, '#i �� � ( , � � <br /> � �� � � <br /> �s <br /> Jim Zimmerman �, <br /> �745 Shadywood Road 3 � <br /> Orono MN 55331 P � r <br /> �952)470-8830, x139 (office) ��''� S�1r�` <br /> �952) 471-013o (home) <br /> April i6, 2008 <br /> Ms. Evely-n Turner <br /> City Planner <br /> City of Orono <br /> 275o Kelley Parkway <br /> Crystal Bay MN 55323 <br /> Dear Evelyn: <br /> I wanted to get back to you regarding the issue of elevation for my property. You had indicated <br /> that the current survey shows the lower level of my property 3 inches lower than the required <br /> level. <br /> I went Uack to the surveyor to ask�vhere they toolc the elevations from since I know they did not <br /> have access to my home. They confirmed that the reading was taken from outside. The highest <br /> elevation they could have used adjacent to the lower level is the patio, which is elevated about 3 <br /> inches from the surrounding grass. You'll note from the attached photo that the lower level is <br /> already well over 3 inches higher than the patio, so my lower level is already above the 932•5 <br /> value. The crawl space is at the same elevation as the lower level. <br /> I also understand that this criteria is being triggered because the City has concluded that the <br /> value of my structural changes will increase by over 50%. I'd be curious to know how you <br /> arrived at that determination, as that is not my assumption at all. <br /> The City currently has my home valued at $1.5 million. Since my lot is unbuildable and could <br /> not be used for a tear down, the lot itself could not be valued as highly as it would be if a tear <br /> down��ere possible. I, therefore, think probably a million dollars of the value should be <br /> dedicated to the structure. We don't have a final estimate yet but I'm projecting a budget of well <br /> under $750,000. While we're making significant changes, much of it has to do with adding a 3 <br /> car garage, 2 porches, and 2 decks, which are not expensive adds. Also, much of the house is not <br /> being changed at all. <br /> Per the issue at hand, I think the lower level meets the objective as indicated from the attached <br /> photo and I'm also certainly projecting adding less than 50%to the value of the structure. <br /> Please let me know your thoughts at your earliest convenience. Thanks much for your help. <br /> Glad to discuss, if you like. My numbers are listed above. <br /> Best regards, <br /> � - � <br /> Jim Zi erman <br /> E osure <br />
