PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. LA22-000034 CONCEPT LANDSCAPING, 1350 REST POINT CIRCLE REQUESTS
VARIANCE FOR LAKEYARD SETBACKS TO REPLACE FAILING RETAINING
WALLS AND THE LAKE ACCESS STAIR SYSTEM.(STAFF: MELANIE CURTIS)
Jared Smith,Concept Landscaping,was present.
City Planner Curtis gave a presentation on the item,stating the subject property has an existing, aging
timber wall and stair system that is exhibiting signs of failure.The existing walls are tiered and support
the hillside to the lake. The configuration of the walls allows for some lake access stairs and deck
platforms. The bottom wall is located approximately 6 feet from the OHW(Ordinary High Water Line)
and the repair will be located one foot in front of the wall creating an estimated 5 foot setback from the
lake. In addition to the size of the block being used,there will be a batter which will further increase the
footprint of the walls. The Applicant has provided an engineer design for the wall construction and plan to
reconstruct all in-kind with the exception of the expansion due to the change in material.The Applicant
has identified the failing retaining wall and protection of the hillside as practical difficulties supporting
the requested variance.Additionally,they have provided supporting documentation regarding Practical
Difficulties and should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application.Regarding practical
difficulty, Staff finds the existing conditions of the retaining walls and the hillside are practical difficulties
which support the variance request.The new retaining walls would support and protect the slope. Staff
has not received any public comment on the application and recommends approval of the lake setback
variance for the improvements as proposed and suggests additional screening of the walls to preserve the
natural vegetative view from the lake where feasible.
Jared Smith, 8994 Zanzibar Lane,Maple Grove,represents Concept Landscaping and is present to answer
questions.
Chair McCutcheon asked if the same material will be used.

2. LA22-000035 ALEXANDER DESIGN GROUP,2659 CASCO POINT ROAD,REQUESTS
VARIANCES FOR HARDCOVER,LOT AREA AND LOT WIDTH IN CONJUNCTION
WITH REDEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY. (STAFF: MELANIE CURTIS)
Kristy Raasch,Alexander Design Group,and Atrion Faiola.Applicant,were present.
City Planner Curtis gave a presentation on the item and asked if the Commissioners received her email
that afternoon with revised plans to the application. The Applicant has provided revised plans in response
to the Staff recommendation of denial within the report.They are requesting variances in order to
construct a new home on a property with substandard area and width.According to the revised plans they
continue to request a hardcover variance to permit 29.2%hardcover where 25%is permitted; 32.1%
currently exists and the original request reflect 30.8%hardcover.The revised plan reflects a 214 square
foot reduction,they have eliminated the requested structural coverage variance and now show 20%
conforming structural coverage. The boat house or shed down by the lake is existing and is planned to be
rebuilt in-kind. The Applicant has stated that the size and width of the property provide challenges for
development.The nonconforming lot size limits the amount of building footprint and hardcover from that
of a conforming sized lot.They have provided supporting documentation and should be asked for
additional testimony regarding the application. In this neighborhood, Staff finds practical difficulties
inherent to the size and shape of the lot affecting the property which justifies the variances allowing
redevelopment.However,the proposed structural coverage level,hardcover level,and deck stair
encroachment into the side setback are not supported by practical difficulties.The plans have been
modified to reduce building coverage and resulting hardcover,and the side setback for the deck stair has
been eliminated. The Applicant submitted a neighborhood letter with signatures from neighbors; one
neighbor comment was received via email and distributed today and should be included in the public
record. Staff finds the lot area and width variances are supported by practical difficulty and Staff supports
granting those variances. Staff would additionally support some level of hardcover variance for the
redevelopment.Planning Commission should determine if revised hardcover level is supported by
practical difficulty.
Ms.Raasch stated with the lot being substandard they found it very difficult to get to the 25%and
because the lot has an existing boat house it is also adding to the structural coverage and hardcover. She
noted they are trying to improve the parking with a side-load garage and driveway which will allow more
parking on their driveway and less on Casco Point Road.

Chair McCutcheon opened the public hearing at 6:18 p.m. There were no public comments.
Chair McCutcheon closed the public hearing at 6:18 p.m.
The Commissioners discussed the item.
Libby asked if the shed will be purely storage which is why they are looking at like-kind.
Ms. Raasch replied in the affirmative.
Chair McCutcheon noted it is an improvement and he would like to hear the Commissioners' opinion on
whether they are okay with the hardcover.
Kirchner's first thought is that it is an improvement,however this is a completely new structure and these
moments offer the opportunity to make it right and make it conforming to the hardcover. That is his
struggle and he is hung up on the hardcover variance,noting one can still build there it is just a matter of
size and hardcover.
Ressler is in support of this because 60 foot wide lots do not allow accommodation for structure in
general,although this is a deeper lot which gives some relief in the calculations.He noted they are
meeting lakeshore and north/south setbacks. In looking at the design as proposed he does not know if
there is a way to redesign without making more of a nuisance for the neighbors with parking spilling out
onto the street.He is in support of the application and feels practical difficulty is met because of the lot
width and mitigating circumstances, improvement to existing hardcover,and meeting the setbacks of
basically everything else.
Chair McCutcheon agrees. If it was a lot of massing it would be different but it is subtle,the garage is
basically attached to the house. He thinks it is a better layout,they are reducing hardcover, and it is safer
for the community and Applicant.He noted on that small of a lot,the Applicant does not have a lot of
options. Having the support of the neighbors also helps him with this application.
Erickson appreciates the effort they are making and that it is a narrow lot.However hardcover is still an
issue. In the past the Planning Commission was always quite strict if one has a small lot,then they build a
small house. Since that time they have seen people wanting a larger house on a small lot and then they see
variances with a number of variances already being approved.
Peterson was opposed to the application until the latest publication. He thinks this is good faith of the
builder and homeowner and would be in favor.
Ressler moved,Libby seconded,to approve LA22-000035,2659 Casco Point Road,as amended per
the application received today,July 18,2022. VOTE: Ayes: 4,Nays 2 (Kirchner,Erickson).
3. LA22-000038 DENNIS WALSH, 1354 REST POINT CIRCLE,REQUESTS VARIANCE
FOR LAKEYARD SETBACKS TO REPLACE FAILING RETAINING WALLS AND
THE LAKE ACCESS STAIR SYSTEM.(STAFF: LAURA OAKDEN)
Denny Walsh,Applicant,was present.

