comments by the applicants and the public, 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 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 variances to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-1279 and 78-568 to allow
construction of a new cabin with a footprint which replicates that of the footprint shown
on the survey dated September 9, 1935, 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.
Page 2 of 5
2. The structure which is constructed on the lot shall generally be in accordance with
the footprint shown on the survey dated September 9, 1935 but in no event shall
such structure be located nearer than 75' to the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka nor
shall hardcover exceed the allowable limits.
3. A current survey and proposed hardcover calculations be submitted with the
building permit application for the new structure.
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 building
permit for the new construction within one year of the date of Council approval,
or the variance will expire on that date (October 27, 2004).
5. 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.
6. The undersigned applicants have read, understand and hereby agree to the terms
of this resolution and on behalf of the applicants and the applicants' heirs,
successors and assigns, hereby agree to the recording of this resolution in the

All setbacks are approximates. A current survey will be required in conjunction with the
building permit application and all required setbacks must be met. The applicant is
proposing to mirror the structure that existed in 1935, which is the structure shown on the
submitted survey. The setbacks and lot information below was taken from the submitted
survey, dated September 9, 1935, and are subject to change slightly but in no
circumstance will variances be granted to these requirements. The applicant has
proposed a cabin of the same footprint indicated on the submitted survey (approximately
1,880 s.f.).
Lot Area/Width:
RS Lot Area Lot Width
Required 217,800 s.f. (5 acres) 50'

Structural Coverage:
#03-2955
October 20, 2003
Page 3 of5
The property is not subject to structural coverage requirements as it is over 1.99 acres, in
accordance with Section 78-1403.
Hardcover Calculations:
No hardcover currently exists on the property other than the old foundation from the
previous cabin. The applicant has indicated that he will build around this foundation but
follow the same footprint as the old cabin indicated on the submitted survey from 193 5.
From the submitted survey it appears that the cabin is located exclusively in the 75-250'
zone and no structure or hardcover exists in the 0-75' zone. The building footprint on the
submitted survey meets all hardcover requirements for the 75-250' zone. The second
residence located on the southern property boundary and the ice house ( shown on the
1935 survey) no longer exists on the property and the applicant has indicated that he will
only be constructing the cabin. Under no circumstances will hardcover variances be
permitted and the applicant must submit hardcover calculations with the building permit
application.
Average Lakeshore Setback Variance
The property is located on a point on the north western side of Big Island. The
configuration of the property and location of the homes to the east and west of the subject
property put the subject's property entirely within the average lakeshore setback as
shown in Exhibit C. The applicant would not be allowed to construct any structure on the
property if an average lakeshore setback variance wasn't granted. The proposed structure
would encroach approximately 150 feet into the average lakeshore setback.
Lot Area Variance
Currently, no structures exist on site. Because the applicant is proposing to build a cabin
and the property is under the 5.0 acre minimum a variance is required to build. The lot is
a legal lot of record and therefore buildable. Further, it was granted buildable status as
part of the creation of the RS District in 1983 (Section 78-568 (b), Record Lot No. 13).
Hardship Statement
Applicant has provided a brief hardship statement in Exhibit A, and should be asked for
additional testimony regarding the application.
Hardship Analysis
In considering applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the
proposed variance upon the health, safety and we/fare 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 undue hardship 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 keep inf! with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zoninf! Code.

