Several Planning Commissioners said they could see the need to move forward with the stairs and
retaining wall. The proposed structure would not be in-kind because the existing structure that was torn
down was never permitted and the structure that was depicted on the most recent survey was much
smaller. Commissioners debated tabling the full item, denying the full application so it could move
forward to City Council, or doing a split recommendation.
Ressler moved, Kirchner seconded, to deny LA24-000018, 4745 North Shore Drive-Cup Variances
and forward the Commission’s comments. VOTE: Ayes: 6, Nays 0, Abstain 1 (Kraemer).

Section: Public Hearings
Title: #LA24-000034, Matthew Tierney, 2285 and 2305 Bayview Place, Variances
(Staff: Natalie Nye)
1.Purpose:
The applicant is requesting lot area, lot width and front yard setback variances to support an
administrative lot line rearrangement between 2285 and 2305 Bayview Place.
2.MN§15.99 Application Deadline:
The application was received on June 13, 2024 and deemed complete on July 1, 2024. The 60-Day
timeline for review expires on August 30, 2024.
3.Background:
The applicant owns the properties located at 2285 and 2305 Bayview Place. Both properties are
substandard for the LR-1C zoning district. 2305 Bayview Place contains a single-family home,
while 2285 Bayside Place is currently vacant. The properties are uniquely configured and both
have frontage on Bayside Place and Navarre Lane. The applicant is proposing a lot line adjustment
between the two properties to improve the shape of the lots and therefore create more usable
building envelopes. The lot line adjustment is an administrative application, however, due to the
lots being substandard in size and width, variances are required. The applicant is seeking lot size
and width variances for both 2285 and 2305 Bayside Place, as well as a front yard setback
variance for 2305 Bayview Place due to the location of the existing home. No additional variances
are requested for 2285 Bayview Place, once the vacant lot is built upon, it will need to conform to
all required setbacks.
4.Public Comment:
There have been no public comments submitted.
5.Staff Recommendation:
Staff is supportive of the lot area, lot width, and front yard setback variances required to support
an administrative lot line rearrangement between nonconforming properties.
6.Planning Commission Action Requested:
Motion to recommend approval of the variances requested for 2285 and 2305 Bayview Place.

Subject: #LA24-000034, Matthew Tierney, 2285 & 2305 Bayview Place – Variances – Public Hearing
Background
The applicant owns the properties located at 2285 and 2305 Bayview Place. Both properties are
substandard for the LR-1C zoning district. 2305 Bayview Place contains a single-family home, while 2285
Bayside Place is currently vacant. The properties are uniquely configured and both have frontage on
Bayside Place and Navarre Lane. The applicant is proposing a lot line adjustment between the two
properties to improve the shape of the lots and therefore create more usable building envelopes. The lot
line adjustment is an administrative application, however, due to the lots being substandard in size and
width, variances are required. The applicant is seeking lot size and width variances for both 2285 and 2305
Bayside Place, as well as a front yard setback variance for 2305 Bayview Place due to the location of the
existing home. No additional variances are requested for 2285 Bayview Place, once the vacant lot is built
upon, it will need to conform to all required setbacks.
Practical Difficulties Analysis
Applicant Submittal Information: The applicant has identified the irregular shape and substandard size of
the properties as practical difficulties. The proposed lot line adjustment would create two standard
shaped lots with improved setbacks. The proposal would allow for a conforming expansion of the existing
home (2305 Bayside Road) and a usable building envelope for the vacant lot (2285 Bayside Road).
Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: Staff agrees with the applicant’s assessment. The properties are
substandard for the LR-1C District, which requires 0.5 acres in size and 100 feet in width as minimums. The
existing configuration of the lots impacts their buildability. The proposed lot line adjustment improves the
building envelopes for both lots and eliminates the challenges brought on by the unique shapes and
multiple frontages. The lot line adjustment would make both homes front on Navarre Lane, which would
improve existing setbacks for the current home at 2305 Bayside Place.

Applicable Regulations:
Lot Area and Lot Width Variances (Section 78-350)
The LR-1C Zoning District requires a minimum lot size of 0.5 acres and a minimum lot width of 100 feet.
The applicant is requesting an administrative lot line adjustment; however, the subject properties are
substandard for the LR-1C District and will continue to be substandard after the proposed lot line
rearrangement.
2305 Bayview Place is currently 0.26 acres and proposed to be 0.29 acres after the lot line rearrangement.
The lot width of 2305 Bayview Place is currently conforming at 115 feet; however, the lot line
rearrangement would change the front from Bayview Place to Navarre Lane and thus creating a narrower
lot width of 88 feet.
2285 Bayview Place is currently 0.24 acres and will be 0.21 acres after the lot line rearrangement. The lot
width for 2285 Bayview Place is 30 feet currently and proposed to be 87 feet. Variances for lot area and lot
width are required for both 2305 and 2285 Bayview Place in order to move forward with the
administrative lot line adjustment.
Front Yard Setback Variance (Section 78-350) – 2305 Bayview Place
2305 Bayside Place is currently improved with a single-family home. The lot’s current configuration fronts
on Bayview Place, due to that being the shorter of the two street frontages. The current configuration is
nonconforming to both the front yard (Bayview Place) and the corner side yard. The proposed lot line
rearrangement would flip the front to Navarre Lane. This would improve the current home’s
nonconformity. With the proposed lot configuration, the existing home would have a conforming corner
side yard, but would not conform to the 30-foot required setback for the front yard. The existing home is
26.9 feet from the front property line and thus requires a variance.
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,
11
FILE #LA24-000034
July 15, 2024
Page 3 of 5
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 Ordinance is to allow the development of a lot of record, even if it is nonconforming in size
and width. The subject properties are currently nonconforming. The applicant is the owner of
the two properties and wishes to adjust the shared property line. The proposed lot line
adjustment improves the lot configurations and buildability. The proposed lot line adjustment
will bring the current home located on 2305 Bayview Place closer to conformance. This criterion
is met.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The variances allow an administrative lot
line adjustment to take place for two nonconforming lots. The applicant has identified the
necessary practical difficulties inherent to the land supporting their requests. Bringing the
existing home at 2305 Bayview Place closer to conformance is consistent with the goals of the
Comprehensive Plan. This criterion is met.
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 proposed lot line adjustment improves the configuration of
two nonconforming lots. The lot line adjustment brings the current home at 2305
Bayview Place closer to conformance and improves the building envelope of 2285
Bayview Place, which will allow for the development of the lot without additional
variances. The lot line adjustment between two nonconforming lots that improves some
nonconformities is reasonable. This criterion is met.
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; The
substandard size and configuration of the subject properties is not at the result of the
current property owner’s actions; and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The proposed variances
supporting the lot line rearrangement will not alter the character of the area. The
proposed lot configuration is a more standard and predictable development pattern.
The proposed lots will both front on Navarre Lane and will be closer to conformance.
This criterion is met.
Additionally, City Code 78-123 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be granted as
follows:
12
FILE #LA24-000034
July 15, 2024
Page 4 of 5
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 a residential home is a permitted 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 substandard lot sizes, substandard lot widths, and
existing conditions of the properties are unique and specific conditions. This criterion is met.
9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is
located. While there are surrounding properties that are similar in size, the location of the
existing structures on the property and the shape of the lots are unique to the subject
properties. This criterion is met.
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant. The existing configuration of lots does not allow for the
expansion of the existing home at 2305 Bayview Place in a conforming manor. It also limits the
building envelope for the vacant lot at 2285 Bayview Place. The requested variances allowing
the administrative lot line adjustment allows for improved buildability of both lots. This
criterion is met.
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 variances
will not adversely impact health, safety, comfort, or morals of the community. This criterion is
met.
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 allow for an administrative lot line
adjustment to take place for two nonconforming lots. The requested variances and proposed lot
configuration will bring the existing home at 2305 Bayside Place closer to conformance and
allow 2285 Bayside Place to be developed without the need of more variances. This criterion is
met.
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.

