WHEREAS, on June 12, 2023, the City Council reviewed the application and the
recommendations of the Planning Commission and City staff; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Orono, Minnesota
hereby approves the requested variances as described above based on one or more of the
following findings of fact concerning the Property:
FINDINGS OF FACT:
Al. The analysis contained within staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid
memos, all minutes from the above-mentioned meetings, and any and all other materials
distributed at these meetings are hereby incorporated by reference.
A2. The Property is located in the LR-1C One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District.
A3. The Property contains 0.77 acres in area and has a defined lot width of 27 feet at the
ordinary high water level ("OHWL") and 110 feet at the 75-foot setback.
A4. The Property is within Tier 1 and hardcover is limited to 25% according to the
Stormwater Quality Overlay District.
A5. Applicant has applied for an Average Lakeshore Setback Variance.
A6. In considering this application for variance, the Council has considered the advice and
recommendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed variance
upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic
conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values
of property in the surrounding area.
ANALYSIS:
B1."Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes
and intent of the ordinance . . . ." The proposed variance is in harmony with the purpose
of the Ordinance. The Property includes difficulties in its shape and the location of
adjacent homes. The average lakeshore setback variance will not further impact views of
the lake for adjacent properties.
B2."Variances shall only be permitted . . . when the variances are consistent with the
comprehensive plan." The proposed variances to construct additions to the home on the
Property are consistent with the comprehensive plan.

B3."Variances may be granted when the applicant for the variance establishes that there are
practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. `Practical difficulties,' as used in
connection with the granting of a variance, means that:
a. The property owner in question proposes to use the property in a reasonable
manner, however, the proposed use is not permitted by the official controls. The
request to permit the home modifications in the proposed location entirely within
the average lakeshore setback appears to be reasonable considering the
orientation of the neighboring homes with respect to the lakeshore, the existing
vegetative screening, the topography, and adjacent properties. The request is
reasonable.
b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not
created by the landowner. The unique shape of the Property, the neighboring
lake flag lot, and the neighboring home locations prevent expansions of the home
consistent with the neighborhood. The proposed overall hardcover level is
conforming. The circumstances are unique to the Property;
c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality." The
variance is requested in order to permit construction of additions to the home
designed to fit the character of the neighborhood.
B4."Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties." Economic
considerations have not been a factor in the variance approval determination.
B5."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.
B6."The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under
Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is
located."This condition is not applicable, as a single-family home is an allowed use in the
LR-1C District.
B7."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.
B8."The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such
property or immediately adjoining property."The Property's unique orientation with respect
to the lakeshore, the neighboring lake flag lot, and the adjacent homes create difficulties

for the Owners in improving the Property consistent with the homes in their
neighborhood.
B9."The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the
land is located." The Property's unique shape and the extreme setback of the adjacent
home on the flag lot creates difficulties for the owners.
B10."The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant." Granting the average lakeshore setback
variance is necessary for the preservation of the property right of the owners.
B11."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.
B12."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 is necessary, and
does not merely serve as a convenience to the Applicants.
CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS:
Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a
variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1279 to allow construction of an expanded
deck on the lake side of the home and new deck stairs; an increase in the roof height over the
northeastern portion of the home; a new shed dormer on the lake side of the home; and to
construct a new roofed entry lakeward of the average lakeshore setback line, subject to the
following conditions:
C1.Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings.
C2.The approved project shall conform to the survey dated April 19, 2023 and revised on
April 20,2023 and building plans submitted by the Applicants and annotated by City staff,
attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A & B.
C3.Any amendments to the plans which are not in conformity with City codes may require
further Planning Commission and City Council review.
C4.Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the Applicants, but
are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the new
construction and commencing construction of said project. A building permit must be
