request is in harmony with the purpose of the ordinance. Orono history is rooted in agriculture and this <br />property is designed to hold true to the small farm spirit. <br />Practical Difficulties—There are a combination of practical difficulties that make the proposed barn location <br />necessary. <br />1. The Conservation Easement with the MN Land Trust —The property has been subject to a Conservation <br />Easement since 1994. The key restrictions are a very limited 1.6 acre build envelope that the proposed <br />house and barn are allowed to be built into. Setbacks, driveway access, and trying to save a mature stand <br />of trees in the NW corner further pushes the buildings south and east. <br />5263 10531 0 Z J� fix___ rv0l0ZU UU <br />�i� 0.5l 045. wfi.4 9r.. <br />�� <br />uM a 5� �MM ELM 8' / eQ50 2 <br />-L <br />Ss 6 �w yo n <br />10ss M.a e <br />°Px 6 <br />o <br />22 <br />P1a <br />__ z°.�i o u• Pie' 0� � 'SPR zx os � �� aa5i.4 Lsi050.9 ��.� �� `� � �� �A � �O V A � V � � <br />R 12 <br />i 22' -�)�� N `iasz.�� o� o io 'F �.

Physical limitations of the site - <br />The horse pasture and farm fields are all east and south of the <br />building envelope. It would not be practical to have the barn <br />located opposite of the agricultural area of the property. The <br />barn is designed as a "drive out basement" style barn in order <br />to accommodate enough space for farming equipment to be <br />stored on the 1St and 2nd levels. A structure with a larger <br />footprint would be a more economical solution, but this is <br />limited by the Conservation Easement. This in turn requires a <br />gentle slope as shown in Figure 3. The existing and proposed <br />elevation contours can be seen in Figure 2. The western 2/3 of <br />M <br />Figure 3 — Barn Elevation <br />
