(29.0 %) 7,401 s.f. (27.2 %) <br />In reviewing applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the <br />proposed variance upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated <br />traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of <br />property in the surrounding area. The Planning Commission shall consider recommending <br />approval for variances from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances where their strict <br />enforcement would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique to the individual <br />property under consideration, and shall recommend approval only when it is demonstrated that <br />such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning Code. Economic <br />considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical difficulties also include but <br />are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall <br />be granted for earth-sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in <br />harmony with this chapter. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is <br />not permitted under this chapter for property in the zone where the affected person's land is <br />located. The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family <br />dwelling as a two-family dwelling. <br />According to MN §462.537 Subd. 6(2) variances shall only be permitted when (staff commentary <br />in bold type):
