CITY OP OROHO P. O. Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 473-7357 ZONING FILS #1400 NOTICE OF PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Date of Notice: May 19, 1989 COPIES TO: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Larson 4285 6th Avenue North Long Lake, MN 55356 TYPE OF APPLICATION: XXXX Variance _ _ Conditional Use Permit _ _ Subdivision Other DATE OF MEETING: 5/15/89 VOTE: For: Planning Coraiission recoamends the following: _ _ Approval as submitted _ _ Approval subject to conditions noted below Denial for reasons noted below 6; Against: 0 XXXX Tabled for reasons noted below _ _ No action required NOTES AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS: In light of your reaction of "disappo;’ntment" at the May meeting of the Planning Commission, it is hoped the following comments will provide background and a clearer perspective of the review of your varia ice application. The Orono Planning Commission has been working on a major ordinance amendment for accessory structures since the first scheduled public hearing in July of 1987. All work on that ordinance amenIment and other amendments of the Zonin^ Code ceased in the late summer of 1988 when all planning efforts were refocused on a Planned Dnit Development and Highway Commercial District Ordinance for the Highway 12 Corridor. An interim ordinance (moratorium) had never been considered since that public hearing and the City staff has continued to accept variance applications. In fact a similar varii.nce application was reviewed by the City at a previous Planning Commission Meeting, at which staff advises that you, Mrs. Larson, attended. That earlier application was tabled at the May 8th Council Meeting because it appeared that the Planning Commission was reaching a resolve of the issue of the relationship of allowed size of an accessory structure to the area of a property. The setback standards appeared to never be an issue, as all agreed that an oversized accessory structure must meet the principal structure (residence) setback for the zoning d’strict.