MINUTES OF THE
ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION
Monday,July 18,2022
6:00 o'clock p.m.
City Planner Oakden gave a presentation on the item,noting the Applicant has requested a variance to
construct a new retaining wall with a minor footprint expansion within the lakeyard setback.The property
has an existing timber retaining wall which has been deemed as failing.Pursuant to City Code 78-
1726(6), an emergency slope repair request was approved at the City Council on June 27,2022 as the
Applicant and an engineer showed that failure of the wall was an imminent threat to the slope. The
Applicant has proposed to construct a new retaining wall directly in front of the existing retaining wall
which is one foot wide and directionally bore anchors through the existing wall to hold it in place.The
existing wall will stay in place with a new wall built directly in front of it.The repair creates a new
footprint expansion within the 75 foot lakeyard. The engineer provided drawings and an analysis stating a
slope failure is imminent without this proposed project.The Applicant was issued a building permit on
July 7 and the project is shown to cross the property boundary onto 1366 Rest Point Circle;the owners of
1366 Rest Point Circle provided an email stating approval for the work that crosses the property
boundary. Staff finds the existing condition of the retaining wall,the hill,and the slope with imminent
failure are practical difficulties which support this variance request. Staff would like to hear comment on
screening of those walls to protect the natural vegetative view if possible.
Denny Walsh, 1354 Rest Point Circle,noted the retaining wall is 6-7 feet tall and 12 feet wide that is 40-
50 year old timbers that are failing. The hill has shifted so the wall looks"pregnant"and they cannot take
it down or the hill will fall down. Therefore they must build a wall in front of the wall infilled with sand,
rock, and anchors to keep the hill intact.
Chair McCutcheon opened the public hearing at 6:39 p.m.There were no public comments.
Chair McCutcheon closed the public hearing at 6:39 p.m.
The Commissioners discussed the item.
Libby noted he is not a structural engineer but is very familiar with this methodology of reinforcing walls.
He has had clients with similar circumstances on Eagle Bluff and this method is very practical and
minimizes the movement or potential encroachment into the lakeshore. He is in favor of this application.
Kirchner is also in favor,noting one is allowed to maintain a wall that is existing an in place.He thinks it
is incumbent for the Commissioners to note that 40 years later engineering and technology has evolved
and changed and this is, in a way,maintenance of the wall that is there.He does not think it is egregious
in any way.
Chair McCutcheon agrees,with the wall bowing already it needs to be done and this seems to be a
conservative approach.
Ressler noted once the lakeshore is gone one cannot put it back. It is best to get ahead of it. He is in
support of the application.
Libby moved,Erickson seconded,to approve LA22-000038, 1354 Rest Point Circle Variance.

Subject: LA22-000032, Petit Design- Barry Petit, 3349 Crystal Bay Rd,Variance,
Public Hearing
Application Summary: The applicant is requesting variances for hardcover and 75' lakeshore
setback to allow for a home addition and a deck addition to the existing home.
Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval for a home addition
and hardcover within the 75' lakeyard, building in the 75' lakeyard setback and overall
hardcover to exceed 25%.

• The property will meet the structural coverage requirements and the average lakeshore setback.
LA21-000052
August 15,2021
Page 2 of 5
Staff recommends reducing the overall hardcover for the property as part of this request. •
The property owners received a variance in 2015 (Resolution 6538)for the 2nd floor cantilever
and bathroom addition. The owners did not complete the approved project at that time;the
variances approved within Resolution No. 6538 have since expired. They are requesting the
approval for the additions using the same plans as 2015 with the new proposed deck addition at
the front entry way.
Practical Difficulties Analysis
Applicant Submittal Information:The applicant has identified the substandard lot area and
width and the existing conditions for the current home as practical difficulties supporting the
requested variances. They also noted the access to the property with respect to lakeshore,
Crystal Bay Road and the Dakota Trail as practical difficulties. The applicants have provided
supporting documentation regarding Practical Difficulties attached as Exhibit B, and should be
asked for additional testimony regarding the application.
Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: Regarding practical difficulty,Staff finds that there
are practical difficulties in the lot's size,width, and the configuration of the existing home and
access to Crystal Bay Road being completely within the 75' lake yard to support applicants'
request for hardcover and 75' lake setback variances.While the proposal expands the front
entry deck closer to the lakeshore, it is in character with the other homes in the neighborhood.

Applicable Regulations:
Hardcover;75-Foot Setback Variances (Sections 78-1680&78-1700)
The property's±116 feet of depth is challenging, particularly due to the applied average
lakeshore setback at approximately 67-feet from the OHWL,the 75-foot lake setback, and the
30-foot rear yard setback.The required setbacks leave an approximate±13 foot deep building
envelope. The proposed addition maximizes the allowable building envelope and is proposed to
encroach into the 75' lake yard. The applicant has designed the addition to follow the
neighboring homes and to meet the average lakeshore setback.
A variance is required when a property is over the allowed hardcover maximum and a project is
changing the nature of the hardcover from nonstructural to structural. The proposed hardcover
level of 43.7%,where 25% is allowed. The deck would add 22 sq ft of new structural coverage
where a driveway and impervious landscaping, nonstructural hardcover exists today.
Governing Regulation:Variance(Section 78-123)
In reviewing applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider 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. The Planning Commission shall consider
• recommending approval for variances from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances
where their strict enforcement would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique
to the individual property under consideration, and shall recommend approval only when it is
demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning
Code. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. 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. 14,when in harmony with this chapter. The board or the council may not permit as a
variance any use that is not permitted under this chapter for property in the zone where the
affected person's land is located.The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary
use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling.
According to MN §462.357 Subd. 6(2)variances shall only be permitted when:
1. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance. The
proposed variances are in harmony with the purpose of the Ordinance. The small lot
includes difficulties in its small size and width,and proximity to the lake. The lot is also
challenged by Crystal Bay Road which runs through the lake yard.The average lakeshore
setback is proposed to be met protecting views of the lake for adjacent properties.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The proposed variances to use
the property for a single family dwelling with 2"story home addition for a home and
deck addition for the front entry way 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
addition to an existing home on the substandard lot, in the proposed location
LA21-000052
August 15,2021
Page 4 of 5
within the lake setback appears to be reasonable as the property's reduced size •
and orientation with respect to the lakeshore, Crystal Bay Road, and adjacent
properties creates difficulties. The hardcover encroachments proposed within
the lake yard appear to be reasonable and the nature of the new hardcover will
be for a more usable front entry way.
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner;
The uniquely small lot size, width and location to the lake and roadway within
the LR-1C zoning district standards prevent a residential footprint consistent
with the neighborhood. The proposed additions and hardcover level are unique
to the property to serve the proposed home;and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The variances
are requested in order to permit construction of an addition to an existing home
designed to fit the character of the neighborhood according to the submitted
information.
Additionally City Code 78-123 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be
granted as follows:
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. 17, 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 r
located.This condition is not applicable, as single family residence 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's substandard size and
orientation with respect to the lakeshore, Crystal Bay Road, and adjacent properties
creates difficulties which also apply to many of the 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, Crystal Bay Road, and adjacent properties creates difficulties which also
apply to many of the properties in the same neighborhood. However the existing home
location unique to this property.
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. Granting hardcover and lake setback
variances are necessary for the preservation of the property rights of the applicant.
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 hardcover and lake setback 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 for lakeshore setback,
hardcover and lakeyard setback are necessary, and do not merely serve as a
LA21-000052
August 15,2021
• Page 5 of 5
convenience to the applicant as the property has considerable practical difficulties
affecting development.
The Commission may recommend or Council may impose conditions in granting of variances.
Any conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the
impact created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use
permitted in this chapter in the district where such land is located.
Engineer Comments
The City Engineer has not reviewed the proposed plan. A thorough review will be conducted at
the time of building permit.The current plan does not proposed any grading changes.
Public Comments
To date, no public comments have been received.
Issues for Consideration
1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the
property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control?
2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter the
essential character of the neighborhood?
3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the
impacts created by the granting of the requested variance(s)?
4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?

