The Planning Commission sha!! consrder recommending <br /> approva!for variances from the litera!provrsions of the Zoning Code in instances where theirstrict <br /> enforcement would cause practrcat di�culties because of clrcumstances unique to the individua! <br /> property under consideration, and shall recommend approval only when it is demonstruted ihaf <br /> such actions wi!! he in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zaning Code. Economic <br /> considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical difficulties also inciude 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 fn <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 prflperty 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-famiky dwelling. <br /> According to MN §452.537 Subd. 6(2)variances shall only be permitted when (staff commentary <br /> in bold type): <br /> 1. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance. <br /> Detached garages and other accessory buildings are a common amenity assotiated <br /> with resldences and are allowed accessory structures withln the LR-lA zoning district. <br /> However, the intent of the Iecation and size restrictions of the Ordlnance is in part to <br /> regulate the development de�sity and eliminate a crowded visual feefing within rural <br /> neighborhoods. Planning Commtsslon must determine whether the dariances if <br /> granted would meet this intent. <br /> 2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The proposed structure is <br /> associated with restdential use which ls consisterrt with the comprehensive plan <br /> guiding of this and su�rounding properties for residential use. <br /> 3. The applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties <br /> a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not <br /> permitteci by the official controls; The praperly owner is proposing to use the <br /> property in a reasonable manner but the speci�c location and si:e aspects of <br /> the request are not permitted by the Zoning Code. <br /> b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. <br /> The plight of the property owner is in part due to the existing non-conforming <br /> locatien of the accessory building, which has been in this locadon and size for <br /> many years prior to thetr ownership;and <br />
