The variance, ifi granted, wilt not alter the essential character of the locality."

"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 sunl[ght <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 additions/improvements to a residential home <br />are permitted in the LR4B District. <br />B7. "The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of aone-family dwelling <br />as atwo-falit ily dwelling." This condition is not applicable. <br />B8.