character of the neighborhood?
3. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Planning Staff Recommendation
Staff is supportive of the requested variances for lot area, lot width, front yard setback in order to
facilitate an administrative lot line adjustment for 2285 and 2305 Bayview Place.

Project Narra�ve:
I would like to replat my current two proper�es 2305 Bayview Place, Orono, 55391 (a lot with a home on
it) and 2285 Bayview Place, Orono, 55391 (a vacant lot). 2305 Bayview Place currently has a house on it
with a very steep driveway-hill, I would like to as a later phase replace this garage with livable area that
has HVAC, and build a detached garage on the new re-plated lot on the flat surface of the hill. The 2285
Bayview Place lot is an empty lot that I plan to develop / build a new house on. Both lots will become
more conforming from the lot replat.
Thank you,
Mat

Subject: #LA24-000035, Molly Wolf, 2080 North Shore Drive, Variances - Public Hearing
Background
The applicant is requesting side and rear yard setback variances in order to construct a new deck. The
subject property is substandard in size and width. The lot is 0.29 acres when the LR-1A District requires a
minimum of 2 acres. The lot is approximately 105 feet in width when 200 feet in width is the minimum.
The proposed deck is attached to the home and therefore must abide by the principal structure setbacks
of 50 feet from the rear property line and 30 feet from the side property line. The existing home on the
property is nonconforming and approximately 42 feet from the rear property line. The construction of any
rear deck would require a variance. The proposal meets all other zoning requirements, including
hardcover.
Practical Difficulties Analysis
Applicant Submittal Information: The applicant has identified the subject property’s substandard size and
width as practical difficulties. The applicant has stated the deck will provide much needed outdoor
gathering space for the homeowner.
Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: Staff agrees with the applicant’s assessment. The subject
property is substandard and without variances, a rear deck could not be constructed. The substandard size
and width of the lot as well as the placement of the existing home are practical difficulties.

Applicable Regulations:
Side and Rear Yard Setback Variances (Section 78-305)
An attached deck must meet the required principal building setbacks. The setback requirements for the
LR-1A District require a 50-foot rear yard setback and 30-foot side yard setback. The proposed deck will be
24 feet from both the side and rear property lines thus requiring variances.
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 subject
property is substandard in size and width and contains a home that is nonconforming to the
required setbacks. The home does not have a deck currently, and the construction of any deck
on the rear of the home would require a variance. The home is currently 42 feet from the rear
property line and the required setback is 50 feet. The proposed setback of 24 feet for both the
rear and side yard setback is reasonable in respect to the lot’s substandard size. The proposal is
well below the hardcover maximum of 35%. The request to develop a deck on a substandard lot
is in harmony with the general intent of the Ordinance. This criterion is met.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The variances allowing construction of a
deck is consistent with the comprehensive plan. It is reasonable to expect some outdoor living
space, such as a deck, for a single-family home. The subject property is substandard in size and
unable to meet the setback requirements due to the placement of the home on the lot. The
proposal is reasonable and unlikely to impact the neighboring properties. This criterion is met.
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 proposal to construct a deck for a single-family home that
does not currently have outdoor living space is reasonable. The existing home does not
46
FILE #LA24-000035

Page 3 of 4
meet the rear yard setback and therefore the construction of a deck requires a setback
variance. This criterion is met.
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; The
location of the existing home on the lot as well as the substandard size and width of the
lot are out of the control of the homeowner. This criterion is met.
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The proposed variances
allowing construction of a new deck on the rear of the home will not alter the character
of the locality. The proposed deck will meet the setback from the corner side yard and
will be screened from neighboring properties by existing fencing or vegetation.
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 a residential deck attached to a home is a permitted use in the LR-
1A 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 existing position of the home on the lot is unique to this
property. This criterion is met.
9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is
located. The request is specific to this property as it is impacted by the existing location of the
home. This criterion is met.
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant. The existing home does not have outdoor living space in the form
of a deck or patio. The existing home does not meet the required rear yard setback of 50 feet
and therefore a new deck on the rear of the home would require a variance. The proposal will
allow the property owner to enjoy their yard fully. Hardcover and street yard setbacks are met.
This criterion is met.
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 variances
will not adversely impact health, safety, comfort, or morals of the community. This criterion is
met.
47

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 allow for the construction of a new
deck for a single-family home that does not currently have outdoor living space. The requested
setbacks of 24 feet from the rear and side yard setbacks are due to the substandard size of the
lot and placement of the existing home. This criterion is met.
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 applicant has provided neighborhood acknowledgment forms for both impacted neighbors as shown
in Exhibit H.
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, if granted, will not alter the essential
character of the neighborhood?

