3s»o Lt TUS.?)ilUTy� �i�tU11U�) UTdDUUU[j VXU048UUTW ar -[Vrj O- UOT:TPPV 91JTSARV Is N.001 o � o ` = CITYof ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL SH0 NO. 3000 1.
