A RESOLUTION APPROVING
A VARIANCE FROM
MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE
SECTION 78-1279
FILE NO. LA19-000071
WHEREAS, Martha Myers Head is the Trustee of the Martha M. Head 2014
Qualified Personal Residence Trust(hereinafter the "Applicant")the owner of the property located
at 2090 Shoreline Drive and legally described in Exhibit A, attached (hereinafter the "Property");
WHEREAS, on August 21, 2019, the Applicant has made application to the City
of Orono for a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78- 1279 to allow construction
of home additions lakeward of the average lakeshore setback; and
WHEREAS, on September 16, 2019, after published and mailed notice in
accordance with Minnesota Statutes and the City Code, the Planning Commission held a public
hearing, at which time all persons desiring to be heard concerning this application were given the
opportunity to speak thereon; and

hereby approves the requested variance as described above based on one or more of the
following findings of fact concerning the Property:
FINDINGS OF FACT:

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 LR-1A Lakeshore Residential Zoning District.
3. The Property contains 3.76 acres in area.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL

t�KESHG4t
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 variance[s]:
a. Average Lakeshore Setback Variance
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.
VARIANCE PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY ANALYSIS:
1. "Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes
and intent of the ordinance . . . ."The proposed location of the home additions do not block
lake views of the adjacent property owners, and therefore is harmonious with the intent of
the Ordinance.
2. "Variances shall only be permitted . . . when the variances are consistent with the
comprehensive plan."The average lakeshore setback variance is consistent with the goals
in the comprehensive plan to protect lake views.
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 property in a reasonable manner,
however, the proposed use is not permitted by the official controls.
The variance requests are residential in nature and are reasonable considering the
unique nature of the property as a large peninsula on the lake. The relatively large
flood hazard area and existing improvements on the property creates difficulties in
locating a conforming structure.
b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created
by the landowner.
The location of the structures on the Property and configuration of the lot were not
created by the property owner.
c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality."
The visual impacts resulting from the additions proposed within the average
lakeshore setback will not alter the character of the neighborhood. Rather, the
2

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
y� G ' NO. 7n � O
lgKES H O��
home will not impact views from the lake nor will it appear to be more visually
obtrusive than the existing buildings on the property.
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 a residential home is an allowed use in the
LR-1A 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's location and orientation as a
peninsula, functionally an island, is unique. Due to the nature of the Property on the point,
the application of the average lakeshore setback requirement causes a practical difficulty.
9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the
land is located." The Property's location on the lake is unique and applies primarily to this
Property; the application of the setback requirement combined with the challenges of the
flood hazard area restrict the ability to improve the Property without a variance, creating a
practical difficulty.
10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant." The home can be reconstructed in kind.
However, the minimal relief from the ordinance allows for functional improvements to the
footprint, retaining the character of the lot and are consistent with the existing home.
Relating to the average lakeshore setback, this condition is met.
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 project
will not impair the health, safety, comfort, or morals of the public.

12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but
is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." Granting of the variance will resolve and
alleviate a demonstrated practical difficulty caused by the application of the average
lakeshore setback applied to the Property.
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 78-1279 to allow construction of additions to
the home lakeward of the average lakeshore setback, subject to the following conditions:
1. Council approval is based on the survey dated 08/02/19 by Egan, Field & Nowak Inc., and
building plans submitted by the Applicants and annotated by City staff, attached to this
Resolution as Exhibits B & C. Any amendments to the plans which are not in conformity
with City codes may require further Planning Commission and City Council review.
2. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the Applicant, but are
permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the new
construction and commencing construction of said project. A framing inspection must be
completed within one year of the date of Council approval, or the approvals will expire on
that date October 14, 2020).
3. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution shall
constitute a violation of the zoning code, shall automatically terminate any authority
granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor.
ADOPTED by the Orono City Council on this 14th day of October, 2019.
