CITY of ORONC <br /> CITY- . Post Office Box 66•Crystal Bay,Minnesota 55323•Municipal Officer. <br /> aF <br /> OFIQNQ On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka <br /> March 1 , 1991 <br /> Robin Wessels <br /> 1245 Woodhill Avenue <br /> Wayzata, MN 55391 <br /> Re: "Birdhouse" <br /> Dear Mrs. Wessels : <br /> On Wednesday, February 27th, the Zoning Department staff <br /> viewed *he birdhouse structure at the end of your driveway. A <br /> review of the zoning code has concluded that this structure would <br /> be treated similar to entry pillars or monuments that homeowners <br /> often construct on either side of the driveway. Such monuments <br /> or structures are limited to 31' in height, and must be within <br /> the boundaries of the lot, not in the public or private roadway. <br /> Your easterly lot line along Woodhill Avenue is considered <br /> as your front lot line. Any fences or rimilar structures within <br /> 50' of your front lot line are considered to be within your <br /> required front yard and are ] imited to a height of 31'. Based on <br /> this, your options would appear to be as follows: <br /> 1. Move the birdhouse to a point at least 50' back from <br /> your ...asterly lot line; or <br /> 2. Move the birdhouse back inside your property boundaries, <br /> and reduce its height to 31' above grade. In this case, <br /> there would be no required setback. It could be just up to, <br /> but not on the property line. <br /> A third option would be to apply for a height variance, <br /> although the cost of such an application would be $175.00, and <br /> even if it were to be granted, which is not a certainty, you <br /> would still be required to move the ctructure out of the road <br /> right-of-way. <br /> RI I LI)I' G A&ZONING-473.7357 • ADMINISTRATION&FINANCE-473-735M • PUBLIC wnRKS-473-7359 <br />
