Pertinent Ordinances • Section 10. 31 --RS Seasonal Recreational District Condition of Property The lot contains an old cabin that is inhabitable. The roof has caved in and walls are falling. The applicant must apply to the City for a demolition permit and remove the existing cabin prior to new construction. A small wetland exists in the center of the property. It is a non-Orono wetland. The following activities on the property must meet minimum setbacks from the wetland. Structure 26' Grading/Fill 26' Septic Sites/Well 75' Property Access Big Island contains a network of platted roads that are undeveloped. Access to inland lots is provided by the platted right-of-ways. No permits or improvements are required to use the roads. The main concern for inland property owners is boat storage since they do not have riparian rights. Private property owners are not permitted to provide dock space or boat storage on their properties for access to inland residents and guests. Although permits would not be regularly issued, the City Council can grant permits for dock space or boat storage within public right-of-ways. Not more than one seasonal dock will be approved for access to any one property. In review and approval or denial of such permit, the Council will consider the topography and development of the locality. The dock must also conform to Lake Minnetonka Conservation District and City of Orono standards. Surrounding Properties The property is a landlocked parcel without lake access. Access to the property is via platted, undeveloped roads. A road is platted that is located adjacent to the east and southern portions of the applicant's property. The west side of the parcel is the Dr. Arthur Allen Wildlife Refuge (Hennepin County Parks). The north side of the property is a year round residence that is currently occupied. #2462 David Lovelace 220 Big Island Variance 4/12/99 Page2