eThe property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by
the Zoning Chapter.
Response: N/A
2. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the
landowner.
Response: It is not unique to this property because all the original housing along Crystal Bay Rd was built
before contemporary zoning was adopted so every home is within the 75' lake-side setback. Therefore,
virtually any change to the lake-side facade requires a variance.
3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Response: Yes, it will not alter the local character.
4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties if reasonable use for
the property exists under the terms of the Zoning Chapter.
Response: Economic issues are not driving this request.
5. Practical difficulties 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
innesota Statutes, Section 1163.06, Subd. 2, when in harmony with this Chapter.

Variance Requests for Trent & Julie Jones
3349 Crystal Bay Road, Orono, Minnesota
Nanative:
Our request has two parts.Part One is the re-submittal of a variance proved on September 9,
2015,however,the Owner was unable to start the project within the time framework.Trent and
Julie Jones(a.k.a.Julie Lensing)are requesting the PC and Council to review the former
application and approve a new variance.
The two core points in the 2015 application were;1)Enlarging the second floor Master
Bedroom by expanding over the existing cantilevered Family Room walls below.The
variance was required because the changes occurred within the 75'setback.
2)No additional hardcover was added in 2015.
Part Two is a new variance request for the expansion to their very small 56.7 SF deck in order to;
1)regain lake views compromised by the remodeling of the home immediately to the west and
2)to make their two-person deck a bit more functional and comfortable.
Again this request has no additional hard cover,but happens within the 75'lake shore
�• setback triggering this variance application.
Outline of Variance Requests:
1 Renew the expired variance dated September 2015
2 Approve a variance for the deck expansion.
Note: There are no requests for side or rear yard setback changes.
Hardship Consideration:
1 The hardship explanation in the 2015 request remains the same as the original request.An
abbreviated part of the 2015 application is included in this submittal-pages 11,12 and 13.
2 The current north-facing deck is very small(56.7 SF)barely accommodating two people.
It had a full 180 degree view and sun exposure that kept it reasonably warm from April thru
August.The approved expansions of the home on their west side has impacted both their
view and sunlight. Expanding the deck by 79 SF regains most of sunlight and valuable lake
view.

2. The Property is located in the LR-1 C, One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District
which requires a minimum lot area of 0.5 acres and a minimum lot width of 100'.
3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application on August 17, 2015, the Planning

conforming 3rd story allowing for the construction of the proposed improvements to the
home; based on the following findings:
a). Excluding the area of Crystal Bay Road, the Property contains 5,152.8 square feet in
area (0.11 acre) and has 51 feet in width at the OHWL and 50 feet in width at the 75
foot setback.
b). The Property is approximately 120 feet deep which significantly limits the buildable
area. Other properties along Crystal Bay Road are very similar in that most have a
portion of their respective homes within the 75 foot setback.
c). The additions proposed are minimal and do not appear to result in a negative impact
on the adjacent properties.
d). The variance to allow construction proposed additions on the Property which is
substandard with respect to area and width will alleviate a practical difficulty inherent •
to the Property and was not created by the Applicant.
e). The Applicant's proposal results in no increase in hardcover above the existing 49%
where 25% is the maximum permitted for a Tier 1 property; similarly no increase in
structural coverage above the current level of 1,294.2 square feet is proposed.
f). The proposed setbacks do not exceed beyond the existing footprint and are not out of
character with this neighborhood. The home on west side of the Property at 3355
Crystal Bay Road is one story home; the Applicant's west side addition is unlikely to
impact existing views of the lake enjoyed by the neighbor at 3355 Crystal Bay Road.
g). The variance to construct the proposed additions to the residence is in harmony with
the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance.
h). The variance to permit improvements to the existing residence in a residential district
is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
i). The Applicant has provided a survey reflecting the limited building envelope on the
Property which is substandard lot area and lot width establishing that there are practical
difficulties.
j). The Applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by
the official controls;
k). The circumstances unique to the Property were not created by the landowner.

I). Construction of additions to the upper level of the home in a permitted location is limited
by the extent of existing home. The proposed project will be consistent with the
neighborhood, and will not adversely impact adjacent lakeshore properties.
m).The granting of the proposed variances will not in any way impair health, safety,comfort
or morals,or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter.
n). The granting of the requested variances will not merely serve as a convenience to the
Applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty.
4. The City Council considered this application at a meeting held on September 14, 2015
including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by
City staff, comments by the Applicant and the public, and the effect of the proposed
variances on the health, safety and welfare of the community as well as the impact on
• properties in the vicinity.
5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this Property are peculiar to it and
do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the
variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard
or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to
the Applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a practical difficulty;is necessary to preserve
a substantial property right of the Applicant;and would be in keeping with the spirit and
intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.

