Dear Island Landowner :
The purpose of this letLer is to provid� you with information regarding
the recent zoning changes on Big Island , and how these changes may
affect your property .
The new RS Seasonal Recreational zoning regulations were established
by City Council adoption of Ordinance f�246 on December 30 , 1.982 . Tnis
action also ended the development moratorium that had been in effect
since November 9, 1981 .
A summary of the ordinance is attached . If you are interested , a
complete text of tY�e ordinance is also available for a nominal charge
of $3 . 00 to defer printing and mailing costs .
Your property is identified in the ordinance by the Record Lot Number
shown above and on tne attached blue page . This identification is part
of a special section that inventories lot by lot the ownershio patterns
and existing uses of island property . Based on this record , the ordinance
then "grandfathers " building rights for these Record Lots by making the�a
eligible for lot area variances . This means that for the first tine
even if your lot is less than five acres (or two acres under the previous
ordinance) that yeu may now build a new seasonal cabin, or if vou already
have a cabin� that it may continue to be used , improved , added-onto or
replaced with a new cabin , subject to building permits and setback
regulations , etc . , but without questioning its use for building purposes ,
and without requiring any special City Council review.
In order for you to automatically receive the benefits of the lot area
variance , you should review and complete the following before July l ,
1983 :
1 . Please verify the Record Lot information on the attached blue page
and notif;� the City if there is a problem or a change .

2 . If the Record Lot information is complete , , please sign, have
notarized and return the white Variance Resolution. State law
requires that all zoning variances be recorded with the County
Recorder in resolution form. Returning this resolution is optional ,
but if you choose not to do so , you may be required to pay a fee
and file a formal variance application in the future if you ever
plan to do any building on the property . There is no fee for having
this automatic variance recorded at this time .
3 . If your Record Lot consists of two or more separate tax parcels , a
green form for requesting a combined assessment is enclosed. Please
sign and return this to the City to allow your tax records to be
changed into one parcel consistent with the zoning and to assure
the most favorable tax rate possible.
4 . A conditional use permit issued by the City Council is required
for certain land uses in the RS District , including the following
residential uses :
a) If you use or have used your cabin FOR MORE THAN 180 DAYS/YEAR.
b) If you have MORE THAN ONE CABIN on your property .
Refer to the enclosed yellow sheet for a definition of these uses
including a description of when a special permit is or is not required .
If you wish to apply for a permit , mark the yellow page and return it
to the City . We will send you the appropriate application form by
return mail .
A postage-paid envelope is enclosed for your use in returning the above
forms to the City . If you have any questions about this , please call
Alan Olson or Jeanne Mabusth at 473-7357 .
On behalf of the City Council and Planning Commission , I want to take
this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you whose interest and
participation this past year has helped so much in the completion of
this planning process . I have certainly enjoyed meeting all of you and
learning so much about your island. I hope this last step can be kept
as simple as possible so that your property rights can be correctly
recorded for your future benefit .
Sincerely ,

Re: Record Lot #21
Dear Big Island Landowner ;
In reviewing our Big Island files, it has come to the City's
attention that you (or a previous owner of your Big Island property)
never returned the proper forms for granting of an automatic lot area
variance in 1983, when the "RS" or Seasonal Recreational Zoning
District was created.
Perhaps this was an oversight, or perhaps you did not wish to
return the forms at that time. In either case, your Big Island
property currently has NOT been officially granted variances to lot
area or lot width, and you would have to file for these variances in
order to be allowed to do any building or remodeling on your property.
Although nearly 2/3 of the Big Island property owners returned
the proper forms to be granted the lot area variances in 1983 (at no
cost to the property owner), approximately 1/3 have not returned them,
and the filing fee for a variance application currently is $150.00.
Because there may have been some misunderstandings of the no-cost
automatic variance procedure in 1983, ou again have the opportunity
to return the proper forms and be granted the lot area variance at no
charge. r
Attached you will find the following documents:
A) Copy of letter to you dated February 15, 1983, describing how
to be granted the automatic lot area variances.
B) The official record lot notice (blue paper) .
C) 3 copies of an official resolution draft (white paper with
green City logo).
D) A description of specific uses that reguire a Conditional
Use Permit (yellow paper) .

ASSESSINC:
F) An official lot cc�mbination/combined assessment request form
(Your lots as descril2d on the official. record lot notice must be
legally combined as part of �he automatic lot area variance
process ) . (C�reen pa�:�r; .
F) A summary of the 1�83 "RS" Zoning Ordinances.
The procedure to follow in order to be granted the automatic lot
area variance is as follows :
1) Review the information on the blue record lot notice. If no
changes are necessary, sign all 3 copies of the official
resolution draft and have them notarized. 5end aIl 3 capies back
to the City.
• 2 ) If you wish to apply for a specific use �hat requires a
Conditional Use Permit, note that on th� yellow forzn and return
that form also.
3} Sign the green Iot combination form and return it to the City
with �the other items.
Forms must be submitted by Wednesday, April 30, 1986 in order to
be grar�ted the variance at no cost. P�.�ase contact Mike Gaffron at
the City offices at 473-7357 if you have any questions.

