City of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. <br />10. On February 27, 1984, Lonie Fisk of 723 'Water Street, Apt. <br />103, Excelsior, MN 55331 and son of Curtis Fisk applied for a <br />lot area and lot width variance. <br />11. In a sworn affidavit and in oral comments made before the <br />Planning Commission and Council of the City, the applicant has <br />sworn "That, prior to purchasing the property, t had no notice <br />that there might be zoning defects relating to the property. <br />That 1 checked with an official of the City, who did not inform <br />me that there were zoning defects with respect to Lhe property." <br />Applicant has produced no other evidence regarding the identity <br />of the official to the alleged conversation. <br />12.

The applicant contends the City will deny him equal treatment <br />and protection undo - the law if we deny him a building permit <br />because the City has approved building permits for lots requiring <br />the same degree of variances if not greater than those sought by <br />applicant. Staffs review of the City's pact actions on <br />variances granted for the substandard, severed lots reflects the <br />following: <br />4 <br />