The applicant is proposing a 0 foot setback from the right-of-way. A moument sign is required

sign encoraching into the right of way but the new sign would not meet the required 5'setback.
The image above shows the existing sign in red and the proposed sign in blue.
Practical Difficulties Analysis
Applicant Submittal Information:The applicant has identified the substandard street yard due to
the existing location of the business. The applicant states the monument sign is necessary to
increase visibility of the business to aid in reducing traffic hazards.The applicants have provided
supporting documentation regarding Practical Difficulties attached as Exhibit B, and should be

Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: Regarding practical difficulty, Staff finds that there
are some practical difficulties in the lot configuration,with the location of the existing building
challenging traffic sightlines. Staff also acknowledges that the proposal will resolve the existing
right-of-way encroachment. However,the property has conforming locations for alternative
placement of a monument sign. The proposed monument sign an accessory use of the property
and the business is considered the primary use. The proposed 0 foot setback for the sign is a
convenience to the property owner and not a necessity for the primary use of the property.

Applicable Regulations:
Monument Sign Setback(Sections 78-1478(2)c.)
Monument signs shall be located at least five feet from any property line and shall not
project over the property line. Clear vision shall be maintained from all streets and
driveways.
The submitted survey indicates a 9.4 foot distance between the building and the right-of-way.
The applicant is requesting a 0 foot setback from the right-of-way where 5 feet is requried for
the proposed monument sign.The new monument sign is also creating 11.25 sq.ft of hardcover
over existing landscpaing. Staff recommends any new improvements placed within a city
easement be addressed with an encorachment agreement and an equal amount of hardcover
be removed on the property to maintain the existing level.
Governing Regulation:Variance (Section 78-123)
In reviewing applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider 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. The Planning Commission shall consider
recommending approval for variances from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances
where their strict enforcement would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique
to the individual property under consideration, and shall recommend approval only when it is
demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning

Code. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. 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. 14,when in harmony with this chapter. The board or the council may not permit as a
variance any use that is not permitted under this chapter for property in the zone where the
affected person's land is located. The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary
use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling.
According to MN §462.357 Subd. 6(2)variances shall only be permitted when:
1. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance. A
monument sign is an accessory structure and is in harmony with the intent of the
ordinance.The proposed location for the proposed sign with a 0 foot setback in not in
harmony with the ordinance.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The proposed variance to
facilitate placement of a monument sign on the commercially zoned property is
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
monument sign for an existing business with a nonconforming street yard
appears to be reasonable as the property has a reduced rear yard due to existing
conditions and its orientation with respect to the lakeshore creates difficulties.
The requested 0 foot setback for a larger monument sign then existing is
• unreasonable.
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner;
The existing improvements on the lot with the current building and substandard
street yard is unique to the property and not created by the landowner;and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The variance is
requested in order to permit construction of a monument sign will not alter the
character of the area within a commercial district.The proposed placement of
the sign abutting the road right-of-way is out of character and may pose a safety
hazard for vehicular traffic.
Additionally City Code 78-123 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be
granted as follows:
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. 17, 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 monument sign is an allowed accessory
structure in the B-2 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. Staff finds that the location of the existing
LA22-000037
August 15,2022
Page 4 of 5 •
building is peculiar but a reasonable building envelope is available for placement of the
monument sign in a conforming location.
9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which
the land is located. The location of the existing building and substandard street yard
does not apply to other properties in the district.
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.The new monument sign would be located in
the 5' property line setback. The applicant states the existing location of the business
and the curve of the right of way creates practical difficulty for the owner in allowing a
monument sign. Staff finds the use and enjoyment of the property is currently being
met with the existing business and a monument sign is and accessory structure not
necessary for the use 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 applicant
states proposed variance will not impair health,safety,comfort or in any other respect
be contrary to the intent of the zoning code. The placement of the substantial sign
within the right-of-way may pose safety concerns to vehicular traffic due to its location
and considerable increased mass compared to the existing wooden sign.
12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but
is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. The variance for the proposed
monument sign would serve as a convenience as the primary use of the property is met
with the existing business. The proposed 0 foot setback is a convenience due to the
conforming building areas available.
•
The Commission may recommend or Council may impose conditions in granting of variances.
Any conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the
impact created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use
permitted in this chapter in the district where such land is located.
Engineer Comments
The City Engineer reviewed and provided comments regarding the placement of a permanent
structure within the easement. The Engineer notes the proposed sign would not interfere with
the City Sewer line but recommends an encroachment agreement be required. (Exhibit F).
Public Comments
To date, no public comments have been received.
Issues for Consideration
1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner has designed the
project as to meet City Ordinance regulations? Is there opportunity to conform to
the City Code?
2. Does the Planning Commission find the proposed project necessary for the use of the
property?
3. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter the
essential character of the neighborhood?
4. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the
impacts created by the granting of the requested variance(s)?
5. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? •

Planning Staff Recommendation
Staff finds there are conforming building locations that would meet the 5 foot setback
requirement and finds that the proposed location is out of convenience. Any encroachment in
the utility easement would require an encroachment agreement. Planning staff recommends
denial of the proposed variance.

Lara,
It appears as depicted the sign would not directly interfere with the City Sewer Line. However since
it is proposed to be located within a Utility Easement an Encroachment agreement is needed.

Subject: 1444 Shoreline DR- LA22-000037-Sign Variance
Hi Adam,
An application has been made for a new monument sign at 1444 Shoreline Dr. but there are two
• surveys attached which shows slight variance on location. One indicates a 0' setback from the ROW
the other survey shows the sign encroaching in the ROW. I have asked for clarification from the
applicant. However,the signs looked to be placed in an easement with both locations. Please
review the variance and provide comments for the Planning Commission to consider. I need your
comments by Friday morning in order to incorporate them into packet.
Thanks!

Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: Regarding practical difficulty,Staff concurs that the
triangular shape adds to the challenge of development.The property is a corner lot, and the
home on the property to the east determines the average lakeshore setback.The eastern
neighboring home is situated closer to the lake than the applicants' home resulting in challenges
for lake side improvements of the home.

