icLO T CITY OF ORONO °1011111IL RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL C,� NO. 7577 j'I EsHO4-�' defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter 78; this condition is not applicable; and C6. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located; this condition is not applicable as farm animals are permitted as a conditional use in LR-1A zoning district; and C7. The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling; this condition is not applicable; and C8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property; the Property and its similarly-sized neighbors to the north are in a peculiar location for substandard lots. Although each property is below an acre in size, each property backs up to the significant undeveloped acreage of Wood-Rill Scientific and Natural Area; and C9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located; the Property is surrounded on two of four sides by Wood-Rill Scientific and Natural Area, land that can buffer and screen the potential impacts of the pigeons and their enclosure, despite the substandard size of the Property; and C10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant; pigeons have been found to be a minimally impactful use for the Property and the granting of variances have been found to be necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of the Owners'property rights; and C11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter; the impacts of the proposed Farm Animals use to allow for pigeons on the abundantly screened Property are not anticipated to impact the health, safety, comfort or morals of neighbors or property in the area; and C12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty; the nonconforming size of the Property is outside of the Applicant's control. Given the abundant natural resources adjacent to the Property, approval of variances from the conditional use standards is necessary to address a practical difficulty. 4
