In 1981, Beito aQain applied for a variance to lot area and �vidth (File #627) concurrently �vith a similar application by the o�vner of the adjacent vacant Lot 6(Hans W'eiler,File#628). ��'eiler also owned the developed residential property directly across the road from Lot 6 (11=� North Arm Drive, PINS #07-117-23 14 0064). Beito and Weiler claimed that the increase in ta�es has forced them to apply for variances to make each lot buildable. 7. On July 20, 19S 1 the Orono PlanninQ Commission voted 6-0 on a moti�n to recommend denial of the variances for each individual lot, based on the lack of sufficient hardship and the followinQ findin�s: a) The o�vners have received substantial benefit in the use of these lots for private lakeshore access purposes. b) r�substantial property value remains in each lot since it can be sold for combination �vith the other. c) These individual lots are not unique or special since all nearby building sites(e�cept Heii Lot S) have been created by combination of 2 or more lots similar to these. d) Neither lo� has been assessed for sewer as a separate buildinQ site. e) Grantin� of two adjacent�0' lakeshore lots in a 140' minimum district is contrary to the intent of the zoninQ code. Combin�tion into one 100'�vide lot«ould at least meet the minimum DNR Shoreland mana�ement regulations.the LR-1 C '/�acre district lot �vidth , and be similar to most nearby lakeshore lot�vidths. S. On August 10, 1981 the Cit�- Council tabled the application at the applicants request and no fiirther action occurred re�ardin�the variance request. 9. In approximately 1991 Beito sold Lot 7 and 1169 North Arm Drive to Todd Van Den Einde. In July 1995 the current applicant, Kristi Roesler, purchased Lot 7 and 11 C9 North �rm Drive from Van Den Einde. Durin� each transaction, Citv files containinQ the history of variance denials w-ere available to the propert}- owners for revie��. 10. The curren? estimated market value for Lot 7 per HeiLnepin Cotintl Tax records for 2001 is ��0,000. The current estimated market value for adjacent Lot 6, ��hich is similar in status to Lot 7 as a separately o�vned vacant lakeshore lot and similar in area and �vidth to Lot 7, is $�0.000. Bv contrast, the current estimated niarket value for the land poRion of adjacent Lot 8 (��hich contains a residence structure and includes an additional 6,�00 s.f. of non- shoreline land because it is combined �vith Lot 19 across Elml��ood �venue) is �160,000.