We are proposing the construction of a 24x16 cedar deck with stairs at the rear of the
house. However; due to the small and substandard size of the lot, we are unable to meet
the required setbacks. The current code is designed for lots that are 200x200 1 whi ch is
significantly larger than our lot.
For the construction of the deck, we plan to use select cedar decking, facing, and posts ..
The railing will be a black aluminum railing manufactured by Wesbury Railings. It will be 36''
tall and will feature¼' spindles placed 4'' on center, allowing for a clear and unobstructed
view through the railings.
The addition of the deck will be the final touch needed to complete the overall look of the
house. The new deck will also provide our family with a wonde rful space to enjoy scenic
views of Lake Minnetonka for gatherings. We appreciate your consideration in this matter,
and if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you,
Molly Wolf

Title: LA24-000027, Bruce Boeder o/b/o SF Real Estate LLC, 3295 and 3345 Fox
Street, Easement Vacation and Interim Use Permit (Staff: Laura Oakden)

review period expires August 11, 2024.
3.Background:
The applicant represents the owner of both properties. The Fullerton Estates plat required creation
of a stormwater pond and drainage easement on the 3295 Fox Street property. The applicant
proposes to vacate the current drainage easement and fill in the existing stormwater pond; a new,

Subject: #LA24-000027, Bruce Boeder o/b/o SF Real Estate LLC 3295 and 3345 Fox
Street, Fullerton Estates, Easement Vacation and Interim Use Permit
PUBLIC HEARING
Background
The applicant represents the owner of both properties and is requesting approvals in order to
move the existing stormwater pond from one property to the other. The Fullerton Estates plat
required creation of a stormwater pond and drainage easement on the 3295 Fox Street
property. The applicant proposes to vacate the current drainage easement and fill in the
existing stormwater pond; a new, replacement pond is proposed on the 3345 Fox Street
property. A replacement drainage easement will be dedicated over the new pond/drainage area
to address stormwater within the Fullerton Estates plat.
The project requires an interim use permit (IUP) due to the size of the disturbance. The total
disturbed area is 1.59 acres (69,2602 sq. ft.). The applicant would like to begin this project in
the fall of 2024 and will restore the area with natural plantings in 2025.
The applicant provided a narrative and drawings detailing how the proposed changes affect
each lot in question, attached.
Applicable Regulations:
Interim Use Permit (Section 78-1726)
An IUP is required when substantial land alterations are proposed that are not associated with a
construction permit. Within the Shoreland Overlay District, a project that disturbs more than
2,500 cubic yards or over 10,000 square feet of area, results in more than 500 cubic yards of
imported/exported material, and/or includes stockpiling of material for more than 180 days
requires an IUP. The project will disturb approximately 8.9 acres (387,684 sq. ft.) with 1.59
acres of total disturbed area which triggers the need for an IUP.
Easement Vacation Analysis
The applicant has indicated that the current easement has created unintended challenges for
their currently vacant lot at 3295 Fox Street. The location of the pond limits the usable building
envelope to the rear of the current parcel and the current drainage easement bisects the entire
Application Summary: The applicant requests approval to fill in and relocate a stormwater
pond including vacation of the drainage easement. An interim use permit is required to create
a replacement pond on the adjacent property. A new, replacement easement will be dedicated
over the new pond.
Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval.

parcel. The current stormwater pond was dedicated as part of the Fullerton Estate plat and was
created to manage the stormwater within that part of the development. The applicant is
proposing to construct a new pond on the abutting parcel at 3345 Fox street and dedicate a new
drainage easement over the stormwater improvement. The changes proposed are relatively
minimal and appear to meet the stormwater protection goals. Permits are required from the
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District will be required because of the alteration to the stormwater
plans for the development.
Interim Use Permit Analysis
Staff finds the proposed project purpose and scope are reasonable. The City Engineer has
reviewed the project. The project will be reviewed again at the time of the administrative
grading permit.
According to Code Section 78-1726, an interim use permit may be granted if the city council
determines that the use will comply with the following:
1) The use is allowed as an interim use in the applicable zoning district; Grading activities
are permitted within the LR-1A Zoning District. This criterion is met.
2) The use will not delay anticipated development or redevelopment of the site; The
grading activities will not impact future site development. This criterion is met.
3) The use will not be in conflict with any provisions of the city code on an ongoing
basis; The plan will be reviewed by our City Engineer and the applicant will be
required to follow City requirements. The project will obtain all necessary permits
with outside agencies including MCWD and NPDES permitting. This criterion is met.
4) The use will not adversely affect the adjacent property, the surrounding
neighborhood, or other uses on the property where the use will be located; The
applicant shall ensure the project scope remains within the property lines, the haul
route is monitored (and cleaned as often as necessary), and that any adverse
impacts are mitigated. This criterion is met.
5) The use will not impose additional unreasonable costs on the public; The project will
not impose additional costs on the public. This criterion is met.
6) The date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty; The
applicant has provided a project timeline which will commence in the Fall of 2024
and will be finalized in 2025. This criterion is met.
7) And the applicant agrees in writing to any conditions that the city council deems
appropriate for the use, including a requirement for a financial security to ensure
removal of all evidence of the use upon termination, and restoration of the site to
prior or better conditions. The conditions shall be set forth in a development
agreement between the property owner and the city, which agreement shall be
recorded with the Hennepin County Recorder or Registrar of Deeds. Approval of the
Interim Use Permit will be done through a resolution that is recorded with the
County. All requirements and conditions will be listed as part of the resolution. This
criterion is met.
Additional Applicable Regulations (Section 78-916)
1) Consistent with the community management plan; The proposed activity on the
residential properties is consistent with the community management plan. The
proposed grade alterations are reasonable.
63

15 July 2024
Page 3 of 4
2) Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as
required by article V, division 3 of the City Code; This criterion is met.
3) Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management; This criterion
is met. The applicant will be obtaining all necessary permits.
4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; This criterion
is not applicable.
5) Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; This
criterion is met.
6) Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is
planned to be used in the future; There is no change of use contemplated. This
criterion is met.
7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character
is called for in the community management plan; The project will not result in a
change in character.
8) Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding
area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan;
This criterion is not applicable.
9) Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the
area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when
compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses; The proposed
land alterations will be contained to the site and will meet all requirements by the
City of Orono and other outside agencies.
10) Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and
activities likely to disturb surrounding uses; No screening or buffer requirements are
required by the City. This criterion is met.
11) Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes,
dust, electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means; The proposed
project will be contained to the subject properties and is not permitted to encroach
on neighboring properties. This criterion is met.
12) Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that
cause a demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties, traffic congestion, or
unsafe access; Access to the property is over the private and public sections of Fox
Street; the pubic portion of Fox Street is a County roadway (CSAH 84). No public
residential streets will be impacted by the project. This criterion is met.
13) Designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area
and to minimize environmental impact; The applicant will obtain all necessary
permits from outside agencies such as MCWD and NPDES permit. The applicant is
working within their private land and is proposing to restore the disturbed area
with natural plantings and vegetation. This criterion is met.
14) All exterior lighting shall be so directed so as not to cast glare toward or onto the
public right-of-way or neighboring residential uses or districts; This criterion is met;
and
15) Not detrimental to the public health, public safety, or general welfare. This criterion
is met.
The Commission may recommend or the Council may impose conditions in granting an IUP. Any
conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the
impact created by the IUP.