Staff finds that a hardship exists merely in the configuration of the applicant's property
and the property to the east. The applicant's property is located on a point putting the
entire property in the average lakeshore setback. Also, the property to the east is very
large (17.5 acres) with the home having over a 500' setback.
Staff also finds that a hardship exists for approval of the lot area variance. This variance
is routine when properties are rebuilt. This approval would be subject to the proposed
structure meeting all other setback and hardcover regulations.
Staff would make the following recommendations in regards to the criteria for "undue
hardship" pertinent to this application:
1. "The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under
conditions allowed by the official controls."
A structure could not be built on this property without the requested variances.
The lot is a legal lot of record and therefore the applicant should be able to build
on the lot. Also, a structure could not be built anywhere on the lot without
approval of an average lakeshore setback.
2. "The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not
created by the landowner."
The configuration of the property and the surrounding properties, and that the
property is located on a point creates unique hardship not created by the
landowner.
3. "The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality."
A variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The applicant is
proposing a 3-season cabin for summer use only which is the usual use on Big
Island. Also, the applicant is proposing the mirror the cabin that existed in the
1930 's falling within the character of Big Island.
4. "Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if
reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the Zoning Chapter."
Not applicable
5. "Undue hardship also includes, but is 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."
Not applicable
6. "The Board of Appeals and Adjustments 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."
A residential structure/cabin is permitted in the RS Zoning District.
#03-2955
October 20, 2003
Page 5 of5
7. "The Board or Council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a
one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling."
Not applicable
8. "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar
to such property or immediately adjoining property."
A special condition applying to the land is that the property exists on a point and
the configurations of the property to the east cause a very restrictive average
lakeshore setback. The special condition applying to the lot area variance is that
a structure currently doesn't exist on the lot but has in the past.
9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in
which said land is located."
This proposal does not apply generally to other land or structures on Big Island
but is common with properties that exist on points.
10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment
of a substantial property right of the applicant."
The granting of the average lakeshore setback and lot area variances are
required for the applicant to use his property in an allowed manner.
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."
The granting of the proposed variances will not in any way be detrimental to the
public or intent of the Zoning Ordinance.
12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the
applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or difficulty."
The granting of the variance is necessary for the applicant to build on his
property and alleviate demonstrable hardships.
Issues for Consideration
1. Is the unique aspect of this property being located on a point enough to justify
variance approval?
2. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Staff Recommendation
Approval of the average lakeshore setback variance and the lot area variances subject to
the following:
1. The structure shall be constructed in accordance with the footprint shown on the
survey dated September 9, 2003.
2. A current survey and proposed hardcover calculations be submitted with the
building permit application.
3. No other setback or hardcover variances be required.

Sec.13.04 RIGHTS OF SUBJECTS OF DATA
Subdivision 1. Type of data. The rights of individual on whom the data is stored or to
be stored shall be as set forth in this section.
Subd. 2. Information required to be given individual. An individual asked to supply
private or confidential data concerning himself shall be informed of: (a) the purpose and intended
use of the requested data within the collecting state agency, political subdivision, or statewide
system; (b) whether he may refuse or is legally required to supply the requested data; ( c) any
known consequence arising from his supplying or refusing to supply private or confidential data;
and ( d) the identity of other persons or entities authorized by state or federal law to receive the
data. This requirement shall not apply when an individual is asked to supply investigative data,
pursuant to section 13.82, subdivision 5, to a law enforcement officer.
The commissioner of revenue may place the notice required under this subdivision in the
individual income tax or property tax refund instructions instead of on those forms.
Subd. 3. Access to data by individual. Upon request to a responsible authority, an
individual shall be informed whether he is the subject of stored data on individuals, and whether
it is classified as public, private or confidential. Upon his further request, an individual who is
the subject of stored private or public data on individuals shall be shown the data without any
charge to him and, if he desires, shall be informed of the content and meaning of that data. After
an individual has been shown the private data and informed of its meaning, the data need not be
disclosed to him for six months thereafter unless a dispute or action pursuant to this section is
pending or additional data on the individual has been collected or created. The responsible
authority shall provide copies of the private or public data upon request by the individual subject
of the data. The responsible authority may require the requesting person to pay the actual costs
of making, certifying, and compiling the copies.
The responsible authority shall comply immediately, if possible, with any request made
pursuant to this subdivision, or within five days of the date of the request, excluding Saturdays,
Sundays and legal holidays, if immediate compliance is not possible. If he cannot comply with
the request within that time, he shall so inform the individual, and may have an additional five
days within which to comply with the request, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays.
Subd. 4. Procedure when data is not accurate or complete. An individual may contest
the accuracy or completeness of public or private data concerning himself. To exercise this right,
an individual shall notify in writing the responsible authority describing the nature of the
disagreement. The responsible authority shall within 30 days either: (a) correct the data found
to be inaccurate or incomplete and attempt to notify past recipients of inaccurate or incomplete
