1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File # LA22-000028. 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.

yF G; NO. 7272
2. The Property is located in the LR-1A Zoning District.
3. The Property contains 1.86 acres in area and has a defined lot width of 230 feet at the
OHWL.
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) Hardcover in the 75' lakeyard
b) Buildings in the 75' lakeyard
c) Retaining walls in the 75' lakeyard
d) Side yard setback
e) Lot area
f) Wetland 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. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance.
The proposed variances are in harmony with the intent and purpose of the
Ordinance. The goal of the ordinance is to reduce or eliminate improvements in the
lake yard, the proposal shifts away from the lake yard as much as practical. This
criterion is met.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The proposed variances to
develop a nonconforming lot of record are consistent with the comprehensive plan.
3. The applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties.
a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not
permitted by the official controls; The request to permit construction of the
home on the substandard lot, in the proposed location within the lake, and
side yard setbacks, appears to be reasonable considering the Property's
reduced size and orientation with respect to the lakeshore. The hardcover
and retaining walls proposed within the lake yard appear to be reasonable.
The entrance monuments are reasonable within the wetland buffer and
lakeyard setback with a new location which improves to the setbacks.

b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; The
lake and its inlet limit the building envelope for the property. The
surrounding lakeshore is unique property feature of the lane and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The variances
are requested in order to permit construction of a home designed to fit the
character of the neighborhood according to the submitted information.
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-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 substandard size and
orientation with respect to the lakeshore creates difficulties which may also apply
to properties in the same neighborhood.
9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the
land is located. The Property's substandard size and orientation with respect to the
lakeshore creates difficulties which may also apply to properties in the same
neighborhood. However, the location of the lake surrounding the building envelope
is very unique to the Property.
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. Granting a lot area, side yard and lake
setback variances are necessary for the preservation of the property right of the
application. The variances for retaining walls and hardcover in the lakeyard
facilitate the use of the Property for the new home and are necessary for the
preservation of the property rights of the owners. The wetland buffer setback and
75 foot lakeyard setback variances are improving the accessibility of the lot and a
smaller footprint than existing infrastructure.
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 in this unique situation is not contrary to the intent of the
zoning chapter.

12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the
applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. The variances do not
merely serve as a convenience to the Applicant. The variances are necessary as the
Property has considerable practical difficulties affecting development.
CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS:
Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants
variances to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-305, 78-72, 78-1279, 78-1680, and 78-
1605 to allow construction of a new house and entrance monuments, subject to the following
conditions:
1. Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings.
2. The approved project shall conform to the survey and building plans submitted by the
Applicants and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A.
3. Any amendments to the plans which are not in conformity with City codes may require
further Planning Commission and City Council review.
4. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the Applicants, 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 variances will expire on
that date (June 27, 2023).
5. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution may
result in the termination of any authority granted herein.
ADOPTED by the Orono City Council on this 27th day of June, 2022.
