CITY OF ORONO <br /> Street Address: Mailing Address: Telephone(952)249-4600 <br /> y A. 2750 Kelley Parkway P.O. Box 66 Fax (952)249-4616 <br /> • <br /> Orono,MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 www.ci.orono.mn.us <br /> 'C£S H 00' <br /> September 23, 2014 <br /> Michael& Nicole Van Patten <br /> 2875 Wear Circle <br /> Long Lake, MN 55356 <br /> RE: 2875 Wear Circle <br /> Permit#2014-01048 <br /> On September 17, 2014, we received an after-the-fact building permit application for a tree house partially <br /> constructed on your property located at 2875 Wear Circle. Upon review, we have identified several issues <br /> you should be aware of: <br /> 1. Through Lot. Your property is considered a "through lot" as it has street frontage on both the front <br /> and rear lot lines; the RR-1B zoning district requires a 50-foot principal structure setback from street <br /> lot lines. An accessory structure located on a "through lot" must conform to the 50-foot principal <br /> structure setbacks. <br /> 2. Right-of-Way. In a situation where a property boundary extends into the right-of-way, the rear <br /> street setback is measured from the edge of the right-of-way. The Watertown Road right of way is <br /> 66 feet wide; however it is not centered on the paved roadway. The north boundary of the right-of- <br /> way extends approximately 33-feet into your property. Therefore the required 50-foot setback is <br /> measured from this line. Based on your annotated survey, the tree house is estimated to be set back <br /> only 30 feet from the right-of-way. <br /> 3. Building Code. Building Official, Lyle Oman, reviewed the plans and submittals for the proposed tree <br /> house and has indicated there are too many unknowns regarding a structure supported by trees. <br /> There is an unacceptable risk of liability for the City and therefore he will require a structural <br /> engineer to design and certify the structure. <br /> For the above reasons we are unable to approve the requested permit. As the structure is currently under <br /> construction you have the following options: either discontinue construction and remove the structure; or <br /> apply for an after-the-fact setback variance to permit the structure to remain in its current location. Please <br /> note, the building code requirements (#3 above) will still apply. An after-the-fact variance application <br /> requires an application fee of$1,400 (double the $700 fee) and submittal of an updated survey showing the <br /> tree house under construction. <br /> Please contact me if you wish to discuss this further; I can be reached at 952-249-4627 or <br /> mcurtis@ci.orono.mn.us. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> CITY OF ORONO <br /> i di//./0 <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> Planner <br /> Enclosures <br />