Average Lakeshore Setback Variance
The existing deck is located approximately 27 feet lakeward of the average lakeshore setback as •

15 Aug 2022
• Page 3 of 5
determined by the home at 1945 Fagerness Point Road.The proposed deck will improve the
setback with an approximate 25 foot encroachment lakeward of the average lakeshore setback.
Sec. 78-1279. Placement of buildings and structures on lots.
When more than one setback applies to a site, buildings,structures, and facilities must be
located to meet all setbacks. Buildings and structures shall be located as follows:
(6) Average lakeshore setback. No principal or accessory building shall be located closer
to the Ordinary High Water Line(OHWL)than the average distance from the shoreline
of existing principal buildings on adjacent lots; This does not apply to patios and other
accessory structures less than 42 inches above existing grade, and/or stairways, lifts,
landings, lockboxes,flagpoles and pump houses. Further, the average lakeshore
setback shall apply only to classified lakes and shall not apply to tributaries. The
average lakeshore setback line shall be a straight line connecting the most lakeward
protrusions of the principal buildings on the immediately adjacent lakeshore lots.
a. In situations where improvement is proposed on a lot adjacent to a vacant lot
or right-of-way, the average lake shore setback shall be equivalent to the
setback of the most lakeward protrusion of the principal building on the
immediately adjacent improved lakeshore lot.
b. In situations where the average lake shore setback line bisects the principal
building located on either adjacent lot, the next most adjacent lake side point of
the bisected principal building shall be used for determining the average
lakeshore setback. If the line continues to bisect the principal building, the next
411 most lakeside point is to be used until the setback line does not bisect the
principal building on an adjacent lot.
Governing Regulation:Variance (Section 78-123)
In reviewing applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider 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. The Planning Commission shall consider
recommending approval for variances from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances
where their strict enforcement would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique
to the individual property under consideration, and shall recommend approval only when it is
demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning
Code. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. 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. 14,when in harmony with this chapter. The board or the council may not permit as a
variance any use that is not permitted under this chapter for property in the zone where the
affected person's land is located.The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary
use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling.
According to MN §462.357 Subd. 6(2)variances shall only be permitted when:
1. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance.The
intent of the average lakeshore setback regulation is to preserve views of the lake
•
FILE#LA22-000039
15 Aug 2022
Page 4 of 5
from the homes on the neighboring properties.The proposed deck should not impact •
existing views of the lake from the property to the east.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan.The proposed use of the
property is residential and is 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 location,size and orientation of the
proposed deck is reasonable given the intent of the ordinance to preserve
views,and manage sensitive environmental concerns.
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner;
The shape and orientation of the property are circumstances not created by
the landowner;and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The deck
encroachment into the average lakeshore setback will not impact the
character of the locality.
Additionally City Code 78-123 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be
granted as follows:
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. 17,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 permitted41111
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 improvement is
allowed within the LR-1C Lakeshore Residential 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 corner lot configuration results in a
street setback on two sides, in addition to the lake and average lakeshore setback
creating challenges for development.The corner lot status and triangular shape of the
property are unique to the subject property.
9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which
the land is located.The specific conditions impacting this property do not apply to
other land or structures in the district,or other properties within this neighborhood.
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. Due to the application of the average
lakeshore setback, structural improvements or changes to the home on the lake side
are not permitted.The applicants have indicated that the granting of this variance is
necessary.
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 deck encroachment is not anticipated to impair the health,safety,comfort,
or morals; nor is it contrary to 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.According to the applicants, •
FILE#LA22-000039
15 Aug 2022
• Page 5 of 5
granting the average Lakeshore setback variance for this project is not a convenience.
Granting the variance is necessary to address limited buildable area,to provide
reasonable use, and is a minimal new encroachment resulting in improved
functionality of the property.
The Commission may recommend or Council may impose conditions in granting of variances.
Any conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the
impact created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use
permitted in this chapter in the district where such land is located.
Public Comments
The affected property owner at 1945 Fagerness Point Road has provided comments on the
applicants' request and does not oppose the variance. The comments are attached as Exhibit G.
Issues for Consideration
1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the
property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control?
2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter
the essential character of the neighborhood?
3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the
impacts created by the granting of the requested variance(s)?
4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?

• Subject: 1950 Concordia St. Peters Deck re-build Variance
City of Orono,
In regards to the above subject, our deck is in need for structural updates (second story posts
are beginning to rot) due its age.The deck was built at the same time as the house, late 1997
(same sight line and lake set back variance back then). The house being on a corner lot of
Fagerness and Concordia makes placement unique and actually designed the house back then
to fit the lot. Originally, we did try to hire a contractor to just replace the posts, new rails and
minor shape change, but could not get anybody to bid it. All contractors would only bid a full
deck replacement.So the present need for the variance for the full deck re-build.
Along with the deck re-build, we want to add retractable vinyl curtains, along with screens. The
deck is looking at out at West Arm bay lake channel and is along Fagerness Point Road with a
fair amount of daily traffic that kicks up a lot of dirt and dust. Adding the retractable vinyl will
keep the deck cleaner in between uses. To add the retractable vinyl,the deck shape being a half
circle today, needs to be squared off for straight runs between the posts either a hex shape or
rectangle.To make the deck more usable,we are opting for the rectangle shape and since it will
be a complete new deck, expanding it a few feet on each side to match the width of the house
is the plan. Meeting hard cover is not an issue being well below the 25% requirement.The
request is for the same variance from when we built the deck with the house, both the lake
setback and neighbor sightlines. We are not moving the deck any closer to the lake.
Respectfully submitted,
///t/

Exhibit B
PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES DOCUMENTATION FORM
LA22-000039 •
1. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not
permitted by the Zoning Chapter.
Response: It is reasonable to go from a semi-circle deck design to a rectangle deck design that
maintains the same lake setback and sightline.
2. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created
by the landowner.
Response: Being a corner lot on two roads with lake front is unique and the structure was designed
being able to fit on the lot given the variance.
3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Response: The deck shape going from a semi-circle to a rectangle will not alter the character of the
house.
4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties if reasonable use
for the property exists under the terms of the Zoning Chapter.
Response: There are no economic considerations made for this request.
5. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight 4111
for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as
defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 1167.06, Subd. 2, when in harmony with this
Chapter.
Response: The practical difficulties are due to the unique corner lot shape between Fagerness Point
road and Concordia St.
6. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments or the Council may not permit as a variance any
use that is not allowed under this Chapter for property in the zone where the affected
person's land is located.
Response: N/A
7. The Board or Council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family
dwelling as a two-family dwelling.
Response: N/A
8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such
property or immediately adjoining property.
Response: Being a corner lot on two roads with lake front is unique and the structure was designed •
being able to fit on the lot given the variance.
9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which
said land is located.
SResponse: Being a corner lot on two roads with lake front does not generally apply to other lots in
the district.
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.
Response: We have enjoyed having the deck to view the lake. Making the deck a rectangle with
more space for usage and adding the retractable vinyl and screen to keep the dust and dirt off
generated from the Fagerness Point road traffic will aid in the enjoyment.
11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety,
comfort, morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Code.
Response: N/A
12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant
but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty.
Response: The variance as originally granted because of the unique corner lot configuration was
necessary balancing driveway space and lake setback distance along with sightline applies for the
current deck re-build. Maintaining the same lake setback and sightlines for the requested rectangle
shaped deck as proposed.

