The fence height limitations outlined in the Zoning Code can be varied only by approval of the City Council. Our variance process is a two-part process. Once a variance application is received, Orono's planning commission holds a public hearing on their once-monthly meeting agenda. At the public hearing the planning commission receives testimony from applicants, City staff and the public on each request. The planning commission makes a recommendation on the request which is then brought to the Council for a formal action or decision. Your request to be placed on the next City Council meeting for action cannot be granted as it is not the proper procedural process. However I can work with you to put together a Variance Application to be heard by the planning commission at their November 18"' meeting. The official deadline for submitting an application for the planning commission's November meeting was yesterday. However, we received your email on Tuesday and can consider that a'�preliminary"variance application. I am available if you would like to go over this information in person but I have attached a link to the Variance AR li� cation form for your convenience. Please submit the application with signatures from all property owners wishing to participate in this variance request. Also required are the following: • $700 application fee; • $700 escrow; • A survey for each property meeting our attached survey standards and indicating the location of the proposed fence; • Plans and specs for the fence (already submitted); and • A certified list of property owners (within 150 feet of each of the properties requesting variance approval) from Hennepin County. The County contact information is listed in the packet. 1 Please note, if you wish to proceed with a formal application we have publication deadlines and I must receive your application and submittais by Monday, October 28"'. Please let me know if you have questions or if I can be of any further assistance.
