James & Sheila Langhans <br />1366 Rest Point Road <br />Mound, Mn. 55364 <br />February 27,2000 <br />City of Orono <br />2750 Kelley Parkway <br />Orono, Mn. 55356 <br />Dear Zoning Counsel, <br />We have proposed an improvement to our home that will reduce the hard <br />cover from 29.37% to 29.33% in the 75ft to 250ft zone. This represents a <br />total hard cover percentage of 25%. We believe that additional hard cover <br />removal would represent a hardship for the following reasons. Because of <br />the steep incline of our driveway it is necessary to turn a vehicle around in <br />order to safely exit onto Rest Point Road especially in winter. Additional <br />hard cover could be obtained by eliminating the concrete apron on the <br />north side of the house and the concrete wail and walk on the east side of <br />the house. I believe that these structures are necessary to insure proper <br />run off and protect my basement from serious water damage (which is <br />55years old) and protect my lot and my neighbor ’s lot (Brian & Sue <br />Schebier) from erosion that would be caused if the concrete wall on the <br />east side was removed. I respectfully request that a variance be allowed <br />as I believe that it is in the best interests of myself my neighbors and the <br />City of Orono. <br />Sincerely, <br />James s Sheila4»nghans <br />lL^ <br />c <br />lillltlllllltMllli
