Christine Mattson <br /> From: Christine Mattson <br /> Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 10:15 AM <br /> To: 'Jim Bebo'; 'Mark'; 'LDKBuilders@yahoo.com' <br /> Cc: Lyle Oman; Willie Gibbs; Melanie Curtis <br /> Subject: 1065 Tonkawa Road /#2012-01191 <br /> Jim, <br /> We received an updated survey dated 3-19-13. The survey showed changes in the proposed location and <br /> elevation of the home. While revisiting the approved house plans to approve the recent revisions, we realized <br /> a proposed 10' x 8' overhead door is shown which accesses the lower level of the home. This door is <br /> considered a garage door and according to the City's hardcover regulations must have a driveway or proof of <br /> driveway included in the hardcover calculations. If you wish to revise the plan to reflect an overhead door 6' in <br /> width or less the hardcover for a driveway will not need to be provided. <br /> The hardcover calculations do not currently reflect a driveway access to the lower 10' x 8' door. The hardcover <br /> calculations must be modified to including driveway access to the door or the building plans changed must be <br /> changed to reduce the size of the opening. <br /> Please advise. <br /> Sec. 78-1681. - Driveways, in general. <br /> All driveways shall comply with the following minimum dimensional standards: <br /> (1) Driveways serving end loading garages shall maintain a width equivalent to the width of all overhead <br /> doors extending 15 feet out from the garage doors. <br /> (2) Driveways serving side loading garages shall provide a minimum turn around or back up depth of 20 <br /> feet, as measured from the garage door(s). <br /> (3) Minimum driveway taper ratio shall be 2:1. <br /> (4) Driveways shall be at least eight feet in width at the street or private road. <br /> (5) A turnaround shall be provided for a driveway with direct access to an arterial or collector roadway, or <br /> for a side load garage as determined necessary by the city planner. The minimum dimensions of the <br /> turnaround shall be eight feet in width by 12 feet in depth. <br /> (6) "Wheel strip" driveways are allowed, but the entire width of the driveway (from outside to outside of <br /> the strips) will be considered hardcover. <br /> Christine Mattson <br /> Planning Assistant <br /> City of Orono <br /> 2750 Kelly Parkway Orono MN 55356 (physical address) <br /> PO Box 66 Crystal Bay MN 55323-0066 (mailing address) <br /> 9 952.249.4620 8 952.249.4616 <br /> ® cmattson@ci.orono.mn.us -1� www.ci.orono.mn.us <br /> Office Hours: Monday- Friday 8 am to 4:30 pm <br /> 1 <br />
