RECEIVED <br /> Ms. Melanie Curtis MAY 2 0 2015 <br /> City of 4rono <br /> Apri121, 20l 5 CITY OF ORONO <br /> Page Two of Three <br /> 3. uThe variance, if granted,wfll not alter the essential character af�e locality." <br /> The property will undergo additional development with a small2-level addition keeping the charaeter of <br /> the existing structure, including a small grilling deck. The pmposed addition will be added ta the east <br /> side of the existing home maintaining less than maximum height, and structural cflverage requirements, <br /> preserving and improving the essential character of the locality. The existing lakeside decks w�i11 be <br /> repaired wiih new guardrails,decking, and structwe as required to the same configuration as presently in <br /> place. <br /> 4. "Economic considerati�ns alone shall not constitute an undue 6ardship if reasonable use for tbe <br /> property exists under#he terms uf the Zoning Chapter." <br /> Economic consideratians are not any significant reason for redevelopment and the granting of variances. <br /> 5. "Practical difficulties include,bat ia not limited to,inadequate access to direct sunl�ght for solar <br /> energy syatems. Variances shall be granted for earth shel#ered construction as deftned in <br /> Minnesota Statutes,Section 116J.Ofi,Subd.2,when in harmony witi� this Chapter." <br /> This is not a reason for the variance requested. <br /> b. KThe Board of Appeals and Adjustments ar the Council may not permit as a variance any use that <br /> is not permitted under this Chapter for property in the zone where the affected person's land is <br /> located." <br /> This re�uest is consistent with the present allowed uses under the ordinance. <br /> 7. "The Board or Councll may permlt as a varfiance the temporary use of a one-family dwe�ing as a <br /> hvo-fAmily dwelling." <br /> This does not apply. <br /> S. "The special conditions applying to the atructure or land in question are peculiar to such prnperty <br /> ar 'rmmediately adjoining property." <br /> The specific conditions of this property are unique to this property,but also share some similar aspects <br /> of the adjoining properties,i.e., substantially non-conforming lot widths, road frontages, driveway <br /> easements, and nonconforming sizes, etc. Both adjacent properties have side yard setbacks that are <br /> substantially less than specified in the ordinance along both side property lines of subject property. T}ie <br /> property to the east is approximately 10',and the one to the west is approximately 13'. <br /> 9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which said <br /> land is located." <br /> The exact conditions do nQt apply generaliy to other land and sttvctures in the District. Lot conditions <br /> vary greatly and each must be judged on its own unique merits and liabilities of previously ganted and <br /> allowed non-conformities created by ever more restrictive land-use controls. <br /> 4 b � S e c o n d S t � e e t • S u i t e 1 0 0 .
