NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Ninnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File �1604. 2.

The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on Ncvember 19, 1990, January 22, 1991, May 20, 199I and June 17, 1991. After receiving additional materials as requested from the applicant during the review process, the P lanning Commission on June 17, 1991 voted 5 in favor 1 against to recommend approvaT of the requested variance and conditional use permit for excavation of a half acre pond within a 1.5 Page 1 of 6 . _ � °� o �� o �-�:e��� C ITY o� ORONO �a ��,:� .,. ���, �, �� y,, .;tl� G1ti . � � RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL �kESII�4� NO. 2 9 8 9 acre designatecl wetland, with spoils disposal above the flood plain elevation on the site, based on the following findings: a) The area of the wetland has been used as a dumping site over many years. Applicant's stated intent is to remove the accumulated debris and haul it off the sites. This clean-up is considered a general improvement to the area of this wetland. b) The City Engineer has reviewed the project and has advised that all storm water and f lood plain management engineering requirements have been met so that there will be no anticipated adverse impact on Lake Minnetonka. c) The applicant's intent is to restore this area, after excavation, to a natural habitat character rather than a park-like setting, and the applicant has provided a suitable revegetation plan and planting schedule. 4. The Council finds that the proposed pona excavation project generally will have insignificant impact to the Lake �ased on the small size of the wetland and its inf luent watershed. The s light increase in storm water storage is considered a benefit to the area, and removal of debris accumulated in the wetland basin coupled with creation of an open water pond and retention of the natural characteristics of the wetland area, will generally have a positive impact on wildlife habitat. It is the stated intent of the City in approving the requested variances and conditional use permit that the wetland be restored to a natural character rather than revert to a manicured park-like character. 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 clistrict; 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 Page 2 of 6 . . __ � °� O YV O ��� C ITY of ORONO ,� ��'�' ., : � ���, '.:1��"�� � �� r A ` �° G'�' RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCI L ��kESII04� NO. 2 9 8 9 nreserve 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. 6. The City Council finds that granting a conditional use permit to allow the proposed excavation, filling anc3 grading within a designated wetland area wil 1 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 P lan of the City. CONCLIISIONS, ORD$R AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.55, Subdivision 8 and grants a conditional use permit per Sections 10.55, Subdivisions 10 - 12 and Section 10.03, Subdivision 19, to allow land alterations within a designated wetland per the approved plans attached as Exhibit A, subject to the fol lowing conditions: 1.