Subject: Planning Commission Meeting postponed
The appearance before the Orono Planning Commission next Monday for the Easement Vacation
Request has been postponed until the July 15th Planning Commission Meeting.
I spoke with Laura Oakden, the Orono Community Development Director, and she suggested the
postponement. Most probably the grading necessary to fill in the existing storm water pond and
install the new rain garden will require a grading permit, issued by the City Council. And the Grading
permit will require a public notice. I agreed that it would be the most efficient to request the
84
Easement Vacation along with the issuance of a grading permit at the same meeting of the Planning
Commission and City Council.
Accordingly, I would appreciate it if you could get “cut and fill” calculations to me by June 21st and
any additional information that you could provide regarding the grading.
I need to submit that information by June 21st, to keep on the schedule for the July 15th Planning
Commission and the August 12th City Council Meeting.
That should allow the actual work to be done in late August or more probably early September, as
planned.
Thanks

Section: Public Hearings
Title: #LA24-000038, Lake West Development, 3245 Wayzata Boulevard,
Interim Use Permit, Material Import/Grading (Staff: Laura Oakden)
1.Purpose:
The applicant requests an Interim Use Permit (IUP) to conduct grading and remediation of
contaminated material on site.
2.MN§15.99 Application Deadline:
The application was submitted and deemed complete June 19, 2024, the 60 day review period
expires on August 18, 2024.
3.Background:
The goal of the proposed project is to move the contaminated material on the site to a different
location on-site and cap it following MCPA guidelines. The excavated area will then be filled with
clean soil to create a buildable area for future development. The site has two large wetlands that
bookend the dry land and is located between Wayzata Boulevard and Highway 12. The applicant
plans to remove the trees and demolish the existing building. The existing contaminated area is
roughly 9.86 acres. The project will excavate approximately 5.39 acres and consolidate the
contaminated material to the landfill area of 4.28 acres. The plan identifies that the work will
extend into the edges of the wetlands which will be restored to the pre-existing contours after
waste removal and vegetated. The project will include approximately 67,000 cubic yards of
excavated waste material; the clean soil will be spread over the contaminated material to cap the
new embankment/berm and spread throughout the site. The applicant requests an Interim Use
Permit for grading to create an embankment for the contaminated soil and spread clean soil over
the remainder of the site.
The applicant is currently seeking approval from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) regarding the soil remediation of the contaminated
material on the site.
4.Staff Recommendation:
Planning Staff recommends approval conditioned upon compliance with the permitting
requirements from all applicable jurisdictions.
5.Planning Commission Action Requested:
The Planning Commission should make a motion to recommend approval of the IUP.

