Our variance <br /> process is a two-part process. Once a variance application is received, Orono's planning commission holds a public <br /> hearing on their once-monthly meeting agenda. At the public hearing the planning commission receives testimony from <br /> applicants, City staff and the public on each request. The planning commission makes a recommendation on the request <br /> which is then brought to the Council for a formal action or decision. Your request to be placed on the next City Council <br /> meeting for action cannot be granted as it is not the proper procedural process. However I can work with you to put <br /> together a Variance Application to be heard by the planning commission at their November 18"' meeting. <br /> The official deadline for submitting an application for the planning commission's November meeting was yesterday. <br /> However, we received your email on Tuesday and can consider that a'�preliminary"variance application. I am available if <br /> you would like to go over this information in person but I have attached a link to the Variance AR li� cation form for your <br /> convenience. Please submit the application with signatures from all property owners wishing to participate in this <br /> variance request. <br /> Also required are the following: <br /> • $700 application fee; <br /> • $700 escrow; <br /> • A survey for each property meeting our attached survey standards and indicating the location of the proposed <br /> fence; <br /> • Plans and specs for the fence (already submitted); and <br /> • A certified list of property owners (within 150 feet of each of the properties requesting variance approval) from <br /> Hennepin County. The County contact information is listed in the packet. <br /> 1 <br />