Subject: 1950 Concordia St. Peters Deck re-build
City of Orono,
I have no objections to the proposed sight lines of the Peters deck re-build. I understand that
they will keep the same set back distance from the lake as the current deck. I also understand
they will expand the deck width to the house width along with squaring off the deck into a
rectangle with the same stair design moving closer to my house.
Sincerely,
*22-

LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET •
Section 78-1279—Setbacks:
The existing timber retaining walls are made with narrow timbers which are tiered and support the hillside
of the property.The existing landscape timbers are not well suited to support the slope. The existing and
proposed stair and wall configuration allow for the existing lake access. The new walls are proposed to
utilize the existing footprint and will be constructed at the same setback from the lake. No retaining walls
are permitted within the 75 foot lakeshore
setback.

III
.� � Governing Regulation:Variance(Section 78-
, 123)
�" 44. In reviewing applications for variance, the
' 41 -0 Planning Commission shall consider the effect
. . of the proposed variance upon the health,
,a
. - ' s '' safety and welfare of the community, existing
- u =' and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air,
3.
" _ danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the
.� " effect on values of property in the surrounding
41STING area. The Planning Commission shall consider
recommending approval for variances from the
literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances where their strict enforcement would cause practical
difficulties because oflcircumstances unique to the individual property under consideration, and shall
recommend approval only when it is demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and
intent of the Orono Zoning Code. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties.
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. 14,when in harmony with this chapter. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any
use that is not permitted under this chapter for property in the zone where the affected person's land is
located.The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as a
two-family dwelling.
According to MN §462.357 Subd. 6(2)variances shall only be permitted when: •
1. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance. Preserving and
protecting the existing lake yard slope is in harmony with the intent of the ordinance.The
FILE#LA22-000040
15 August 2022
Page 3 of 4
proposed retaining walls will be constructed with boulders in order to maintain the natural
aesthetic of the lake, and will be screened with vegetation wherever feasible.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan.The proposed retaining walls will
continue to maintain the integrity of the slope and protect the slope from catastrophic failure
which protects the lake.The proposal is 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 owners propose to install retaining wall improvements which
are residential in nature and reasonable from a residential scope.
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; The
owners have proposed retaining walls to protect against failure of the slope. The
existing slope of the lake yard was not the result of actions by the owner; and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. There are existing
retaining walls in the lake yard.The variance to permit the expanded retaining wall
structure within the 75-foot lake setback will help to maintain the existing slope and
character of the area.
Additionally City Code 78-123 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be granted as
follows:
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. 17,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 residential improvements are permitted to support a residential
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 slope of the property combined with the pre-existing
improvements are unique conditions affecting the subject property.
9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is
located.The steep slope,existing failing timber wall configuration,and the existing
improvements create conditions which do not apply to all of the adjacent properties.
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant. Granting a lake setback variance to allow the retaining walls
within the 75-foot lake setback to be reconstructed with an expanded footprint is reasonable,is
a better solution long-term,and is necessary to preserve the rights of the owner.The variance is
supported by the vulnerable slope on 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. Granting the lake yard setback
variance allowing the retaining walls within the 75-foot lake setback will not adversely impact
health, safety,comfort or morals,or in any way be contrary to the ordinances.
12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is
necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty.The proposed walls within the lake yard will
continue to preserve the integrity of the slope and there is no conforming location to install the
FILE#LA22-000040
15 August 2022
Page 4 of 4
retaining walls which would protect the slope. Preserving the existing wall support is necessary •
for the protection of the slope and the lake.
The Commission may recommend or Council may impose conditions in granting of variances.Any
conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact
created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use permitted in this chapter
in the district where such land is located.
Engineer Comments
A building permit is required to install the walls and improvements to be reconstructed. Due to the
height of the proposed walls, an engineered design will be required to be submitted with the building
permit.The City Engineer and Building Official will review the engineered wall plans at the time of the
building permit review.
Public Comments
The applicants have provided acknowledgment signatures from the neighbors on either side, Exhibit F.To
date, no comments have been received.
Issues for Consideration
1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the property
in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control?
2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter the essential
character of the neighborhood? •
3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the impacts
created by the granting of the requested variance(s)?
4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Planning Staff Recommendation
Planning Staff recommends approval of the lake setback variance for the improvements as proposed. Staff
further recommends additional screening of the walls be implemented to preserve the natural vegetated
view from the lake where feasible.

The property owner is looking to have failing timber
retaining walls and steps replaced. The walls are leaning
into the step area and will eventually fall if not replaced.
Existing steps are angled steeply and cannot safely
accommodate agile people, let alone elderly. There is no
handrail, and the steps are constructed of wood timbers
and loose pea rock, making the issue worse. The plan is
to replace the existing walls and steps with 2' to 3'
fieldstone boulder retaining walls and 3' wide granite
steps.
We understand that the footprint of this project is
expanding the finished area by 136 square feet, however,
the materials that need to be used as a permanent
solution are boulders and granite. Steps are increasing in •
width 6" each. Boulder walls are substantially larger and
more structurally sound than the existing 4"x3.5" timbers
(which were intended to be used as landscape edging, not
retaining wall material), which is where the bulk of the
increased square footage will be realized.
Our equipment enables us to reach the necessary areas to
redo the walls and steps, with minimal impact to the
hillside. We will not be removing any trees larger than 4" in
diameter. Any areas disturbed by construction will be
restored with native plantings (such as gro-low sumac,
Panicum vigatum (Switch Grass) and Schisachryrium
scoparium (Little Bluestein)), seed and erosion control
blanket.

by the landowner.
Response: The failing materials were already installed on the property when the homeowner
purchased it.