Interim Use Permit – Material Import/Grading
Public Hearing
Background
The applicant is currently seeking approval from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District (MCWD) to remediate the soil for contaminated materials on the site. The goal of the
proposed project is to move the contaminated material on site into a large mound and cap it following MCPA
guidelines. The site will then be filled with clean soil to create a buildable area for future development. The
site has two large wetlands that bookend the dry land and is located between Wayzata Boulevard and Highway
12. The applicant plans to remove the trees and demolish the existing building. The existing contaminated
area is roughly 9.86 acres. The project will excavate approximately 5.39 acres and consolidate the
contaminated material to the landfill area of 4.28 acres. The plan identifies that the work will extend into the
edges of the wetlands which will be restored to the pre-existing contours after waste removal and vegetated.
The project will include approximately 67,000 cubic yards of excavated waste material; the clean soil will be
spread over the contaminated material to cap the new embankment/berm and spread throughout the site.
The applicant requests an Interim Use Permit for grading to create an embankment for the contaminated soil
and clean soil for the remainder of the site.
Applicable Regulations:
Interim Use Permit (Section 78-1726)
An Interim Use Permit (IUP) is required when substantial land alterations are proposed that are not associated
with a construction permit. For properties greater than 5 acres, a project that disturbs over 20,000 square feet
of area, results in more than 5,000 cubic yards of imported/exported material, and/or includes stockpiling of
material for more than 180 days requires an IUP. The project will result in approximately 9.86 acres (429,501
sq.ft) of graded area.
Interim Use Permit Analysis
Staff finds that the purpose and scope of the proposed project are reasonable. The City Engineer is reviewing
the project and any comments will be presented for council consideration. The project will be reviewed
again at the time of the administrative grading permit.
According to Code Section 78-1726, an interim use permit may be granted if the city council determines that
the use will comply with the following:
1) The use is allowed as an interim use in the applicable zoning district; Grading activities are permitted
within the RR-1B Zoning District. This criterion is met.
Application Summary: The applicant requests an Interim Use Permit to conduct grading including
remediation of soil and contaminated material on site.
Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval.
103
FILE # LA24-000038
15 July 2024
Page 2 of 3
2) The use will not delay anticipated development or redevelopment of the site; The grading activities
will not impact future site development. This criterion is met.
3) The use will not be in conflict with any provisions of the city code on an ongoing basis; The plan will
be reviewed by our City Engineer and the applicant will be required to follow City requirements.
The project will obtain all necessary permits with outside agencies including MPCA, MCWD, and
NPDES permitting. This criterion is met.
4) The use will not adversely affect the adjacent property, the surrounding neighborhood, or other uses
on the property where the use will be located; The applicant shall ensure the project scope remains
within the property lines, the haul route is monitored (and cleaned as often as necessary), and
that any adverse impacts are mitigated. This criterion is met.
5) The use will not impose additional unreasonable costs on the public; The project will not impose
additional costs on the public. This criterion is met.
6) The date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty; The applicant has
provided a project timeline which will commence in the Fall of 2024 and will be finalized in 2025.
This criterion is met.
7) And the applicant agrees in writing to any conditions that the city council deems appropriate for the
use, including a requirement for a financial security to ensure removal of all evidence of the use
upon termination, and restoration of the site to prior or better conditions. The conditions shall be
set forth in a development agreement between the property owner and the city, which agreement
shall be recorded with the Hennepin County Recorder or Registrar of Deeds. Approval of the Interim
Use Permit will be done through a resolution that is recorded against the property. All
requirements and conditions will be listed as part of the resolution. This criterion is met.
Additional Applicable Regulations (Section 78-916)
1) Consistent with the community management plan; The proposed activity on the residential
properties is consistent with the community management plan. The proposed grade alterations
are reasonable.
2) Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as required by
article V, division 3 of the City Code; This criterion is met.
3) Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management; This criterion is met. The
applicant shall obtain all necessary permits.
4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; This criterion is not
applicable.
5) Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; This criterion is met.
6) Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is planned to be
used in the future; There is no change of use contemplated. This criterion is met.
7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in
the community management plan; The project will not result in a change in character.
8) Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding area, unless a
change of character is called for in the community management plan; This criterion is not
applicable.
9) Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area or have a
materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or
impact of generally permitted uses; The proposed land alterations will be contained to the site and
will meet all requirements by the City of Orono and other outside agencies.
10) Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities likely to
disturb surrounding uses; No screening or buffer requirements are required by the City. This
criterion is met.
104
FILE # LA24-000038
15 July 2024
Page 3 of 3
11) Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes, dust, electrical
interference, general unsightliness, or other means; The proposed project will be contained to the
site and is not permitted to encroach on neighboring properties. This criterion is met.
12) Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that cause a
demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties, traffic congestion, or unsafe access; The access
to the site is from Wayzata Boulevard, a county road. No residential streets will be impacted by
the project. This criterion is met.
13) Designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and to minimize
environmental impact; The applicant shall obtain all necessary permits from outside agencies such
as MCWD, MPCA, and NPDES permit. The project is proposed to move contaminated soil from
one portion of the site to another; the materials will be properly capped and a berm/embankment
will be created consistent with MPCA guidelines. This criterion is met.
14) All exterior lighting shall be so directed so as not to cast glare toward or onto the public right-of-way
or neighboring residential uses or districts; This criterion is met; and
15) Not detrimental to the public health, public safety, or general welfare. This criterion is met.
The Commission may recommend or the Council may impose conditions in granting an IUP. Any conditions
imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the IUP.
Public Comments
To date, no public comments have been received.
Issues for Consideration
1. Does the Planning Commission find that the IUP and subsequent grading permit, if granted, will
not alter the essential character of the neighborhood?
2. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions to mitigate the impacts created by
the granting of the requested grading activity?
3. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Planning Staff Recommendation
Planning Staff recommends approval conditioned upon compliance with the permitting requirements from all
applicable jurisdictions.

Re: Narrative for Interim Use Permit for 3245 Wayzata Blvd West
Lake West is submitting an Interim Use Permit (IUP) application to the City of Orono to seek
approval for the environmental cleanup of the property located at 3245 Wayzata Blvd W.,
commonly known as the Eisinger property. The IUP would allow grading as a remediation activity
that aims to address environmental concerns identified on-site.
Our plan includes grading and comprehensive soil remediation measures to ensure the removal
and proper containment of contaminants in accordance with the MPCA’s regulations and best
practices. The project will be overseen by qualified professionals to minimize environmental
impact and ensure safety.
We kindly request approval to proceed with this necessary and long overdue environmental
cleanup to safeguard public health and comply with regulatory requirements for future
development. Please find enclosed all the required documentation detailing the proposed
environmental cleanup that would commence upon approval of this IUP. This cleanup process
that’s been discussed over time is expected to span a few seasons, during which Lake West will
continue with development plans, understanding that both endeavors require some time.
Thank you for considering our application to initiate the cleanup of this property. Should you
require any additional information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us at your
earliest convenience.

Title: #LA24-000036, Mark & Mary Enger, 2697 Casco Point Road, Hardcover
Variance (Staff: Melanie Curtis)
1.MN§15.99 Application Deadline:
The application was submitted and considered complete on June 19, 2024, the 60 day review
period expires on August 18, 2024.
2.Background:
The applicants built a new home in 2019. In 2020 they identified challenges in their driveway
design and requested a hardcover variance. They were granted a variance (Resolution 7125,
Exhibit G) to permit an additional 100 square feet of driveway hardcover for a paved
turnaround.
At this time they are requesting additional consideration to increase the size of the driveway
turnaround from 10’ x 10’ to 12’ x 18’ (with a small flare) resulting in an additional 116 square
feet of hardcover or 26.3% where 25.7% was approved. Please refer to the staff report attached as
Exhibit A for a comprehensive analysis.
3.Staff Recommendation:
Staff understands and appreciates the plight of the applicants, however, staff cannot recommend
approval of the hardcover variance.
4.Planning Commission Action Requested:
Staff recommends denial. However, if the Commission finds that the practical difficulties support
granting an additional hardcover variance to accommodate the 216-square-foot turnaround, a
recommendation for approval may be appropriate.

Variance
Public Hearing
Background
The applicants are the owners of the property. They built a new home in 2019. The new home project was
designed to conform to the Tier 1, 25% hardcover limitation. After experiencing a winter in the home, the
owners identified challenges in their driveway design. They requested and received a hardcover variance to
permit an additional 100 square feet of driveway hardcover to allow a paved turnaround to ease
maneuverability (Resolution No. 7125, Exhibit G).
They are requesting additional consideration to increase the size of the driveway turnaround from 10’ x 10’ to
12’ x 18’ with a small flare which results in an additional 116 square feet of hardcover or 26.3% where 25.7%
was approved.
Practical Difficulties Analysis
Applicant Submittal Information: The applicants have identified the same practical difficulties as the 2020
variance request including safety, the busy roadway, narrow driveway width, slope, and the location of the
driveway easement supporting their variance. Additionally, they have provided supporting documentation
regarding Practical Difficulties attached as Exhibit C, and should be asked for additional testimony regarding the
application.
Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: Regarding practical difficulty, Staff suggests that the practical
difficulty with the driveway was resolved by the previously approved variance.

