CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT — 2625 Kelly Avenue, Orono Outline of Required Submittals: 7. Project Narrative The intention of this project is to remove an existing single family home that is obsolete from the perspective of function, spatial flow, aesthetics, maintenance, and building/energy technology. The proposed home reconstructs and addresses all of these previously limiting factors. The site is very large by most standards. The site rises in the street side yard 30 feet above the road to the existing building pad area. The lake front yard then falls 30 feet from the existing home elevation to the lakeshore at ordinary high water 929.4. The existing home has a tuck under garage/basement, with living space all at the floor above. The proposed home's garage and primary living space are all at the same level with the master bedroom at a 2nd floor and lake entry, rec room, and secondary bedrooms at a new walk -out level. The exterior will be "earthy contemporary," utilizing low maintenance natural materials. The total finished square feet will be 6,300 square feet plus the garage. The reason for cut/fill/removal quantities is to create the walk -out level, which also has a deep/tall ceiling sport court which adds to this quantity. The only awareness of the quantities involved will be the presence of the walk -out level, which has been "exchanged" with the previous home's upper living level; thus, substantially lowering the overall structure's mass and height from the mass and height of the existing home. With a street yard dimension of 340' +/- and a lake yard of 340'— 380', there is more than ample space and ability to provide easy & highly effective construction phase and long-term water management practices that will far exceed most single family building sites in the City of Orono and on Lake Minnetona. The construction of the home will have typical construction hours of 7am to 5 pm. The on-site and street parking will average 10 cars daily.
