A RESOLUTION
APPROVING VARIANCES FROM
MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE
SECTION 78-330
FILE NO. LA18-000039
WHEREAS, on April 16, 2018, Catherine Meyer (the "Applicant"), applied for
variances from the City Code for the property addressed 493 Park Avenue, owned by the Applicant
and legally described as:
Lots 7 and 8, Block 2, Minnetonka Summit Park, Hennepin County, Minnesota
(hereinafter the"Property");
WHEREAS, the Applicant has made application to the City of Orono for variances
to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-330 to allow development of a property with 0.25
acre in area where 1.0 acre is required, and having 100 feet in width where 140 feet is required;
and
WHEREAS, on May 21, 2018, after published and mailed notice in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes and the City Code, the Planning Commission held a public hearing, at which
time all persons desiring to be heard concerning this application were given the opportunity to
speak thereon; and
WHEREAS, on May 21, 2018, the Planning Commission recommended approval
of the variance; and
WHEREAS, on June 11, 2018, the City Council reviewed the application and the
recommendations of the Planning Commission and City staff;
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Orono, Minnesota
hereby approves the requested variances as described above based on one or more of the
following findings of fact concerning the Property:
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #LA18-000039. The analysis contained
within staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid memos, all minutes from the
above mentioned meetings, and any and all other materials distributed at these meetings
are hereby incorporated by reference.

t'�KESH�Q'�
2. The Property is located in the LR-1 B Zoning District.
3. The Property contains 0.25 acres in area and has a defined lot width of 100 feet.
4. The Property is within Tier 3 and hardcover is limited to 35% according to the Stormwater
Quality Overlay District.
5. Applicant has applied for the following variances:
a. Lot Width Variance
b. Lot Area Variance
6. In considering this application for variances, the Council has considered the advice and
recommendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed variances
upon the health, safety and welfare 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.
ANALYSIS:
1. "Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes
and intent of the ordinance . . . ." A single family residence is a permitted use within the
LR-1 B zoning district. This criterion is met.
2. "Variances shall only be permitted . . . when the variances are consistent with the
comprehensive plan." The residential principal structure and associated amenities are
residential uses which are consistent with the comprehensive plan guiding of this and
surrounding properties for residential use. This criterion is met.
3. "Variances may be granted when the applicant for the variance establishes that there are
practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. 'Practical difficulties,' as used in
connection with the granting of a variance, means that:
a. The property owner in question proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner,
however, the proposed use is not permitted by the officia/contro/s.
The Owner is proposing to use the Property in a reasonable manner but the size
of the lot is below the minimum lot size standards of the Zoning Code.This criterion
is met.
b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created
by the/andowner.
The plight of the Owner is due to the existing substandard lot size,which is a result
of the Property being platted long before local zoning codes were in effect. The
2

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUI�JCIL
y� G�� No. 6 8 7 6
t`�KES H�4�
Owner combined two PIDs in an attempt to make Property more conforming. This
criterion is met; and
c. The variance, if granted, will not a/ter the essential character of the locality."
The proposed home will be commensurate with the homes in the neighborhood
and will not alter the character of the neighborhood. This criterion is met.
4. "Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties." Economic
considerations have not been a factor in the variance approval determination. This
criterion is met.
5. "Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight
for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as
defined in Minn. Stat. §216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter
78."This condition is not applicable.
6. "The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under
Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is
located."This condition is not applicable, as the use for a single family home is an allowed
use in the LR-1 B District.
7. "The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling
as a two-family dwelling."This condition is not applicable.
8. "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such
property or immediately adjoining property."The lot area, lot width, setback, hardcover and
lot coverage standards applying to the Property are similar to those of other properties in
the neighborhood, and there are many similar sized developed lots in the neighborhood.
This criterion is met.
9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the
land is located." The standards applicable to the Property apply to all other property in
the neighborhood; however, in order to be allowed the 35% hardcover that other
developed similar-sized lots are afforded, a variance to lot area and width is required.
This criterion is met.
10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant." In the opinion of staff, the property rights of the
owner will be diminished if the lot area and lot width variances are not granted, as the new
residence would not be able to be developed, nor will it be permitted the 35% hardcover
level that neighboring similar-sized lots are allowed. This criterion is met.

11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or
morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter." Granting of the area
and width variances would not impair health, safety, comfort or morals and would not be
contrary the intent of the zoning code.
12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but
is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty."The size and width of the Property, as well
as the corner lot configuration create practical difficulties affecting the Property; the
variances are necessary and will not merely serve as a convenience to the Owner.
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 to allow development of the
substandard Property; subject to the following conditions:
1. Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings.
2. The approved project shall conform to the survey dated 03/25/18 by Gronberg and
Associates, and building plans submitted by the Applicant and annotated by City staff,
attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A 8� B.
3. Any amendments to the plans which are not in conformity with City codes may require
further Planning Commission and City Council review.
4. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the Applicant, but are
permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the new
construction and commencing construction of said project. A framing inspection must be
completed within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variances will expire on
that date (June 11, 2019).
5. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution may
result in the termination of any authority granted herein.
