4. The City Council reviewed this application at a re�ular nleeting held on August 14,
2006 and on a vote of 3-0 directe.d City staff to draft a resolution for approval of the
lakeshot-e setback and average lal:eshore setback variances.
5. The City Council inakes the following findin�s in support of the requested variances:
a) The plat of Freuch Creelc was approved in 1985 as a Planned Residential
Development(PRD)which allowed the lots to be smaller than 2.0 acres,with
setback requirements of 35' front and rear, 25' sides. The existing home on
applicants' property was constructed in 1988, at a time �vhen French Lal:e
�vas considered for code administrative purposes as merely a wetland,
reqttiring only a 26' wetland setbacic for structures. The existing home was
constructed to be si�lificantly more than 26' from the apparent wetland
boundary at that time and meeting all other City rec�uirenients.
b) uz 1991 the Minnesota Wetland Consei-vation Act carne into effect,
establishing delineation methods and development regulations with regards to
�vetlands. In 1992 Orono adopted its Shoreland Ordinance �U1S112I1t t0
requirements of the MnDNfZ, which henceforth defined French Lake as a
Natural Envirorunent ("NE"j Lal<e, requiring a i 50' setback ior structures
from the OHWL. The OHWL was designated as elevation 930.0' after a
studv of the French Lake basin bv DNR officials.
c) The City Council in 1992 fully reco�lized that a number of existing homes
would become non-conformin�as a result of the designation oFFrench Lalce
as "NE". The Cotuzcil has since then granted a number of variances for
additions to existin� nonconfonnin� residences around French Lake, the
outcome dependent on the merits of each indi��idual application.
d) The existing residence is a 2-level��•allcout, approximately 3�' x 80' �vith a 3-

end of the existing residence extends the len�th of the house as vie�ved from
the north and south, The length of the house �vill expand from about 90' to
about 13�'. Visually, it ���ill expalid tlle ���idth and i�iass c�f tl�e hoi�le as
vie�ved from across French Lake. Virtually the entire addition �vill be less
tllan 150' fronz the OH��rL.

e) From a visual perspective, Council concludes that approval of the requested
setback variance will have little impact in the neighborhood, and little visual
impact as viewed from across French Lake. At 135' in length, the proposed
house will not be inconsistent in its bulk or massing with many other esisting
large homes that surround French Lake at setbacics of less than 150'. Because
the lot is wooded, the visual impact of the addition from across the lake will
also be softened. The opportunity does exist, however, to provide some
additional screening vegetation between the lake and the addition.
� With regards to the average lakesllore setback,because the lot is wooded and
due to the relative separation and angles of adj acent homes,neither of the rivo
abutting lalceshore residence lake views will be impacted by the addition.
g) The applicants have confinned the site has septic systern capability to serve
the proposed addition.
r.) The City Er.gin�e: has made certain receinmendatior.s u�ith regards to site
drainage that should be adhered to.
6. The City Co�mcil has considered this application including the findings and
recom.ne:�dations ef the Plar�nir.� �on.mission, reports by City staff, con:ments by
the owner,the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed variances on
the health, safety and�velfare of the community.
7. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it
and do not apply generally io other propei-ty iii this zoning district; that �-anting 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 applicants and owner,but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable
hardship or difficulty; is necessary to presen-e a sub5tailiial property right of the
owner and applicants; and «�ould be in keepir.g ���ith the spirit and intent of the
Zonina Code and Comprehensive Plan ol the City.
