CITY of ORONO October 23 , 2007 Michael Hays Homes 224 Walker Avenue N . Wayzata MN 55391 Dear Mike: Street Address: 2750 Kelley Parkway Orono, MN 55356 Municipal Offices Mailing Address: P.O . Box 66 Crystal Bay , MN 55323-0066 Your application for a permit to build a detached garage at 1449 Bay Ridge Road is denied based on Planning Director Mike Gaffron's finding that the proposed garage would have a negative impact on neighboring properties because the yards adjacent to Bay Ridge Road are maintained as formal front yards. Unless the proposed garage were placed close enough to the principal structure that it appeared to be attached to the house it would be out of character with the rest of the Bay Ridge Road neighborhood. Also , the proposed location does not satisfy the 30-foot side setback requirement. The specific code sections are : 1. 78-1, Definitions: Through lot means a lot which has a pair of opposite lot lines abutting two substantially parallel streets, and which is not a corner lot. On a through lot, both street lines shall be front lot lines for applying this chapter. 2. 78-1431 : Accessory buildings and structures on through lots , specifies that all accessory buildings and structures on through lots located in R districts shall meet the following requirements : (1) The building or structure shall meet the principal building setbacks that are established under sections ... 78-305 .... (2) No negative impacts to adjacent neighbors or public right-of-way result in the placement of the building or structure, determined at the discretion of the planning director. Should the planning director determine that item (2) above cannot be met an accessory structure or building may be permitted by conditional use permit if the planning commission determines no negative impacts result in the placement of the building or structure. The planning commission may apply reasonable conditions as part of the approval. An application for a conditional use permit may be found at the City 's website (www.ci .orono .mn.us -select licenses and permits from left hand menu, then permits from left hand menu , then scroll down to CUP under applications) or you may pick up a packet at City offices.
