A RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCES
TO MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE �
SECTION 10.56, SUBDIVISION 16 (C),
SECTION 10.56, SUBDIVISION 16 (n,
SECTION 10.56, SUBDIVISION 16 (�, AND
SECTION 10.23, SUBDIVISION 6 (B)
FILE NO. 1909
WI�REAS, David and Margaret Vergeyle (hereinafter "the applicants") are
owners of the property located at 1485 Green Trees Road within the City of Orono (hereinafter
"City") and legally described as follows:
Lot 1, Block 1, Green Trees on Tanager Lake, Hennepin County, Minnesota
(hereinafter "the properry"); and
', WHEREAS, the applicants have applied to the City for variances to Municipal
Zoning Code Section 10.56, Subdivision 16 (C) (2 & 3) to allow placement of a residence
structure at a setback of less than the required 30' from the defined "top of bluff", and to allow
placement of said structure within the bluff impact zone where structures and accessory facilities
are not allowed; and for a variance to Section 10.56, Subdivision 16 (I) to allow intensive
vegetation clearing on steep slopes to accommodate the proposed residence; and for a variance
to Section 10.56, Subdivision 16 (� (5) (h) to allow fill placement in a bluff impact zone; and
for a variance to Section 10.23, Subdivision 6 (B) to allow a front yard setback of 39.4' where
a 50' front yard setback is normally required.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono,
Minnesota:
FINDINGS
l. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1909.
2. The property is located in the LR-lA Single Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning

3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on March 21, 1994
and recommended on a vote of 4 ayes, 2 nays and 1 abstention, conditional
approval of the proposed variances per the following findings and recommended
conditions:
A. This lot was platted in September of 1980 and was approved by the City
at 1.69 acres in area. �
B. The properry is not sewered, therefore an on-site sewage treatment system
is required.
C. The dry buildable portion of the lot that is not within the 100' lakeshore
setback nor within the bluff impact zone, is surrounded by private
roadway on three sides and a 50' street setback is required in the LR-lA
• zone.
D. Once the lakeshore setback, setback from top of bluff, front and side yard
setbacks and setback from septic system are accounted for, the remaining
buildable area of the property is approximately 15' x 65', not large
enough for construction of a residence on the properry. Therefore,
. without approval of variances, the lot would be unbuildable.
E. The proposed location of the residence requires variances to both the 30'
bluff setback and the prohibition on structures within the bluff impact
zone. The proposed dwelling location in addition to proposed filling and
retaining walls approximately 30' lakeward of the foundation would result
in the removal of a substantial number of mature trees and other
vegetation within the bluff and on steep slopes, require a variance to the
prohibition on intensive vegetation clearing on steep slopes.
F. No hardship or need has been justified for granting of the variances
necessitated by the fill and retaining walls.

' G. The filling and grading necessary to merely accommodate construction of
a residence on the property is reasonable as long as the impacts of such
grading are minunized to the greatest degree possible, both by house
placement as well as by using appropriate erosion control methods.
H. The removal of just those trees necessary to accommodate construction of
a residence is fair and reasonable.
I. Planning Commission recommends that the Council look favorably on any
revised proposal which might result in up to a 10' encroachment into the
� street setback zone but which therefore reduces the impacts on the steep
slope and bluff impact zone by moving the proposed residence nearer the
street. � �
• J. Planning Commission recommends that the fill and retaining walls on the
lakeside of the proposed residence be omitted, that the proposed deck be
allowed, and that any patio area on the lakeside of the residence be �
constructed as a deck to eluninate the need for filling.
K. Planning Commission recommends that the applicants preserve existing
vegetation to the greatest extent possible to preserve the existing degree
of screening from Tanager Lake.
I,. Planning Commission recommends that the tile drain system incorporate
an underground percolation system to minimize erosion potential.
M. The Minnesota DNR has submitted a letter of non-objection to the
� variance subject to the following conditions: �
1) The design of the structure and bluff alterations must be reviewed
and approved by a registered structural or soils engineer. This
review must consider the stability of the structure and appropriate
design to minunize erosion in the altered area during and after
construction. .

2) Vegetation and appropriate coloring shall be used to blend in the
alterations with the natural character of the bluff area.
4, Pursuant to the Planning Commission recommendation, the applicants have
revised their proposal to eliminate grading or filling on the lakeside of the
proposed residence, and have relocated/reconf'igured the proposed structure in a
manner such that the following variances are required:
A. 10'.6' setback encroachment into the 50' street yard requirement.
�
B. 30' encroachment of the 30' top of bluff setback. •
C. 44' structural encroachment lakeward of the defined top of bluff.
D. A portion of the bluff impact zone will be filled to accommodate said
• residence.
E. Intensive vegetation clearing on steep slopes will occur to accommodate
construction of the house.
5, 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.
6. The City Council finds 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 variances would not adversely affect tra�c conditions, light, air nor
pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring properry; 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 properry
right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the
Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.

drainfield sites from a�construction traffic, by fencing said drainfield areas with
a sturdy fence and placing warning signs. Applicants are advised that the

traffic which may render said drainf'ield areas unusable and would make the lot
unbuildable.
4. No filling is allowed on the lakeside of the residence. The proposed decks as

� fill.
5. The surface water drainage systems on the property shall incorporate underground
