2090 Shoreline Drive Orono, MN 55391 Summary of Revised Submittal to Variance Resolution 7030 April 8, 2020 Permit Application: #RPS20-000027 Property Address: 2090 Shoreline Drive, Orono, MN 55391 Re: Revised submittal regarding changes to approved variance drawings Summary of Reductions and Adjustments to the Drawings: The property owner seeks revisions to the approved variance resolution so that reductions and modifications made to the summer residence match the building permit drawings submitted to City of Orono for review and dated 2/7/2020. A variance (#7030) from the Average Lakeshore Setback was granted unanimously by the City Council on October 14, 2019 to allow construction of home additions and modifications lakeward of the average lakeshore setback. Schematic drawings of the proposed changes and additions to the existing summer residence were submitted to the City of Orono with the variance application on Aug. 21, 2019. Subsequently, during the design development phase of the project, the property owner determined that a reduced upper level addition was preferred. In addition, the homeowner sought to preserve an original bay and fireplace niche, located on the main level of the house, at the northwest end. The homeowner also wanted to modify the size of a proposed bay window on the south side of the house at the kitchen. The proposed changes to the approved variance drawings are de picted and described in a series of diagrams dated 3/23/2020 at the request of the senior plan reviewer. (See attached.) The dashed red lines on the plans and elevations show the reductions and adjustments to the drawings as follows: • Adjustment #1: Eliminate the proposed main level addition at the northwest (lake) side of the house and rebuild the existing chimney and fireplace, located at an existing bay. • Adjustment #2: Increase the extension of a proposed new bay window at the kitchen from 1’-6” to 3’-1” to allow the kitchen table to be located out of the circulation path. The foundation and footprint of the house remains the same. • Adjustment #3: Eliminate approximately 378 square feet (18 ft x 21 ft) of a proposed upper level addition, and the attached deck, located above the existing main level of the house at the north end. Relocate an approved bay dormer from the eliminated space to a new location over the original main level at the west side of the house. The size of the revised upper level and roof is substantially smaller than the approved variance drawings and fits within the footprint of the original house.
