I 1 ? June 7, 1978 TO; FM; City of Orono Planning Commission John Proegler, applicant SUBJ: Variance request for 2208 Shadywood Road, Lot 12, Block 1, Wiley’s Park Addition The primary reason for the requested variance is to allow the erection of a‘20’x2l4.' double car garage without destroying or damaging three (3) large maple trees and one (1) ornamental plum tree. The University of Minnesota Horticulture Department has suggested and recommended that little or no excavation be made within the drip line of any large tree. Sketch number 2 (attached) shows the placement of the garage without a variance. This would eliminate the plxim tree; probably kill the maple tree in the middle of the yard; and damage the maple tree closer to the house. Sketch number one (attached) shows the current situation. The *U’ drive and parking area and outbuilding (near the house) combine to exceed the hardcover area desired (See Lakeshore Hardcover Calculations, 3U«'?02, attached). Sketch number three (3) shows the proposed final placement of the garage. This placement allows the saving of all trees; decreases hardcover surfaces to within desired limits; provides adequate parking and turnaround area for safe entrance/exit from Shadywood Road. In addition to the above, all homes on either side of our lot have garages, or other buildings closer than the 16' from the road lot line I am requesting. Our garage, with the variance will have the moat setback from the road. To date, the neighbors on either side of us have verbally agreed to the proposed variance. In light of the above, I respectfully request that you consider this variance for approval. onn K, i^o^gier 2208 Shadyv^ood Road Wayzata, KK .^5391 U71 8651 ySally^J.
