DATE: <br />PROJECT: <br />SUBJECT: <br />FROM: <br />COPIES TO <br />SeptemJser 16,2001 <br />King Home, 142 Chevy Chase Drive, Wayzata, Mn. 55391 <br />Descriptive for Variance <br />Sharratl MacDonald Design Co. <br />Mary and Joe King; he. ie Owners <br />OMCription of Varianco Raqueat <br />The Kings property is a total area of 29,250 sf. Their property is located in a <br />portion of the City designated as 1*acre min lot size (43,560 sf). The <br />homeowners desire to construct a new home on their existing property. Since <br />the property is less than one acre the Owners are requesting a Variance to <br />construct their new home on their property. <br />An outdoor swimming pool and pool deck currently exist on the property. The <br />Owner desires to leave the swimming pool and the pool deck in existence <br />during and after the construction of the new home. According to zoning <br />requirements all accessory structures are to be removed prior to <br />redevelopment of the property. The Owners request a Variance to leave the <br />swimming pool and pool deck in place. <br />Currently the property Lot Coverage consists of a home of 2710sf including <br />protected walks and front entry roof overhangs, a swimming pool of 880sf, a <br />pool deck and walkways of 2320sf and a wood deck of lOOsf. The total of all <br />existing lot coverage is 6010sf. <br />The Kings property is unique in that the City of Orono owns two (2) parcels of <br />land to the north [#42 and #43] and a parcel across and slightly to the <br />northeast of Chevy Chase Drive [#27]. It is the King's understanding that <br />these lots will not be built upon. It is also the applicant's understanding that <br />the intent of Lot Coverage is to control/limit the building massing when <br />analyzed in relationship with neighboring homes. Since no development will <br />take place on these parcels, it seems appropriate that the proposed design <br />be accessed in relationship with the current and future building massing <br />conditions. In that light it seems reasonable to allow for a design that has a <br />larger Lot Coverage than allowed by the Zoning Ordinance. <br />■(lutiva <br />SHARRATT S MACDONALD DESiGN COMPANY <br />m----------------§■--------—•----------------k----------------1- <br />26f School Avo St§ 310 ExcoNtor.
