Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 0066 <br />Dick Putnam <br />2765 Casco Point Road <br />Wayzata, MN 55391 <br />RE; Deck Reconstruction <br />Dear Mr. Putnam: <br />This letter is intended as a review of the 1 987 variance approval for additions to your residence, as <br />well as to provide you a formal statement regarding Orono's hardcover and structure replacement <br />policies. <br />I received your fax including copies of Resolution No. 2254 (which is the correct resolution) and its <br />exhibits. 1 also reviewed our variance and permit files, which lead me to a number of conclusions <br />regarding what was approved: <br />1 he Council approved the proposed screen porch/patio/dcck configuration and its <br />associated hardcover as shown in Exhibit B of the resolution is unclear from the <br />file whether Council had seen the "octagonal" version ol deck plans, which <br />version wus submitted for the building pemiit but which was n. built. Also, it might <br />be co' clu led from either version that eo' ::\pansion of the existing deck was <br />proposed. The resolution wording could vunstrued as assuming the deck might <br />be rebuilt. (Ultimntely, we view this as ...consequential, because the variance and <br />permit expired long before the existing deck was finally replaced). <br />The porch/deck plans submitted for the building pemiit showed an octagonal <br />configuration, apparently proposing to slightly revise the footprint of the existing <br />deck and add a stairway at tlie south end. Those plans were approved by Tom Jacobs <br />on 8/23/88, and permit #1140 for "deck extension/screen porch addition" was issued <br />on 8/31/88. I don't know why we approved a deck plan dilTerent from what was <br />approved in the resolution e.xhibit. <br />Telephone (612) 47M357 • FAX 473-0510
