A RESOLUTION GRAINING
A VARIANCE TO
MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE
SECTION 10.28, SUBDIVISION 5 (B)
FILE 01071
WHEREAS, Colin Kelly and Lona Jane Shaughnessy
(hereinafter "the applicants") are the owners of the property
located at 95 Brown Road South within the City of Orono
(hereinafter 'City") and legally described as follows:
Lc't 2, Block 1, Kelley Green, Hennepin County, Minnesota
(hereinafter "the property"); and
WHEREAS, the applicants have applied to the City for a
variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.28, Subdivision 5
(B) to permit the construction of a single family residence to be
located 37.3 feet from the front lot line and 33.9 feet from the
rear lot line where front and rear yard setbacks of 50 feet are
normally required.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
Orono, Minnesota:
FINDINGS
1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File 11071.
2. The property iL locLted in the RR -IB Single Family
Rural Residential Zoning District.
3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application
on September 15, 1986, and recommended approval of the
proposed variances based upon the following findings:
A) The narrowness of this recently created lot is a
hnardshir in that it leaves little flexibility in
locating the house to fit the !.andsra?e. Under code
requirements the allowable building ;;s;vr lope without
variances is only 44' deep.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. 2048
B) The proposed house location maintains at least a 60'
separation distance to the nearest adjacent residence,
which is the minimal residential side yard separation
distance allowed in the RR -113 zone. The orientation of
the house is such that the windowless north wall will
face the neighboring property to the north, affording
both applicant and neighbor a greater degree of
privacy.
C) Topography and existing low lands on the property,
and the necessity of providing a septic system on the
property, are factors that make the proposed house
locations and orientation the most feasible for this
property.
4. The City Council has considered this application
including the findings and recommendations of the Planning
Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant
and the effect of the proposed variance on the health,
safety and welfare of the community.
5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on
this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally
to other property in this zoning district; that granting the
variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions,
light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to
neighboring property; would not merely serve as a
convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate
a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to pre-
serve a substantial property right of the applicant; and
would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning
Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.
CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS
Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council
hereby grants a variance to the Municipal Zoning Code Section
10.28, Subdivision 5 (B) to permit the construction of a single
family residence in a location 37.3 feet from the front let line
and 33.9 feet from the rear lot line, subject to the following
copditions:
