NOTICE OF VIOLATION OF ZONING CODE
May 25, 2006
Mark and Kristen Anderson
575 Oxford Road
Long Lake MN 55356
Mr. and Mrs. Anderson:
In response to several calls expressing concern about horses being kept near the lake I visited
your neighborhood yesterday. I found you are keeping two ponies on your property at the above
address. Their corral is immediately adjacent to wetlands and has no ground cover. In addition I
noted some sort of construction/earthmoving project was underway along your southerly lot line
between the house and the pony corral that has resulted in a sizable area with no ground cover
and a slope near the house that was disturbed during remodeling and as a result has no ground
cover.
Keeping the ponies on this property violates the following City of Orono code provisions:
LR-1A zoning district regulations -
Sec. 78-303. Conditional uses.
Within any LR-1A one-family lakeshore residential district, no structure or land shall be
used for the following uses except by conditional use permit:
(12) The keeping of domestic animals for noncommercial purposes, including horses
for the use of the occupants of the premises. A minimum of one acre in aggregate,
exclusive of one acre for the principal building, must be available for each animal
unit, except as set forth in this subsection. A minimum of two acres of open
pasture must be available for a single horse, and one additional acre must be
available for each additional horse. When the horses are kept stabled and do not
require pasture for feed purposes, the minimum pasture requirement may be
adjusted at the discretion of the council. Such minimum pasture acreage shall not
include wetlands as defined in section 78-1602. Any person keeping such animals
must comply with the provisions of this Code.

Sec. 78-1405. Nonencroachments.
7) Fences erected in all zoning districts are considered as a nonencroachment when they
conform to the following standards:
b. Lakeshore lots.
2. Fences within the required side yard of a lakeshore lot shall not exceed six
feet in height, and any portion located lakeward of the average lakeshore
setback line shall not exceed 42 inches in height. The term "average
lakeshore setback line" means a line drawn between the most lakeward
projection of the fence owner's principal residence structure and the most
lakeward projection of the adjacent affected principal residence structure.
3. Fences shall not be constructed within the defined lakeshore yard of a
lakeshore lot, i.e., shall not be located within 75 feet of the shoreline for
general development lakes.
Shoreland regulations -
Sec. 78-1290. Agricultural use standards.
(b) Animal feedlots must meet the following standards:
(1) New feedlots, if permitted, must not be located in the shoreland of watercourses or
in bluff impact zones and must meet a minimum setback of 300 feet from the ordinary
high water level of all public waters basins; and
(Per 78-1211 Animal feedlot means a lot or building or combination of lots and buildings
intended for the confined feeding, breeding, raising or holding of animals and specifically
designed as a confinement area in which manure may accumulate, or where the concentration of
animals is such that a vegetative cover cannot be maintained within the enclosure. For purposes
of this Code, open lots used for the feeding and rearing of poultry (poultry ranges) shall be
considered as animal feedlots. Pastures shall not be considered as animal feedlots when the area
enclosed as pasture is equal to or greater than 1.0 acre per animal unit.)
And wetland regulations -
Sec. 78-1606. Permitted uses.
(b) Within wetland buffer areas no land may be used except for one or more of the following
uses:
(1) Native vegetation, provided that no change is made to the ground elevation;
(2) Wildlife and nature preserves;
(3) Boardwalks, docks or other reasonable access to the wetland not exceeding eight
feet in width, poles that are less than two feet in diameter to be used for boardwalks and
bridges;
(4) Public and private flood control structures, ponding and drainage facilities and
associated accessory appurtenances as approved by the city;
(5) Environmental monitoring or control facilities, including those related to water quality
and wildlife regulation;

(6) Overhead utility poles and lines that are less then two feet in diameter, under-
ground utility lines and distribution equipment, light poles, traffic signals, traffic regulatory
signs, mailboxes and other equipment that provides an essential public service;
(7) Retaining walls if the city determines that the retaining wall will protect the wetland
from conditions of erosion, when approved as part of a wetland permit application.
The land alteration is in violation of the following City of Orono code provisions:
Shoreland regulations -
Sec. 78-1286. Topographic alterations/grading and filling.
(d) Except for those projects requiring permits for construction of structures, sewage treatment
systems and driveways, a land alteration permit will be required as follows:
(1) For movement of one through 500 cubic yards of material anywhere within the
Shoreland Overlay District, a staff-issued land alteration permit shall be required.
(2) For movement of more than 500 cubic yards of material within the Shoreland
Overlay District, conditional use permit approval by the city council is required in addition
to the required land alteration permit.
Wetland regulations -
Sec. 78-1601. Purpose and intent.
c) This article applies to, and wetland buffer areas must be created or existing buffer areas
must be maintained around, a protected wetland located partially within, wholly within, or directly
adjacent to the property in the following situations:
4) When any construction or land alteration activity that does not fall within the meaning
of 'redevelopment' has the potential to adversely impact a wetland. For purposes of this
section, "the potential to adversely impact a wetland" exists when all of the following
three conditions exist:
a. The portion of the property disturbed by construction or land alteration activity
drains to the wetland; and
b. The amount of grading exceeds 50 cubic yards or the construction activity
involves the disturbance of more than 5,000 square feet of area; and
c. The redevelopment activity results in a net increase in the square footage of
impervious surfaces that drain to the wetland, or results in the relocation of
impervious surfaces closer to the wetland, or results in changes to drainage
patterns (slopes, meander patterns, etc) that the city engineer determines will
increase the velocity or rate of runoff to the wetland.
The entire City of Orono code may be accessed at the City's website—www.ci.orono.mn.us.

This letter will serve as your notice that in order to avoid legal action by the City you must
do the following within ten days of your receipt of this letter:
1. Remove the ponies from the property and not return them or bring any other horses to
the property until you have received a conditional use permit and satisfied the conditions
of the permit.
2. Erect silt fence around all disturbed and/or portions of your property without ground
cover.
and further, by Noon on June 21 you must:
1. Seed and mulch, sod, or otherwise establish ground cover on the slope from your
house to the north property line that appears to be at final grade.
2. Make application for a land alteration permit OR restore the disturbed area to its
original grades and begin to re-establish ground cover.
You may find the application for a land alteration permit on the City's website or you can obtain
one at City offices on Kelly Parkway. If you have any questions call me at 952-249-4623.
If you wish to return the ponies to the property, you will also find an application for a conditional
use permit at the City's website. But please contact me before you begin to fill out the
application so I can let you know the specific information that will be required. I must also tell
you that City Staff will not recommend approval of a conditional use permit for horses on the
property.
Sincerely,'
Evelyn Turner
City Planner
