BOAT CITY OF ORONO <br /> O RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> NO. 7411 <br /> 1�&ESHO�� <br /> up to six feet lakeward of the average lakeshore setback does not appear to be <br /> unreasonable considering the lake views from neighboring homes are not <br /> impacted. This criterion is met. <br /> b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not <br /> created by the landowner. The intent of the property owner was to submit a <br /> conforming plan. The application errors were not intentional; however, accuracy <br /> of submitted permit information is the Applicant's responsibility; and <br /> c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality." The <br /> variance will not alter the character of the neighborhood. <br /> B4."Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties." Economic <br /> considerations have not been a factor in the variance approval determination. <br /> B5."Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight <br /> for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as <br /> defined in Minn. Stat. §216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter <br /> 78."This condition is not applicable. <br /> B6."The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under <br /> Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is <br /> located." This condition is not applicable, as residential improvements are an allowed use <br /> in the LR-1C District. <br /> B7."The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling <br /> as a two-family dwelling."This condition is not applicable. <br /> B8."The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such <br /> property or immediately adjoining property." The depth of the lots, shape of the shoreline, <br /> and the setback from the lake of the adjacent homes creates difficulties. The majority of <br /> the home is completed and removing the encroachment is not a simple endeavor as the <br /> porch roof structure is integral to the structure of the overall roof and cannot be simply <br /> removed. <br /> B9."The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the <br /> land is located." The Property's shoreline orientation, depth of the lots, and the <br /> relationship between the existing home and the setback of the adjacent homes create <br /> difficulties for the owners. <br /> 3 <br />
