N O. e� � o � � SH � 6. From August 15, 1989 through September 11, 1990, the Art Center of Minnesota (formerly Minnetonka Art Center) leased the facility from the new owner for the purpose of continuing use of the facility for art instruction purposes. 7. From the later part of 1990 through May 1994, the facility has served as a licensed day care and a dance school. 8. From the late 1800's to the present, the facility has never been used as a residential dwelling. 9. As required by Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivision 5, the applicant ha's filed for an amendment to a conditional use permit to allow Lake Minnetonka Environmental School to locate in the building. � 10. On May 19, 1997, the Orono Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the conditional use permit amendment based on the following unique findings: a. The previous use as a school has existed prior to the creation of the single � family zoning district through to present times without interruption. b. The proposed use will have no detrunental effects on the surrounding residential neighborhood. 11. The Council fmds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other properry 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 properties, would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve 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. 12. The City Council fmds that granting an amendment to a conditional use perm.it to � allow the use of the facility as a Lake Minnetonka Environmental School will not • Page 2 of 7 � o� . � o 0 �b. - CITY o� ORONO � ti � '� RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL . �L`9.kE p4��G . NO. —�—�Q � . . : � SH be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the public, would not adversely affect light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring properties, nor will it depreciate surrounding properry values and that the proposed level of use of the property will be in keeping with the intent and objectives of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above fmdings, the Orono City Council concludes that applicant's proposed use of the property as a private, non-profit middle school for grades 4-8 is a legal non-conforming use of the properry and hereby grants an amendment to the conditional use permit per Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivision 5. . 1. Applicant shall retain a licensed architect to address code requirements for change • of occupancy. � 2. This non-conforming use may not be changed to another non-conforming use. 3.

If structure is damaged by fire, flood, explosion, earthquake, war, riot or an act of God, the structure may be reconstructed and used as before if it is reconstructed within twelve (12) months after such calamity, unless the damage to this building or structure is 75% (or more) of its fair market�value as shown on the Assessment . Records at the time of damage, in which case the structure shall be demolished, and any construction thereafter shall be for use in accordance with the provisions of the Single Family Residential Zoning District. . 5.
