A RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCES 'P
TO MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE
SECTION 78-330 (B) AND DENYING A VARIANCE
TO ZONING CODE SECTION 78-1435
• FILE NO. 04-3054
WHEREAS, Jon Blackstone and Gail Blackstone, husband and wife
(hereinafter "the applicants") are the owners of the property located at 4475 Forest Lake
Landing within the City of Orono (hereinafter the "City") and legally described as
follows:
Lots 22 and 23, TONKAVIEW GARDENS, HENNEPIN COUNTY,
MINNESOTA
(hereinafter the "property"); and
WHEREAS, the applicants have made application to the City of Orono
for a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-330 (B) to allow construction
of a new residence on an existing lot where the lot width is 110 feet at the public right-of-
way when 140 feet is nonnally required, and a variance to Section 78-1435 to allow the
continuation of an accessory building located between the residence and the front lot line
where no such structure is allowed.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
Orono, Minnesota:
FINDINGS
1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #04-3054.
2. The property is located in the LR — 1B zoning district, which requires a
minimum lot area of 1 acre. The applicants' property is 0.886 acres
meeting the 80% requirement for administrative lot area variance
approval.

3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing
held on October 18, 2004 and recommended approval of the lot width
variance based on the following findings:
a. The lot exceeds the administrative approval requirement for area at
0.886 acres when 80% of the required 1 acre or 0.80 acres is required.
b. The proposed new residence will meet all setback, hardcover, and lot
coverage standards established under the Zoning Ordinance.
c. The lot at 110 feet at the public right-of-way is only 2 feet short of
meeting the administrative approval standard of 80% of the
requirement (140 feet) or 112 feet.
d. The lot is closer to conformance than most other lots along Forest
Lake Landing where lot widths are as small as 50 feet at the public
right-of-way.
e. The steep slopes on the property will require that extra ordinary
attention be paid to the grading plan to ensure no new negative
drainage impacts to the neighborhood.
4. The Planning Commission found no hardships that would support the
continuation of the non-conforming accessory building; noting it would be
out of character with the neighborhood.
5. The City Council has considered this application including the findings
and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff,
comments by the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed
variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
6. 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 applicants, but is
necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to
preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; 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 one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby
grants a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-330 (B) to allow
construction of a new residence on an existing lot where the lot width is 110 feet at the
public right-of-way when 140 feet is normally required, and denies a variance to Section
78-1435 for continuation of the non-conforming accessory building, subject to the
following conditions:
1. Council approval is based on the site plan submitted by the applicants and
annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A. Any
amendments to the site plan which are not in conformity with City codes will
require further Planning Commission and City Council review.
2. Hardcover in the 75'-250' zone shall be limited to 25% and hardcover in the 250'-
500' zone shall be limited to 30%. Applicants are advised that future requests to
increase hardcover above 25% or 30% in the 75'-250' or 250'-500' zones
respectively shall require a hardcover variance and will not likely be approved.
3. The existing accessory building shall be removed or moved to a conforming
location upon the first inspection required for the new residence. If the accessory
building has not been removed or moved to a conforming location a "stop work
order" will be posted and construction of the new residence cannot continue until
this requirement has been met.
4. The building permit shall not be issued until the City Inspector has approved the
grading and drainage plan for the site.
5. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the property not with the
applicants, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building
permit for the new construction within one year of the date of Council approval,
or the variance will expire on that date (November 8, 2005).
6. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this
resolution shall constitute a violation of the zoning code, shall automatically
terminate any authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor.