FOR RECORD LOT NO ��
PIIRSUANT TO ORDINANCE NO. 246,
MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE SECTION 10.31
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Hennepin County,
Minnesota :
FINDINGS
l. ' That is (are) the owner(s)/tax-
payer(s} of record of the following described property located within
the RS Seasonal Recreational Zoning District of the City:
For the legal description, see Exhibit A.
2 . That in adoption of Ordinance No. 246 , the City Council reviewed
ownership, development and use patterns on the islands and has deter-
mined that all the above described property combined is and shall
hereinafter and henceforth be one "RECORD LOT" as defined in Section
10.31 of said ordinance.
3 . That all the above described property when combined as one RECORD LOT
is still less than the minimum lot size required for new lots in the
RS District, but that this RECORD LOT is being used and/or may be used
in the future for any permitted use in the RS District without adverse
affect upon public health, safety, or welfare.
CONCLOSION
The City Council of Orono hereby grants a lot area variance to
the above described RECORD LOT based on the above findings and subject to
the following conditions:
1 . This RECORD LOT including all the above described property combined
shall henceforth be continued in common ownership by the same person
or persons even if recorded as separate lots or tax parcels, and it
shall not be subdivided, sold in parts, reduced in area or otherwise
separated without application for and approval of a subdivision by the
City. This condition shall not preclude future sale or transfer of
the complete "RECORD LOT" as a single unit.
2. Granting this variance means this RECORD LOT may be used for one-
family seasonal recreational use without a structure; or a single new
seasonal dwelling may be built; or an existing seasonal dwelling may
be used, improved, added-onto or replaced; all without requiring
further City Council review of lot size, but subject to strict com-
pliance with all building permit, setback, hardcover, on-site sewage

ORDINANCE N0. 246 A
R:S.SEASONAL RECREATIONAL ZONING `F
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS
FEBRUARY 15, 1983
Ordinance No. 246 provides that certain uses of land in the RS District are allowed
only by Conditional Use Permit issued by the City Council. This is because these uses
are more intensive than a seasonal cabin and need special considerations due to their
island location. If your property has been actively used for one or both of the following
purposes, you are entitled to apply for a conditional use permit (and variance if
necessary) to continue that use:
SECTION 34.363(a) : TO AUTHORIZE PRINCIPAL DWELLING USE: meaning any home or cabin
that is used or occupied for 181 days or more in any one year; or any dwelling
regardless of the duration of use if you wish to claim a Minnesota "principal
residence" homestead tax credit. If the property is not homestead, and if your
total annual usage is less than 180 days (6 months), then your use is allowed by tlie
ordinance and you do not have to apply for this special permit. Note that even if
you use the property a few days every month, it is the total number of days that
count, not how these days might be spread throughout the year.
SECTION 34.363(b) : TO AUTHORIZE A PRIVATE GUEST CABIN in addition to and on the
same Record Lot as a principal dwelling or a seasonal cabin. A permit may also
be issued for more than one private guest cabin on the same lot. Private guest
cabins may be used solely by the occupants of the principal or seasonal dwelling,
including their domestic employees, caretakers or non-paying guests. Private �
guest cabins shall not be rented or leased for compensation of any kind.
If you have only one guest cabin 600 sq. ft. or smaller, constructed without indoor
plumbing, toilets or kitchen facilities and used only for occasional additional
sleeping space, then this use is allowed by ordinance and you do not have to apply
for this special permit. �
A separate application form is required for each of these uses. Detailed information
is necessary to prepare an accurate permit, to speed-up the review, and to determ;.ne
whether or not a variance is needed.
IF YOU WISH TO APPLY FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, check one or both of the above
uses and return this sheet to the City in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. You
will be sent the application form by return mail.
Your application will be processed with NO FEE REQUIRED if all necessary information
is submitted to the City Zoning Office BEFORE JULY 1, 1983. Applications received
after that date will loose any "grandfather" rights and will be subject to all fees
and other requirements of regular conditional use applications.

ASSt�:SSIN(�
�
In review of each application, the City Council will compare your property and use to
current building and zoning code requirements. The Council may establish reasonable
standards and timetables for you to make any practical changes or improvements which
might be necessary to comply with current codes. Where full compliance with new
requirements is impractical or would cause you undue hardship, the Council may grant a
variance to allow continued non-conforming use. However, a variance will not be granted
if 'it would cause or allow to continue any health or safety problem.
Issuance of a permit will be done by a formal "resolution" which will require your
signature before final approval by the City Council. This resolution will then be
recorded in the chain of title of your property as required by State Law.
If you have any questions, please call City Planner Alan Olson or Zoning Administrator
Jeanne Mabusth at 473-7357.

for adjacent property owners to control weeds or brush, sod, seed,
mo�� or otherwise maintain such land in a neat and presentable manner .
34 . 366 . This section establishes a minimum dry-buildable lot area

mance with this ordinance ; c) substandard in lot area but buildable
without need for further City Council review; or d) vacant property
that is unbui�dable as it stands because of extremely small size.
All properties currently containing a cabin are listed as buildable.
Additional provisions regulate future subdivision of these record^
lots , and require formal combination of separate tax parcels prior
to issuance of any building permit , variance or conditional use permit .
34 . 367. This section continues the existing minimum lot width
requirement of 200 feet . •
34 . 368 . This section nrovides for minimum setbacks from lakeshore,

field systems are required for most �roperties .
