The application was tabled at that time due to an issue <br />rel.atingto the location of one of the cabins only 1,5’ from the new proposed property line. At issue was the <br />State ofMinncsotaUuildingCode requirement that buildings with openings (such as window sand doorways) <br />can not be located closer than 3 ’ to a property line. Further, all walls exposed to the propetly line are also <br />required to be fire resistant. The purpose is to eliminate the potential for fires from spreading from one <br />propetly to another. <br />The propeily owners had suggested they enter into an agreement with the City of Orono that they would <br />agree to remove the cabin within 30 months from the approx al of the lot line rearrangement. The C ity chose <br />not to enter into the agreement because of the difficultly the City may have with requiring the cabin to be <br />removed if it were still on the property after the 30 month time pet iod expires. Rather than entering into an <br />agreement the City and applicant had placed the approval on Itold until some time after the cabin was <br />removed. <br />The property owners have notified the City that the cabin has -ecently been removed and they wish to <br />complete the lot line rearrangement.
