--- 1 <br /> P H <br /> Variance Narrative for <br /> 3220 Navarre Lane <br /> Orono, MN 55391 <br /> With the unique history of this property and current residential remodel <br /> t?king place this property presents challenges due to the existing historical <br /> structure, size of the lot, setbacks and existing hardcover. With the lot <br /> already being non-conforming and over hardcover limits this presents <br /> challenges in creating usable outdoor patio space on the property without <br /> needing to obtain further hardcover. The remodel permit was submitted <br /> with a rooftop patio space above the existing structure conforming to the <br /> current setback limits. As the project has progressed and obtaining a <br /> further understanding of hardcover limits the ability to develop usable <br /> patio space would require further hardcover going beyond the current <br /> existing hardcover of the property. <br /> The owner of the property would like to further utilize the rooftop of the <br /> existing.property for use as an outdoor patio and green space by using an <br /> additional area of the roof which would push into the current setbacks in <br /> the rear and side. With this approach, it creates no further hardcover <br /> impact and doesn't change the exterior structure of the building site lines <br /> causing zero impact on neighboring properties. <br /> A proposed wire railing would be installed in from the roofline, no <br /> additional massing would be added to the structure. LEED-certified rooftop <br /> pavers would be installed that create a floating system above the existing <br /> rubber roof membrane to maintain proper drainage of the roof. <br /> This overall proposed plan fits within the existing building structure, <br /> provides no further impact to neighboring properties, and allows the owner <br /> to have a usable patio and open outdoor area without creating additional <br /> hardcover. <br /> Pillar 11 urn es Partner, Inc. <br /> 1700 Niagara Lane <br /> mouth, MN 55447 <br /> 763-475-1700 <br /> ��WW.pillarhomes.com <br />
