within staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid memos, all minutes from the

s�, G� No. 6_ 8 $ 5
`�KES H 0��
above mentioned meetings, and any and all other materials distributed at these meetings
are hereby incorporated by reference.
2. The Property is located in the LR-1 C Zoning District.
3. The Property contains 0.32 acres in area and has a defined lot width of 75 feet at the
lakeyard setback.
4. The Property is within Tier 1 and hardcover is limited to 25 % according to the Stormwater
Quality Overlay District.
5. Applicant has applied for the following variances:
a. Average Lakeshore Setback
b. Hardcover which exceeds 25%
6. In considering this application for variance, the Council has considered the advice and
recommendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed variance
upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic
conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values
of property in the surrounding area.
ANALYSIS:
1. "Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes
and intent of the ordinance . . . ."The applicant has worked to mitigate the encroachment by
proposing the deck be placed over an existing patio. The stairs will add 55.5 sq.ft. of new
hardcover to the property. The new deck will not change or alter the sightlines for the
neighboring property owner.
2. "Variances shall only be permitted . . . when the variances are consistent with the
comprehensive plan." The variances resulting in a permit for construction of a deck in a
residential zone are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. "Variances may be granted when the applicant for the variance establishes that there are
practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. 'Practical difficulties,' as used in
connection with the granting of a variance, means that:
a. The property ownerin question proposes fo use the property in a reasonab/e manner,
however, the proposed use is not permitted by the o�cial confrols.
The applicant is proposed to build a deck over an existing patio and only increasing the
hardcover on the property to construct stairs for the proposed deck. The deck is located
on the south side of the property,abutting an unimproved right of way which will not

intrude on any sightlines to the lake in the average lakeshore setback. The proposed
improved seems reasonable for the property.
b. The plight of fhe/andowner is due to cir�umstances unique to his property not created
by the landowner.
The property is unique in size and width and received variances in 2012
c. The variance, if granted, will not alter fhe essential character of the locality."
The requested variances will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood.
4. "Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties." Economic
considerations have not been a factor in the variance approval determination.
5. "Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight
for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as
defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter
78."This condition is not applicable.
6. "The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under
Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is
located."This condition is not applicable,as the use for a single family home is an allowed use
in the LR-1C District.
7. "The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling
as a two-family dwelling."This condition is not applicable.
8. "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such
property or immediately adjoining property." The property abuts �ake Minnetonka with one
neighbor set 83.7 feet from the lake on the north and an unimproved right of way to the south.
This property must follow the existing setback set by the property to the north. The proposed
deck is on the south side of the home away for the one neighbor and should not interfere with
the sightline of the lake.
9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the
land is located." The shoreline slightly curves and the lot is uniquely shaped with the
unimproved right of way bending around the west and south side of the property.
10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant." The applicant has stated is improvement is
necessary to grant more accessible access to the lake.
11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or
morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter." Granting the

requested variances wil) not adversely impact health, safety, comfort, or morals; nor will it be
contrary to the intent of the Code.
12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but
is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty."The topography, unique shape and location
of the property create practical difficulties affecting this property. The applicant was working
with the footprint of the existing patio minimize any encroachment;the variances are necessary
and do not merely serve as a convenience to the owners.
