O ��� �� �� �;�^�;-> � . RESOLUTION OF THE CIT'Y COUNC �� � `��f�� ��, No. 3 4 � � � ' ' �,. G �9k�Es8og'� 5. On June 12, 1989, the City approved a metes and bounds division that divided the Hill School properry from the Minnetonka Art Center. b. From August 15, 1989 through September 11, 1990, the Art Center of Minnesota (formerly Mi.nnetonka Art Center) leased the facility from the new owner for the purpose of continuing use of the faciliry for art instruction purposes. 7. From the later part of 1990 through the present, the facility has served as a licensed day care and a dance school. 8. From the late 1800's to the present, the facility has never been used as a residential dwelling. �. As required by Municipal �oning Code Section 10.03, Subdivision 5, the applicant has filed for a conditional use permit to allow the continued use of the facility or a fine arts school offering full-tune instruction. 10. On April 18, 1994, the Orono Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the conditional use permit and variance based on the following unique findings: a. The use has existed prior to the creation of the single family zoning district through to present times without interruption. b. The use has had no detrimental effects on the surrounding residential neighborhood. c. The art school to be operated from the Hill School building will continue to share parking facilities of the Art Center of Minnesota consistent with the former comprehensive operation. d. The City has no record of vehicular accidents resulting from the use of the gravel parking areas along the east side of the properry adjacent to Briar Street.

The Council fmds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoni.ng 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 i.ntent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. 12. The City Council finds that granting a conditional use permit to allow the continued use of the facility as a fine arts school offering full-time instruction 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 concludes that applicant's proposed use of the property as a school of fine art instruction is a legal non- conforming use of the property and hereby grants a conditional use permit per Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivision 5. The Council further concludes that the configuration of the Hill School property and the historic back�round and school use of the property are unique and consequently grants a variance that would allow open parki.ng stalls within the required side street yard. This approval is subject to the following conditions: 1. Applicant has received approval of a variance to allow open parking within a required side street yard area as shown on approved site plan attached to this resolution as Page 7. Applicant shall be responsible for installing a median within Briar Street right-of-way as shown on said site plan to be completed by November 9, 1994. Applicant shall provide an updated survey locating travelled right-of-way of Briar Street.

If the non-conforming use of this structure is discontinued and remains discontinued for a period of twelve (12) months, any future use of the structure shall be in conformity with the provisions of the Single Family Residential Zoning District. 7.
