This is because these uses are more intensive than a seasonal cabin and need special considerations due to their island location. If your property has been actively used for one or both of the following purposes, you are entitled to apply for a conditional use permit (and variance if necessary) to continue that use: SECTION 34.363(a) : TO AUTHORIZE PRINCIPAL DWELLING USE: meaning any home or cabin that is used or occupied for 181 days or more in any one year; or any dwelling regardless of the duration of use if you wish to claim a Minnesota "principal residence" homestead tax credit. If the property is not homestead, and if your total annual usage is less than 180 days (6 months), then your use is allowed by the ordinance and you do not have to apply for this special permit. Note that even if you use the property a few days every month, it is the total number of days that count, not how these days might be spread throughout the year. SECTION 34.363(b) : TO AUTHORIZE A PRIVATE GUEST CABIN in addition to and on the same Record Lot as a principal dwelling or a seasonal cabin. A permit may also be issued for more than one private guest cabin on the same lot. Private guest cabins may be used solely by the occupants of the principal or seasonal dwelling, including their domestic employees, caretakers or non-paying guests. Private guest cabins shall not be rented or leased for compensation of any kind. If you have only one guest cabin 600 sq. ft. or smaller, constructed without indoor plumbing, toilets or kitchen facilities and used only for occasional additional sleeping space, then this use is allowed by ordinance and you do not have to apply for this special permit. � A separate application form is required for each of these uses. Detailed information is necessary to prepare an accurate permit, to speed-up the review, and to determine whether or not a variance is needed. IF YOU WISH TO APPLY FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, check one or both of the above uses and return this sheet to the City in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. You will be sent the application form by return mail. Your application will be processed with NO FEE REQUIRED if all necessary information is submitted to the City Zoning Office BEFORE JULY l, 1983. Applications received after that date will loose any "grandfather" rights and will be subject to all fees and other requirements of regular conditional use applications.
