a is required by Code because of the right-of-way frontages on both ends of the lot, _ __ which by definition make it a"through lot". 4. Any development of this lot is subject to the current principal building setback and accessory building setback requirernents established in the Zoning Ordinance. Principal building setbacks consist of a 50' setback along the west, south and east� frontages of the lot. You a required to maintain a 30' setback along your interior side yard (north lot line). These setbacks apply in the same manner if you combine both lots. I've enclosed the accessory building setback requirements for your review. Most importantly, all accessory buildings must be located further from the street lot line than the principal structure. Should the setback standards not be attainable,variance approval would be required. 5. All properties located within 1,000 feet of a designated water body are located in the Shoreland Overlay District and subject to hardcover restrictions. This property is most likely within the 250'-500' and 500'-1,000' lake setback zones as measured from French Lake and Lake Minnetonka. A hardcover percentage of 30% is permitted in the 250'-500' zone and 35% in the 500'-1,000' zone. A survey will be required in order to construct a new residence on this existing lot. The survey should indicate the location of the hardcover zones and hardcover calculation worksheets must be completed. 6. All properties in Orono less than 1.99 acres in lot area are subject to a structural coverage limitation of 15% of the lot area. Enclosed is City Code Section 78- 1403 outlining what is considered structural coverage. Assuming the lots axe combined, the property is 0.634 acres in axea yielding a permitted lot coverage by structures amount of 4,143 s.f., pending conformance with the hardcover restrictions outlined in #5 of this letter. Should the lots not be combined the permitted amount of structure on each parcel would be approximately half of 4,143 s.f. If you decide against rebuilding and sell the lot, the existing garage must be removed and all other above information would apply to a new owner. I've enclosed all relevant Zoning Code Ordinances for your review. Should you have any questions regarding the information contained in this letter, I can be reached at 952-249-4623. Tha.nk you.
