» <br />ATTACHMENT !l *>■ J <br />Variance I <br />Our remcxlellng project is primarily a reorganization of interior spaces. The dining <br />room addition, which fills In a low area adjacent to basement windows, will alleviate the <br />constant water damage problems to our basement. By diverting the rain water to the <br />siref'*. we feel we can effectively maintain a dry basement. Because of this relocation of <br />the dining room, the entry must be moved to a new location. Minnesota weather dictates <br />that a covered entry be built, thus additional hardcover is requested for this area. The <br />garage addition will cover, for the most part, existing hardcover and will only slightly <br />Increase our hardcover count. <br />Due to the long and narrow shape of our lot. a long driveway to reach the garage <br />requires a great deal of our hardcover square footage. We have attempted to comply <br />with Orono hardcover ordinances by removing a dog kennel and side door cement slab. <br />The front sidewalk was removed, a lakeside deck and the driveway were reduced in <br />size. We feel our property to be more In compliance with Crono building variances than <br />other neighboring properties. <br />Variance II <br />We are requesting this variance to allow for the change of our roof line. The living <br />room roof sheds water directly to the lake. By changing the pitch to the sides, rain water <br />will be diverted to the ground to ^llow for absorption before running Into the lake. The <br />room volume will Increase slightly, but the hardcover square footage will not increase. <br />By changing the roofs pitch, we will also be able to increase the room’s Insulation value. <br />The Pyle’s residence, on the north, will not be affected by this change, as their sight <br />line is obstructed by mature trees. The Buysse residence, on the south, will not <br />experience any sight line obstruction due to the roof change. <br />1
