NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono,
Minnesota:
FINDINGS
1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File number 14-3670.
2. The Property is located in the LR-1A One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning
District which requires a minimum lot area of 2.0 acres and a minimum lot width
of 200'.
3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on
May 19, 2014 and voted 7 for and 0 against on a motion to approve the
variances and conditional use permit. The Planning Commission finds that the
following factors support the granting of the request:
a. The Property has 10.1 acres ir� area (or 441,332 square feet). Including the
adjacent properties the Owners own approximately 15 acres of land.
b. The Property has approximately 400 feet of width at the OHWL and
_ approximately 407 feet at the 75-foot setback
c. The existing stair is deteriorated. The new stair is essential in order to access
the lakeshore over the steep slope and is necessary for the Owners'
enjoyment of the Property. The meandering in-grade stair will serve to better
protect and stabilize the slope than an above grade stair where erosion can
occur beneath.
d. The proposed additional hardcover resulting from the meandering stair and
low walls is reasonable, consistent with the comprehensive plan and will not
alter the character of the area.
e. The Owner has provided a landscape plan which will serve to screen and
mitigate views of the proposed stairs (and small walls) and armored swale
from the lake.
f. The hardcover within the.0-75' zone should not increase with the installation
of the new fake access stair and reorientation of the lake access path. With
approximately 54,372 square feet or 12.3% overall hardcover, the Property
will conform to the hardcover limitations of a Tier 1 lot.

kEsxo�
g. The proposed armored swa�e, meandering stair with low walls within the 75-
foot setback will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood and will
result in minimal or no negative impact on adjacent proper�ies.
h. The sub-grade retaining walls will be hidden under the earth and beneath
vegetation offering a natural looking shoreline from the lake.
i. The installation of the sub-grade retaining walls will help to support the slope
and, combined with the armored swale and vegetation plan should help to
improve storm water quality and prevent further erosion from the site.
j. The Owners have provided a landscape plan which will serve to stabifize the
slope as well as screen views of the proposed improvements from the lake.
k. The Owners have provided a plan to reorient the existing lake access path to
the new stair system which results in 16 square feet less hardcover within the
0-75' zone.
I. The Owners' request is in harrnony with the purpose and intent of the
ordinance, consistent with the comprehensive plan and will not alter the
character of the area.
4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and
recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by
the Owners and the public, and the effect of the proposed variances and
conditional use permit 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 variances and conditional use permit would not adversely affect traffic
conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring
property; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent 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 grants: a
variance from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1279 to allow construction of a
replacement lake access stair and new subterranean retaining walls within 75 feet of the OWHL
of Tanager Lake repair ravines caused by erosion and stabilize the slope; and variances to
Orono Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-1288, 78-1680 and 78-1700 to allow new hardcover
in conjunction with construction of a replacement lake access stair with low retaining walls within

75 feet of the OWHL of Tanager Lake where no hardcover is permitted; and a conditional use

grading for construction of subterranean retaini.ng walls, new stair system and landscape

storm water toward the lake and removal of the existing stairs within 75 feet of the OHWL on the
Property; subject to the following conditions:

the Owners and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A, B and
C. Any amendments to the approved plans which are not in conformity with City codes
will require further Planning Commission and City Council review.
2. Proposed overall hardcover levels are conforming to the Tier 1 standards; hardcover
within the 0-75' zone shall not increase above the approved level of 632 square feet.
3. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the Owner, but are
permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining permits for the project and
commencing construction of said project within one year of the date of Council approval,
or the approvals granted by this Resolution will expire on that date (June 9, 2015).
4. An as-built survey will be required upon completion of the project prior to refund of the
permit escrow.
5. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution
shall constitute a violation of the zoning code, shall automatically terminate any authority
granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor. �
6. The undersigned Owner has read, understands and hereby agrees to the terms of this
resolution and on behatf of the Owner and the Owner's heirs, successors and assigns,
hereby agrees to the recording of this resolution in the chain of title of the Property.
Adopted by the Orono City Council on the 9'h day of June, 2014.
