As you may be aware,the RS Zoning District <br /> regulations(which govern land uses on Big Island) are quite complex. Your submittal includes a 12'x 24' bunk house, <br /> which includes a bathroom. If there is a legal permitted use on the property(your seasonal cabin), an additional <br /> habitable building, between 400 and 600 square feet, which does not include a bathroom can be permitted with a <br /> building permit. The inclusion of the bathroom facilities in your proposal is what has triggered the need for the CUP. <br /> If you wish to pursue the CUP option I would be happy to meet with you to discuss the process. One thing you should be <br /> aware of is that the RS District requires that all habitable buildings meet certain minimum standards (also listed below). <br /> A guest cabin must be at least 400 square feet in area and cannot be narrower than 20-feet in width at the narrowest <br /> dimension. <br /> If you remove the bathroom facilities you would still need to increase the square footage to 400 square feet and meet <br /> the minimum width requirement. I have highlighted relevant sections of the RS District code excerpts below for your <br /> information. <br /> Please contact me to discuss your options at your convenience. <br /> Melanie <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> Planning &Zoning Coordinator <br /> City of Orono <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway <br /> Orono, MN 55356 <br /> Direct Dial: 952.249.4627 <br /> Fax: 952.249.4616 <br /> Planning &Zoning Office 952.249.4620 <br /> Email: mcurtis ci.orono.mn.us <br /> Website: www.ci.orono.mn.us <br /> Summer Hours: (Monday, May 24th through Friday, September 3rd) <br /> M - Th7:30amto5:00pmandFri7:30amto11:30am <br /> LINK to Orono Municipal Code <br /> Sec. 78-564.
