McCurdy (hereinafter "the applicant") is the owner of the property located at 4041 North Shore Drive within the City of Orono (hereinafter "City") and legally described as follows: Lots 7 and 8, and that part of the Easterly 11 feet of Lot 9 lying Northerly of a line described as follows: Commencing at the intersection of the Westerly line of said Easterly 11 feet with the Northerly line of said Lot 9 ; thence Southerly along said Westerly line a distance of 157.25 feet to the point of beginning of the line being described; thence deflecting left to a point on the East line of said Lot 9 distant 217.3 feet Southerly from the Northeast corner of said Lot 9, and there ending, Highwood Lake Minnetonka, Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter "the property"); and WHEREAS, the applicant has applied to the City for a variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22 Subdivision 2 to permit the construction of a 7'x18' second story deck resulting in 119 s.f. of additional structural hardcover within the 75-250' setback area where there already exists 6, 690 s.f. or 38.6% hardcover where only 25% is allowed. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1700. 2.

'l''� ''fy �;�tl�' Gs � RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL xEl � .06) NO. 3116 SKp 3. T e Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application in an earlier application involving increases in hardcover within the 75-250' setback area in 1986 (File #1088 ). Hardcover inventory was determined by the Orono staff and was reported at 5, 907 s.f. or 28.6%. The current survey of hardcover by a licensed surveyor shows hardcover within the 75-250' setback area at 6, 990 s.f. or 38.6%. The applicant has added no additional improvements resulting• in increases in hardcover since the 1986 review. 4. The Orono City Council reviewed this application on April 27, 1992 and conceptually recommended approval of the proposed variance based upon the following findings: a) The proposed second story deck will not result in an increase in hardcover within the 75-250' setback area as the deck will be installed over an existing grade level patio. b) There has been no increase in hardcover since an earlier variance review in 1986 that involved approval of hardcover variances. c) Steep topographies of this property make it unfeasible to remove existing paved areas needed to provide adequate turnaround maneuverability on site. 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 variance 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 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 intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. 6. The City Council has considered this application including reports by City staff, oral and written comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