Applicable Regulations:
Hardcover Variance (Sections 78-1288 and 78-1700)
The applicants are requesting approval for 116 square feet of hardcover. As with the 2020 review, there are very
few areas on the property where hardcover can be reduced or removed. The length of the driveway and the
steepness of the road approach are challenging, however, the previous variance approval provided relief in
allowing a turnaround area to be created.
Section 78-1681. Driveways, in general.
All driveways shall comply with the following minimum dimensional standards:
1. Driveways serving end loading garages shall maintain a width equivalent to the width of all
overhead doors extending 15 feet out from the garage doors.
2. Driveways serving side loading garages shall provide a minimum turn around or back up depth of
20 feet, as measured from the garage door(s).
3. Minimum driveway taper ratio shall be 2:1.
4. Driveways shall be at least eight feet in width at the street or private road.
5. A turnaround shall be provided for a driveway with direct access to an arterial or collector
roadway, or for a side load garage as determined necessary by the city planner. The minimum
dimensions of the turnaround shall be eight feet in width by 12 feet in depth.
6. "Wheel strip" driveways are allowed, but the entire width of the driveway (from outside to outside
of the strips) will be considered hardcover.
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 requested
variance to increase the hardcover level by an additional 116 square feet is not in harmony with the
purpose of the Ordinance. While the substandard lot has difficulties in its slope, small size and depth, and
unique configuration, the owners were allowed to create a minimal 100-square-foot back-up apron to
allow better maneuverability. This criterion is not met.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The previously granted hardcover variance
allowed the creation of a minimal turnaround addressing the owners’ safety concerns. The City code
requires a 12’ x 8’ turnaround on residential driveways accessing an arterial or collector roadway. The
applicants’ request for a 12’ x 18’ turnaround is inconsistent with the comprehensive plan. This criterion is
not met.
129
FILE #LA23-000036
15 July 2024
Page 3 of 4
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 variance request to allow further expansion of the driveway hardcover is
not reasonable and is not supported by practical difficulties. This criterion is not met.
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; The shared
driveway access, length and narrowness of the property, and the lot’s topography were not
the result of actions by the owners. However, the driveway design should have been
evaluated in 2019 when the property was redeveloped. The 2020 variance provided relief to a
somewhat self-created difficulty. Further requests to incrementally expand the driveway
hardcover are not supported by practical difficulty; and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. It is staff’s opinion that the
current request to increase the size of the turnaround area by 120 square feet, which is larger
than a required turnaround on properties abutting collector or arterial roadways, will alter the
essential character.
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.
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. A residential
driveway 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 sloped topography, lot width and depth, and shared driveway
situation are particular to this property. Any difficulties caused by these factors should have been
alleviated by the 2020 variance approval.
9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is
located. The street adjacent to this lot is elevated substantially higher than the house. The slope
conditions and orientation of the access to Casco Point Road do not generally apply to the other
properties in the LR-1C district. However, the applicants’ proposed turnaround area is significantly
larger than the required turnarounds on properties accessing the higher-trafficked collector roads.
This criterion is not met.

10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant. The owners have stated that granting the hardcover variance is
necessary for the preservation of their property rights.
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 a hardcover variance to allow for a
safer driveway in this situation is not contrary to the intent of the zoning chapter. However, the
solution requested is not proportionate to the difficulty.
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 increase in the turnaround area exceeds the minimal
amount necessary to alleviate the identified practical difficulties which should have been satisfied by
the 2020 variance. A larger driveway configuration would serve as a convenience, not a necessity, for
the owners. This criterion is not met.
The Commission may recommend or the Council may impose conditions in granting 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
There have been no comments from the public on this application.
Issues for Consideration
1. Does the Planning Commission find that the property owner proposes to use the property in a
reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control?
2. Do the unique characteristics of the property warrant a driveway turnaround exceeding the size of a
required turnaround for a property on a busy highway and county road by 116 square feet?
3. Does the Planning Commission find that the larger driveway turnaround area, if granted, will not alter
the essential character of the neighborhood?
4. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions to mitigate the impacts created by the
granting of the requested variance?
5. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Planning Staff Recommendation
While understanding and appreciating the plight of the applicant, the Planning staff cannot recommend
approval of the variance. Staff encourages the Commissioners to visit this property. The previously approved
variance allowing the 10’ x 10’ turnaround should have alleviated the difficulties identified by the applicants.
If the Commission finds that the practical difficulties support granting an additional hardcover variance to
accommodate the 216-square-foot turnaround, a recommendation for approval may be appropriate.

PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES DOCUMENTATION FORM
LA20-000058
1. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the Zoning Chapter.
Response: By this variance request, we are asking to be allowed to provide a minimally normal access functionality to our
property. With one of our primary considerations being the safety of those attempting to have vehicle access to our property•
To accomplish this we are asking for the addition of a hardcover area that would reasonably accommodate a turnaround
option for vehicles exiting the property. The reason being that the current minimum standard driveway does not provide for
this and poses multiple safety and practicality issues. One of those issues is that of requiring vehicles to exit in reverse back
up mode, going up a steep curved, narrow driveway directly onto the very busy Casco Point Road. Further oomplicating the
exit is at the point of road entry there are blind spots created by the curvature of the road and adjacent property trees and
foliage. There are additional negative impacts on the property created by the lack of a turnaround space, which are identified in this application.
2. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner.
Response: The 100 year old lot is narrow, long and fairly steep with the house set in the lower flat valley point of the lot
The main road is accessible via a long narrow, curved driveway. The driveway is such in order to oomply with the current
hardoover requirements. The driveway utilizes almost as much hardcover as the house as noted in the hardcover calculation
worksheet. The historical hardcover requirements were based on a tiered system which included criteria that took into account
the length of the lot. This obsolete system was designed to accommodate and thus prevent the hardoover hardship that we
have incurred by such a lot as ours. The functionality of the lot is severely compromised under the current hardcover requirements, as a major portion of all the hardcover must be used solely for driveway access to the main road due to the
length of the lot.
3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Response: If granted, the variance request would resolve the issues identified but would not change in any way the
character of the locality.
4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties if reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the Zoning Chapter.
Response: Not applicable
5. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy
;;ystems. Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section
116J.06, Subd. 2, when in harmony with this Chapter.
Response: The lack of a hardcover turnaround presents another burden in terms of snow removal. The most effective and
available means for snow removal for a driveway the length of ours is to use a plow service. However, we have been unable
to find a plow service that could/would do the work because of the maneuverability constraints on the driveway. We are
retirement age, and given the long length of the driveway leaves us in a quandary as to how we would be able to age in place
in our home or be able to exit our home in the winter months without the requested turnaround area. We also have concern,
that should we or anyone in our home, require an emergency response, would those responders be able to quickly and
expeditiously exit the property.
The maneuverability_ difficulties incurred by those who use the driveway, has also caused tree loss and landscape damage as
seen m �e pictures included in this application. The feedback from visitors who have experienced the many hardships related to our driveway say they do not to come back or use it again.
6. The Board of A_ppeals 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.
133
8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property.
Response: The driveway required on our type and size of lot does present some unique conditions as it is or may be
proportionately the longest driveway in the area. The neighbor to the south does have a comparable lot configuration which
indudes a long driveway. This neighbor does have a hardcover turnaround similar to what we are requesting. The many
issues we are encountering because of the lack of a turnaround were alleviated for the neighbor with a hardcover turnaround.
9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which said land is located.
Response: Not applicable
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial propertyright of the applicant.
Response: The current driveway limitations, ongoing and seasonal, do not allow for safe, reasonable use of the property. Granting the requested variance, is the minimum means to make the property functional. The current conditions are definitely
stressful, anxiety producing and can cause damage. The request we are making is unrelated to any level of enjoyment but rather would make the property safe, useable and livable.
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: The granting of the request will not in any way impair health, safety or comfort, on the contrary, it is being
requested for the purpose of improving safety and increasing the comfort and ease in which the property can be utilized. It
may also be considered, that the variance approval, by mitigating some of the issues identified in the application, would
contribute to the well being of all those who visit the property. The impact is a positive one.
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 burdens and difficulties caused by the lack of a hardcover turnaround presented in this application, represent
a true hardship to the property owners. The current conditions do not allow for the safe, reasonable use of the property. Not
all who enter the property have the driving skills to navigate and accomplish a reverse exit from the property. Even those able
to maneuver a reverse exit still have to enter a very busy road with double blind spots. The practical difficulties that arise are
beyond inconvenience, they leave the property at times inaccessible and in a dangerous condition. Alternatives such as street
parking are fraught with additional safety and access concerns. Given the age and mobility concerns of many of our visitors, a
turnaround is the best option for suitable entry and exit access to our property.
We invite all to visit the property to see and experience first hand the concerns we have presented in this application.
We respectfully request that our variance application for a hardcover turnaround be approved to provide for the safety, basic
functionality and prevention of damage to our property.

APPROVING A VARIANCE FROM
MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE
SECTIONS 78-1288; 78-1680; and 78-1700
FILE NO. LA20-000058
WHEREAS, on August 19, 2020, Mark Enger and Mary Enger("Applicants"), applied
for a variance from the City Code for the property addressed 2697 Casco Point Road and legally
described as:
Lot 4, Auditors Subdivision 265, Hennepin County, Minnesota, (hereinafter the
Property");
WHEREAS, the Applicants have made application to the City of Orono for a
variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-1288 and 78-1700 to allow 25.7%
hardcover where 25% is the maximum allowed in conjunction with the installation of a 10'x10'
driveway backup apron and 43 square feet of unaccounted for hardcover; and
WHEREAS, on September 21, 2020, 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 given the
opportunity to speak thereon; and
WHEREAS, on September 21, 2020, the Planning Commission recommended
approval of the variance; and
WHEREAS, on October 12, 2020, 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 variance as described above based on one or more of the
following findings of fact concerning the Property:

iOAtp CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. 7125
ikESH0v-0
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #LA20-000058. 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.
2. The Property is located in the LR-1C One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District.
3. The Property contains 20,509 square feet, 0.47 acres in area and has a defined lot width
of 60 feet.
4. The Property is within Tier 1 and hardcover is limited to 25% according to the Stormwater
Quality Overlay District.
5. Applicant has applied for the following:
a. Hardcover Variance
6. 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:
1. "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 substandard lot has difficulties in its slope, small size and depth,
and unique configuration with the driveway easement and Casco Point Road.
2. "Variances shall only be permitted . . . when the variances are consistent with the
comprehensive plan." The hardcover variance is requested to alleviate a difficulty on the
Property relating to the slope, narrowness of the lot, and depth of the lot, and the Owners'
safety concern relating to the challenging driveway configuration which is not inconsistent
with the comprehensive plan.
3. "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:

lkESHO
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 variance request to allow expansion of the driveway hardcover may be
reasonable and may be supported by the practical difficulties found in the restricted
maneuverability which results from the narrow width and orientation on the
Property in addition to the steep access to the elevated, highly trafficked roadway
is not unreasonable.
b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created
by the landowner.
A number of the difficult characteristics of the Property were not created by the
owners: depth and narrowness of the lot; shared driveway access to the busy
roadway; and topography.
c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality."
The minimal hardcover variance is requested to provide better maneuverability on the
driveway and it will not alter the essential character.
4. "Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties." Economic
considerations have not been a factor in the variance analysis.
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.
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 a driveway serving a 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 sloped topography, lot width and depth,
and shared driveway situation are particular to this property.

9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the
land is located."The street adjacent to this lot is at a substantially higher elevation than the
home. The slope conditions and orientation of the access to the busy roadway do not
generally apply to the other properties in the LR-1 C district.
10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant."The owners indicate that granting the hardcover
variance is necessary for safe egress from the Property which preserves their property
right.
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 a hardcover
variance to allow for a safer driveway in this 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 practical difficulties inherent to the
lot's topography, narrowness and depth, and limited shared driveway access to the high
traffic roadway support the variance. The granting of the variance would alleviate safety
concerns for the owners, rather than convenience. This criterion is met.
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 78-1288 and 78-1700 to allow 25.7% hardcover
where 25% is the maximum allowed, subject to the following conditions:
1. Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings.
2. The approved project shall conform to the annotated as-built survey dated 06/19/2019
submitted by the Applicants and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as
Exhibit A.
3. Any amendments to the plans which are not in conformity with City codes may require
further Planning Commission and City Council review.
4. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the Applicants, but are
permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a zoning permit for the new driveway
paving and commencing construction of said project. The paving must be completed
within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variance will expire on that date
October 12, 2021).

