NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS l. This application was revie�ved as Zoning File #O1-2701. 2. The property is located in the LR-1C ('/2 acre) One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on August 20, 2001 and recommended approval on a vote of 7 to 0 for variances based upon the following findings and hardships: Page 1 of 6 / Q � � � 0 , CITY of ORONO ,� � �� G'� ' RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL �kEs_K� nto. 4 6 8 � � A. The proposed garage would be located to the rear of the house because it is the only location detached structures can be built. Locating the garage in front of the house would not be allowed as zoning ordinances do not permit accessory buildings to be located closer to the street than the principal dwelling. The only place on the property the garage could be located and meet required setbacks is in the center of the back yazd. B. Locating the garage to the reaz of the house would make access to the garage difficult due to the need to have a driveway wrap around the existing house to provide access. A driveway that does not have direct straight in/straight out access would be a difficult manoeuver for a vehicle. C. A gazage meeting the 10' setback would also pose two other issues, a longer driveway requires a greater amount of hardcover and the garaDe w�ould take away the ability for the property owners to use their back yard. D. The 5' setback would allow a straight in/straight out access to the garage and would not require any change to the property access. The 5' setback allows the adjacent property owner the ability to build within 5' of the property line and maintain the 10' required distance between structures. The proposed garage will be approximately 12' from the nearest point of the neighboring residence structure. 4. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property aze peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting 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, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.

The existing caz port shall be removed from the property prior to completion of the garage. 3. Authorities granted by this variance run with the property not with the applicants, but are permissive only and must be exercised by application for a building permit within one year of the date of Council approval, or this variance will expire on that date (September 10, 2002). 4.
