� �'�€- <br /> � J�HNSaN & ASS��IATES, AR�HITECTS <br /> 799 Third Avenue N.V�.New Brighton,Minitesota 55112 <br /> (G 12} 636-302? <br /> Apri112, 1993 <br /> T0: THE CITY OF ORONO <br /> Planning Gommisssion <br /> RE: Mr. & Mrs. Thomas K�leen's request to�ary from the development standards for the <br /> Sugar Woods addition,Planned Residential Development. <br /> As a representati�e of the Kileen's Im requestin�a variance for the driveway. <br /> Attached is the proposed site/grading plan which illustrates the following reasons for this request: <br /> 1. The curving of the drive as shown will preserve more of the mature trees that will <br /> need to be removed if the drive were to conform with the required 30'-0" side <br /> yard setback. <br /> 2. The existing grade of the site at the dri�e location is nearly 17% which is too <br /> steep for a dri�eway. By lengthening the drive we were able to decrease the grade <br /> to 13 °lo at the steepest point and provide a relatively flat parking area at the garage <br /> and waiting area at the street. <br /> 3. The residence has been located on the site to minimize the impact on both the <br /> existing neighbor to the east(the Simonds ) and the future neighbor to the west. <br /> Also attached is a letter from the Simonds,the property owner to the immediate east,wham this <br /> �ariance will be impacting. This letter states that they have re�iewed the proposed site plan and <br /> approve of this request. <br /> The Kileens and myself will be attending the planning commission meeting on Monday <br /> April 19, 1993. If you hade any questions or comments prior to that meeting please call me at <br /> 636-3027. Thank you far your consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> � <br /> Timothy J� so <br /> , , <br />