Subject: #LA24-000037, Mark Ferry & Elizabeth Flynn Ferry, 3545 Ivy Place
Average Lakeshore Setback Variance
Public Hearing
Background
The applicants are the new owners of the subject property which
is situated near the north end of Ivy Place. The property’s
lakeshore faces the cove. The neighboring property at 3535 Ivy
Place has a flag-like configuration which wraps around the subject
property; the home is located entirely behind the applicants’
property. An average lakeshore setback variance is required to
redevelop the property.
Practical Difficulties Analysis
Applicant Submittal Information: The applicant has identified the
lot orientation and the location of the neighbor’s home as practical
difficulties supporting the requested variance. Additionally, they
have provided supporting documentation regarding Practical
Difficulties attached as Exhibit C, and should be asked for
additional testimony regarding the application.
Planning Staff Practical Difficulty Analysis: Regarding practical difficulty, Staff finds there are several impediments
to developing the property including existing utility easements crossing over the property, the unique orientation
of the subject and neighboring properties as well as the irregular shape of the neighbor’s lot which eliminate the
buildable area on the subject property.

Applicable Regulations:
Average Lakeshore Setback Variance (Section78-1279)
The purpose of the average lakeshore setback requirement is to protect and preserve views of the lake over a
subject property from the neighboring homes. Application of the average lakeshore setback results in no
buildable area on this property. The proposed home will offer approximately 20 additional feet of lake-view area
compared to the existing (see the overlay, Exhibit G). There is an existing nonconforming shed located 32.6 feet
from the OHWL of the lake and entirely within the 100-year floodplain. The applicants are proposing to keep the
shed; it cannot be replaced or substantially improved according to the City’s floodplain regulation (Sec. 78-1149).
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 Property includes
difficulties in its topography, the utility easement encroachments, and the orientation of the adjacent
property and home. The average lakeshore setback variance will not further impact views of the lake
157
FILE # LA24-000037
15 July 2024
Page 3 of 4
for the affected adjacent property. According to the plan, the view to the lake will be improved on the
west side. This criterion is met.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The proposed variance to build a new home on
the 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 a new home in the proposed location within the
average lakeshore setback appears to be reasonable considering the orientation of the
neighboring home and lot shape, utility easements, and topography. The new home will
improve the view of the lake for the neighbor compared to the existing condition.
b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; The shape and
orientation of the neighbor’s property and the location of the neighbor’s home result in no
legal building envelope. The new home shape and location will offer an improved view of the
lake for the affected neighbor. The circumstances are unique to the Property; and
c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The variance is requested to
permit the construction of a new home in a similar location that will not adversely impact the
character of the neighborhood.
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 a single-family 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 property’s unique orientation to the lakeshore and the adjacent
homes creates difficulties for the Owners in improving 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 unique shape and the extreme setback of the adjacent home on the “flag lot”
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. Granting the average lakeshore setback variance is necessary for the preservation
of the property rights of the owners.
158
FILE # LA24-000037
15 July 2024
Page 4 of 4
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 is necessary and does not merely serve as a
convenience to the Applicants.
The Commission may recommend or Council may impose conditions in granting 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 applicants have submitted acknowledgment forms from neighbors (Exhibit K) no public comments have been
received.
Issues for Consideration
1. Does the Planning Commission find 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 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 average lakeshore setback as applied.

3545 Ivy Lane Narrative
Average Lakeshore Setback Variance Request
6/19/2024
To Orono City Staff, Planning Commission and City Council:
We have recently purchased the property at 3545 Ivy Place and would like to redevelop this special lot
with a new single-family home. As we have begun the planning, we’ve learned that although there is
currently a similar home on the property, we will need an Average Lakeshore Setback (ALS) variance to
redevelop there.
Currently, the ALS would not allow the current or a new home to be built without a variance. This
property is located at the end of Ivy Place and has only one adjacent neighbor. That neighbor’s home is
behind this one but has some land that extends to the side of this property, providing lakeshore access
which is why a variance is needed.
The proposed home meets all other requirements and is aligned to the Orono Comprehensive Plan.
Similar to the current structure, this will be a walkout rambler to not increase massing, set-back beyond
75 feet from the shore, with an impervious surface of 18% (below the 25% maximum), with a height
under 22’. The placement of the new home is very similar to the current structure, does not cause any
new obstacles for the adjacent neighbor, and improves the sight lines. The styling of the home is also
similar to others in the neighborhood.
We’ve been searching for the right lakeshore property for over 5 years and are so excited to have the
opportunity to redevelop this special lot on Casco Point. We respectfully request that the ALS variance
be granted so we can start the building process.
Thank you,
Beth Flynn-Ferry and Mark Ferry
Owners, 3545 Ivy Place

PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES DOCUMENTATION FORM
LA24-000037
1. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted
by the Zoning Chapter.
Response: The property owner is requesting to redevelop the property by building a new single-
family home of similar size, setback and hardcover as the current home.
2. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created
by the landowner.
Response: This property is located on Casco Cove which has a curved shoreline. There is one
adjacent neighbor whose home is behind the proposed redeveloped home but has a small piece of
land that gives them lake access, which creates the need for the average lakeshore variance. The
redeveloped home will not present any new obstructions for the adjacent neighbor.
3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Response: The redeveloped single family home will be similar to others in the neighborhood so will
not alter the character of the locality.
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
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 Minnesota Statutes, Section 116J.06, Subd. 2, when in harmony with this
Chapter.
Response: N/A
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 property is located on Casco Cove which has a curved shoreline. The existing home is
in a non-conforming location due to one adjacent neighbor’s home which is located behind the
property that has a small piece of land next to the property that allows them lakeshore access. The
162
proposed plan does not provide any additional obstructions.
9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which
said land is located.
Response: N/A
10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant.
Response: If the variance is not granted, the property would not be redevelopable for the applicant
or any future applicants.
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: The proposed redevelopment is similar in square footage, height, setback, and hardcover
as the current dwelling and will not impair health, safety, comfort, morals or be contrary in any other
way to the intent of the Zoning Code.
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 would allow for the redevelopment of a single-family home on a similar
footprint and scale as the existing home, while improving sight lines for the adjacent neighbor