Response: Correct.
4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties if reasonable use
for the property exists under the terms of the Zoning Chapter.
Response: The consideration in this situation is one of safety, not economic.
S5. Practical difficulties 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 Minnesota Statutes, Section 1163.06, Subd. 2, when in harmony with this
Chapter.
Response: NA
6. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments or the Council may not permit as a variance any

improved materials and addressing the safety concern.

1. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance.
Preserving/protecting the hillside is in harmony with the intent of the ordinance. The
proposed project will replace failing timber retaining walls and steps with fieldstone boulder
retaining walls and granite steps. The new materials are natural and durable, a more viable
solution to protect the hillside and also eliminate the safety issue the current,failing materials
are posing to the property owners and the land.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan The proposed retaining walls and steps
will follow the existing footprint of retaining walls and steps and are designed to protect and
preserve the hillside. This is 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 property owner proposes to install retaining wall and step
improvements,which are reasonable in scope and residential in nature
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner The
failing materials on the hillside were installed prior to the property owner purchasing
this property and is not a result of actions by this homeowner.
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality The permit to replace
the existing retaining walls and steps within the 75-foot setback will help to maintain
the structure of the existing slope.
4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties Economic considerations
are not a factor in the request for this variance.
• 5. NA

is located. Correct—the existing condition and proposed improvements are unique to the
property in question.
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant. Granting the variance will enable the property owner to
address failing retaining walls and steps within the 75-foot setback and is reasonable and
necessary to preserve the property rights of the owner and support the hillside.
11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impar health,safety, comfort or
morals, o in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter Granting this variance

Variance
Public Hearing
Application Summary: The applicant is requesting an average lakeshore setback variance in order
to redevelop the subject property.
Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends denial of the average lakeshore
setback variance.
Background
The applicant is proposing to redevelop , a
• the property with a new single family
home.As part of the project the a, ~�
property owner plans to combine the \ �,' R \�,,`
subject property with a portion of the \ —I. ` a _ —
property to the north addressed 2987 5g" , �F
Casco Point Road. Further they plan to � "'t ��i�
NKA
combine the remaining half of 2987 MI 1': 1 I
� Y;'
Casco Point Road with the "tennis court � " bv. = ��
lot" PID 20-117-23-34-0027. The result
i SOUTH P VT
will be an administrative combination �, yAP,
ab
of three buildable lots into two w� " 1 ,, :_:r b ,< ac�
buildable lots. In October the Planning 94
Commission will review an easement o " ' "`
1 ; ,
vacation relating to this administrative W
combination. f S�op cT F=
For the time being,this application focuses on the to-be-created 3005 Casco Point Road depicted in
Exhibits D and E, attached.
The existing homes are planned to be removed. The applicant has designed a new home for the
newly enlarged property reflected in Exhibit D. For the purpose of this application the Planning
Commission should treat the newly enlarged property as existing. If there are any approvals granted,
they will be contingent upon completion of all the requirements to administratively move the lot
• lines. Due to the orientation of the property in relation to the neighboring homes and the curvature
of the shoreline,the applicant is requesting an average lakeshore setback variance for the new home.

attached as Exhibit B, and should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application.
Practical Difficulties Analysis
Staff finds that the applicant's choice to build a replacement home in the proposed location is not
supported by practical difficulty, although it slightly improves the lake views from the adjacent home
from the existing condition. There is a conforming building envelope on the property to support the
applicant's proposed home footprint.
LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET
Section 78-350&78-1279-Setbacks:
LR-1C Required Existing Proposed
Rear 30' 68.4' 83.8'
North Side** 10' 8' 28'
South Side 10' 31.1' 20.3'
Lakeshore 75' 158' 173'
The required setback is 210' determined by the home at 3015 CPR.
The existing home is 158'from the lake.
Average Lakeshore The proposed home is shown at 173'; a 15 foot encroachment
improvement within the average lakeshore setback.
**The north lot line will be adjusted so the existing and proposed side yard setbacks on the north side
as noted are not comparable. •
Section 78-350-Lot Area/Width:
LR-1C Lot Area Lot Width
Required 21,780 s.f. (0.5 acres) 100'
Section 78-1403-Structural Building Coverage:
The property exceeds 1.99 acres in area and structural coverage limitations do not apply.
Section 78-1680 and 78-1700-Hardcover Calculations:
The project will have a conforming hardcover level.
Applicable Regulations:
Average Lakeshore Setback Variance (Section 78-1279)
The subject property is situated at the beginning of a slight convex curve of the Casco Point shoreline.
The properties to the south have a unique orientation in that the immediately neighboring lot has a
lakeshore lot notched out of the shoreline.The neighboring home is pushed back from the lake 210
feet due to a relatively narrow 50' lakeshore strip.The result is a large average lakeshore setback
over the subject property.
The proposed home has been designed to reduce the impact to the adjacent property owners'views
of the lake from the existing condition.The applicant is proposing to reduce the encroachment into
the average lakeshore setback by 15 feet, and reorient the home to pull back from the lake and away
from the neighboring lots in the average setback area. There is a difference of approximately 98 feet
of separation between the 75-foot setback and the average lakeshore setback line on the property.
Situating the home behind the average lakeshore setback would essentially put the house behind the

two neighboring homes and would impact their view of the lake.
Governing Regulation:Variance(Section 78-123)
In reviewing applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider 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. The Planning Commission shall consider recommending approval for
variances from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances where their strict enforcement
would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique to the individual property under
consideration, and shall recommend approval only when it is demonstrated that such actions will be
in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning Code. Economic considerations alone do not
constitute practical difficulties. 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 this chapter. The
board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under this chapter
for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located.The board or council may permit
as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling.
According to MN §462.357 Subd. 6(2)variances shall only be permitted when:
1. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance.The lot
does include difficulties in the orientation of the shoreline and location of adjacent
lots/homes. However,there is a considerable building envelope on the property which will
allow for lake views.The proposed variance is not in harmony with the purpose of the
• Ordinance.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan.There is a conforming building
envelope allowing for lake views;the proposed variance is inconsistent 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
in the proposed location partially within the average lakeshore setback does not
appear to be reasonable considering the ample building envelope and size of the
property.This criterion is not met.
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; The
location of the neighboring homes and properties are out of the landowners'
control. However,the project is for redevelopment and the home can be located to
comply;and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The variance is
requested in order to permit construction of a home designed to fit the character
of the neighborhood according to the submitted information.
Additionally City Code 78-123 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be
granted as follows:
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.

