Variance Request <br />City of Orono <br />Addendum <br />June 18,2001 <br />Hardship issues for <br />Eric and Christine Menge <br />340 Tumham Road <br />Orono. \IN <br />952-404-9171 <br />Zone: RR-IA <br />Current House summar>-: Located on slightly over 1 acre this non-conforming single <br />family home faces the following objectives: <br />iSorth Boundary Setback <br />Objective: <br />To economically add adequate living area to the home. <br />Process; Convert 'he current single car garage into living space and add a 2 1/2 car <br />garage. The propeny to the north is set back from their property line by appro.ximately <br />36 fee:. The design calls for the new garage to be rotated by 30® from the house. The <br />proposed construction would set a point of the Menge’s garage back from their property <br />line by slightly over 12’ - creating o^er 4S' between the two homes. This maximizes the <br />overall separation between the two properties <br />Variance Request: Allow construction to begin at 12.27'from existing lot line. <br />While locating the garage to the south of the existing structure w ould ease the setback <br />concerns, the issue is the inability to adjust the design relative to kitchen location and <br />entry from the garage (mud room). Further it would put portions of the existing updated <br />septic system under the hardcover of the dnveway and garage. <br />HVj/ Boundary Setback (From Right of way) <br />Either .idjusting the garage to a straight in 2 car garage or positioning the garage so the <br />vehicle entry is from the nonh. would necessitate more hardcover or in the latter instance, <br />an unworkably small turning radius for the vehicles. The sightline of the garage is <br />partia'Iy hidden by an existing (and to be retained) old oak tree. This approach not only <br />retains a magnificent mature oak, but blunts the visual effect of the rotated garage. <br />Note color renderings attached. The western most tip of the garage will extend 12’ closer <br />to the right of way as compared to the existing structure. <br />Variance Request: U'e are requesting a variance in this area to allow a 32.6' setback <br />from the right-of-way. <br />J ......
