A RESOLUTION
APPROVING A VARIANCE FROM
MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE
SECTION 78-1700
FILE NO. LA23-000064
WHEREAS, on November 9, 2023, Brent Waldron ("Applicant"), applied for a variance from
the City Code for the property addressed 2405 Dunwoody Avenue and legally described as:
That part of Lot 2, Block 8, Townsite of Langdon Park, described as follows:
Beginning at a point in the Northeasterly line of said Lot 2, distant 5.00 feet southeasterly
from the Northeast corner of said Lot 2, thence southwesterly parallel with the
Southeasterly line of said Lot 2 to the shore of Lake Minnetonka, thence southeasterly
along said shore to the Southeasterly line of said Lot 2, thence northeasterly along said
Southeasterly line to the most Easterly corner of said Lot 2, thence northwesterly along the
Northeasterly line of said Lot 2 to the point of beginning, Hennepin County, Minnesota
hereinafter the"Property");
WHEREAS, the Applicant has made an application to the City of Orono for a variance to
Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1700 to allow the construction of an addition to the
home over the existing driveway hardcover which exceeds 25%; and
WHEREAS, on January 16, 2024, after published and mailed notice in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes and the City Code, the Planning Commission held a public hearing, at which
time all persons desiring to be heard concerning this application were allowed to speak thereon;
and
WHEREAS, on January 16, 2024, the Planning Commission recommended approval of
the variance by a 4 to 0 vote; and
WHEREAS, on February 12, 2024, the City Council reviewed the application and the
recommendations of the Planning Commission and City staff;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Orono, Minnesota
hereby approves the requested variance as described above based on one or more of the
following findings of fact concerning the Property:

CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. 7447
EsHO
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-1 C, One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District.
A3. The Property contains 0.3 acres in area and has a defined lot width of 50 feet.
A4. The Property is within Tier 1 and hardcover is limited to 25% according to the
Stormwater Quality Overlay District. The Property currently has a hardcover level of
33.5%
A5. The Applicant has applied for a Hardcover Variance.
A6. City Code Section 78-72 allows for the administrative approval of relocation or a change
to an existing legal nonconforming use. However, the request to change the driveway
hardcover to structural/building hardcover, increasing the mass of the nonconformity,
cannot be approved administratively.
A7. The Applicant's plan reflects a 155 square-foot reduction in hardcover resulting in a
proposed total of 32.3%.
A8. In considering this application for a 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 hardcover variance resulting in a reduction of
legally nonconforming hardcover is in harmony with the ordinance.
B2."Variances shall only be permitted . . . when the variances are consistent with the
comprehensive plan." The requested variance results in a reduction of hardcover which is
consistent with the goals within 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 convert the existing hardcover to a home addition while reducing the
hardcover percentage is reasonable and is not permitted administratively.
b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not
created by the landowner. The existing hardcover level, shape and size of the
Property, and location of the existing improvements were not created by the
owner; and
c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality." The
hardcover variance to permit the construction of a home addition and reduce the
overall hardcover level will not alter the essential character of the area.
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 home addition is an allowed use in the LR-
1 C 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 existing hardcover level, shape and size
of the Property, and location of the existing improvements are unique to the Property.
B9."The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the
land is located." The specific conditions do not apply to many of the neighboring
properties.

B10."The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant." The variance is necessary to preserve the
owner's property rights. This criterion is met.
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."This criterion is met.
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 is
not merely a convenience to the owner.
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 78-1700 to allow the construction of a 24' x
24.3' attached garage addition over the existing driveway hardcover, subject to the following
conditions:
Cl.Council approval is based on the entire record and the above Findings.
C2.The approved project shall conform to the survey dated 08/22/18 and revised on
09/11/2018 by Gronberg and Associates and the building plans submitted by the
Applicant and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A & B.
C3.Any amendments to the plans that 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
obtained within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variance will expire on
that date (February 12, 2025).
C5.Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution
may result in the termination of any authority granted herein.