Page 4 of 5
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 residential 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 shape of the shoreline as well as the
setback from the lake of the adjacent homes creates difficulties for the Owners in
redeveloping the property consistent with the homes in their 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 shoreline orientation,and the relationship between the
existing home and the setback of the adjacent properties create difficulties for the owners.
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.The property has a conforming building envelope
where a new home can be sited.Granting the average lakeshore setback variance is not
necessary for the preservation of the property right of the applicant.
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 variance 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 requested variance would serve as a
convenience to the applicant. •
The Commission may recommend or Council may impose conditions in granting of variances.Any
conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact
created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use permitted in this
chapter in the district where such land is located.
Public Comments
Comments have been received and are attached as Exhibit G.
Issues for Consideration
1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the
property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control?
2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter the
essential character of the neighborhood?
3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the
impacts created by the granting of the requested variance(s)?
4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Planning Staff Recommendation
Finding inadequate practical difficulties to support the request, Planning Staff recommends denial.

Exhibit B
PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES DOCUMENTATION FORM
LA22-000041
•-
1. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner no
t P Y permitted by
the Zoning Chapter.
Response: The owner intends to use the property as their home property.
2. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by
the landowner.
Response: The architecture and design committee worked to maximize the lakeshore views both
homeowner and neighbors alike and working to comply to current zoning rules. The new proposed home will
move back and exceed the required setback typical. There is only a small area (due to the orientation of the
home with the lakeshore) that creates a pocket of variance approval needed.
3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Response: The variance would in fact improve the current zoned setback, if the overall comprehensive
shoreline setback is used, from the current existing home.
4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties if reasonable use for
the property exists under the terms of the Zoning Chapter.
Response: N/A
S5. Practical difficulties 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
Minnesota Statutes, Section 116106, Subd. 2, when in harmony with this Chapter.
Response: The unique lot creates a new set of challenges when the ALS is figured by the neighbor to the
south. The southerly neighbor is an outlier to the shoreline as their lot is setback further than the rest of the
shoreline due to the flagship lots forcing it's lakeshore setback. We can conform except the extreme angle
using the southern neighbor creates only a small pie shaped aera of the new home that is non-conforming.
6. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments or the Council may not permit as a variance any use
that is not allowed under this Chapter for property in the zone where the affected person's land
is located.
Response: N/A
7. The Board or Council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as
a two-family dwelling.
Response: N/A
8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such
property or immediately adjoining property.
Response: The unique lot creates a new set of challenges when the ALS is figured by the neighbor to the
isouth. The southerly neighbor is an outlier to the shoreline as their lot is setback further than the rest of the
shoreline due to the flagship lots forcing it's lakeshore setback. We can conform except the extreme angle
using the southern neighbor creates only a small pie shaped aera of the new home that is non-conforming.
9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which said
land is located.
Response: This condition is something unique to lakeshore lots. We did review council's acknowledgment ill
of the challenges when ALS is a standard but the lakeshore and lake lots to not lend themselves to being in
a line.
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.
Response: NA
11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort,
morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Code.
Response: We feel the granting of the variance would not in anyway decline the safety, health, morals or
even views of any neighbors.
12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant but is
necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty.
Response: NA

2970 Casco Point Road
Thank you Melanie for sharing the documents relative to the development on the property at 3005 Casco
Point Road.Not being an architect the drawings are somewhat complicated for me but what I do want the
planning commission to understand is my concern regarding any additional drainage from the 3005 property
caused by new construction and lot configuration changes.
Some Orono staff members are aware of the inadequacy of the city drain between houses 2970 and 2980.
There is an easement for this drain going through our property into the lake.The poorly designed drain is
not able to be cleaned out because the clean out drain is too far from the road for the equipment to reach it,
therefore in the heavy rains,water overflows onto my property.New houses across the street have been
constructed so that water now drains from their property and driveways across the street toward the city
drain and since the drain cannot handle the water it overflows across my property.
Any additional construction across the street will no doubt add to the problem as they reconfigure their lots
to their desired height and add additional concrete driveways that will drain across the street to the city
drain.
I ask the planning commission to take into consideration these issues in their decisions regarding the
development of these properties on the former Hartzell property.
I will attach a few pictures of what happens during heavy rains.Fortunately the last two years we have had
drought conditions and I have not floated away.
I appreciate your attention to these concerns.

HI Melanie,
I see the reports you sent but Its hard to get a good grasp on the exact changes and how it will ultimately
impact water flow. Ultimately the slope of the landscaping matter just as much as the actual hardcover.
Additionally, hopefully the city takes the fact that there is a current issue with drainage that should be
corrected as they consider approving any plans and excusing variances.
It comforting to learn they have adjusted their plans to be 2 properties instead of 3 so not overly relevant
now but as the city gets requests for variance exceptions one risk we notice (in the summer especially)
that's hard to correct after development is with the parking. Naturally many people have visitors over
during the summer but since many lots are tight on parking (probably for the reason of hardcover)they
park in the street and mix the tight and winding Casco Pt Rds with some peoples aversion to applying
common sense (i.e cars on each side of the road, parking on curves, cars parked not even close to the
curb!)with parking it sets the stage for a real disaster.
Thanks again,
Jon

Subject: RE: Re[2]: Plans for 3005 Casco Point Road
Good morning Melanie:
Thank you for providing the information regarding the development plans next door to our property
at 3015 Casco Point Road. We are in support of the proposed plan that you sent to us.
In 2004,when we designed plans for our home,we placed our home farther back than what would
have been allowed.This was based on our consideration for our neighbors on both sides as to not
change or inhibit their views of the Lake. By doing this,we also established a set-back line that was
farther back than the average on Casco Point.
The new owners of 3005 Casco have proposed a plan which requires a set- back variance from the •
lakeshore. We support this plan because:
1. It actually moves the property farther back than the current structure on the property and
thus improves the set-back line.
2. The plan as proposed has taken care to minimize the impact of the new development on
our property and lake views.
3. The existing 2 neighboring properties have been in existence for at least 100 years. The
plans we have seen for the neighboring new home keeps the character of the current
property in both design and placement.
Every request for a Variance has their own unique circumstances. In this case the applicants are
making an improvement in the set-back from the lake and have taken care in preserving our lake
views. For these reasons we are in support of the plan. We plan on attending the Monday planning
commission hearing if there are further are questions or comments. Thank you.
;, Daniel P. Seidel, Esq.
