After <br /> discussing the matter with the City Attorney and other staff, we have concluded that a columbarium or <br /> placing urns containing ashes in the ground would constitute a cemetery. Orono zoning code does not <br /> make provision for cemeteries so St. Edward's would have to request that the zoning code be amended <br /> to allow cemeteries. <br /> Your third alternative, scattering the ashes in a garden, would not be considered a cemetery and would <br /> not require any City approvals unless there was earth movement or retaining wall required to create the <br /> garden. This would require a land alteration permit. <br /> If you have any questions feel free to contact me. <br /> Sincerel , <br /> �/ <br /> � �� <br /> Evelyn Turner <br /> City Planner <br /> 952-249-4623 <br /> eturner@c i.oron o.mn.us <br /> File: 865 Ferndale Road North <br /> Telephone(952)249-4600 • Fax(952)249-4616 <br /> www.ci.orono.mn.us <br />
