NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #01-2695. 2. The property is located in the RR-1A (5 acre) One Family Rural Residential Zoning District. Page 1 of 5 . . (4d OCITYof ORONO ,,,, 1. -- ,t, •, 0,11- sc.,, RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL �SH� NO. 467 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on July 16, 2001 and recommended approval on a vote of 7 to 0 for variances based upon the following findings and hardships: A. The existing lot area is 4.0 acres excluding wetlands, 4.8 acres including wetlands. The applicants property is one of many lots with a lot area just under 5 acres along Orchard Park Road. The lots east of Orchard Park Road are developed residentially. Relocating the house on this property will not change the use or character of the property. The existing house is located only 20' from the side lot line and 41' from the front property line. B. No setback variances for the new house location are required. C. In 1992 the City of Orono issued a permit for construction of a garage. The garage is the accessory building that would remain on the property following relocation of the house. The building is functional but has not been completed. 4. 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 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. 5. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community.

The accessory building shall be completed and a final inspection approved prior to issuing any permits to permit the house to be moved and/or remodeled. 2.
