FINDINGS OF FACT:
1
���p CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
�.�, G�` No. 6 S 9 T
t'�k�s H o�``
1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File # LA18-000067. The analysis contained
within staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid memos, all minutes from the
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 RR-1 B Zoning District.
3. The Property contains 0.24 acres in area and has a defined lot width of 75 feet.
4. The Property is within Tier 2 and hardcover is limited to 30% according to the Stormwater
Quality Overlay District.
5. Applicant has applied for the following variance[s]:
a. Side yard setback
b. Accessory structure forward of the principle structure
c. Front setback
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 proposed single detached garage is in harmony with the
intent of the City Code. The proposed location on a substandard lot forward of the principle
home and located in the front and side setbacks should not impede sightlines or change of
character of the neighborhood,which follows the general intent of the ordinance.
2. "Variances shall only be permitted . . . when the variances are consistent with the
comprehensive plan."Adding a detached single car garage as an accessory structure where no
garage is located on the property is 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 owner in question proposes to use the proper(y in a reasonab/e manner,
however, the proposed use is not permifted by the o�cia/controls.
2
���p CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
y�, �- No. 6 8 9 l
�
`qkESH���
Currently the property does not have any garage space, adding a single car garage in
the proposed location on a substandard lot is reasonable.
b. The plight of the/andowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created
by the/andowner.
The lot is substandard in area and width to the zoning district limiting the buildable area
on the site
c. The variance, if granted, will not a/ter the essentia/character of the/ocality."
The neighborhood has many substandard lots with structures places within the
setbacks of the zoning district. Adding a single stall garage to this property will not alter
the 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 perrnit 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 detached garage is an allowed use in
the RR-16 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." Most of the properties in the area already have
garages,this property is unique with no current garage structure and the substandard lot and
limited building envelope.
9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the
land is located."The applicant believed this to be true.
10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant."The applicant has explained this to be true to use a
detach garage is necessary to the use and safety of the property.

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."The proposed location
on a substandard lot should not impede sightlines or change of character of the neighborhood.
12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but
is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty."The applicant has stated this to be true.
CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS:
Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a
variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 781405, 78-1435, 78-1511 to allow a detached

property, subject to the following conditions:

Hello Kevin,
I am working with Melanie and I will be handling your variance application for your detached garage. I am looking
for a little bit more information for you application. I have attached a letter that outlines all the items that I need.
Please feel free to give me a call. I would be happy to answer any questions.
Thank you
