NO. 34 10
The Orono Placating Commission reviewed this application on March 21, 1494
and recommended approval of the proposed variances as set forth above and per
Section 10.55, Subdivision 10 approved a conditional use permit for the
construction of an accessory storage shed within the flood fringe of Lake
Minnetonka based on the following unique findings and hardships:
a. The property is located on a peninsula.
b. The majority of the buildable envelope is located within the flood
fringe/flood plain of Lake Minnetonka.
C. The structure will meet the required 75' from the Lakeshore on all three
sides.
d. The original storage shed was removed as a result of the recent
construction for seasonal cabin. The proposed hardcover for the
improvement of the property results in 2,142 s. f. or 187c where 25% is
allowed in the 75-250' setback area.
e. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District will not require compensatory
excavations for the frost depth footings as long as the structure; is so
designee+d to allow water to flow freely beneath it.
The Council finds that the conditions existing on this property arc peculiar to it
a .d do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district ; that granting
the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a
fire hazard or other danger to neighboring properties, would not merely serve as
a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable
hardship or 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.

construction of a storage structure on the property to be located within the flood
fringe of Lake Minnetonka will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general
velfare of the public, would riot adversely affect light, air nor pose a fire hazard
