ATTACHMENT II <br />Variance I <br />Our remodeling project is pnmanly a reorganization cf irtertor 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 />street, we feel we can effectively maintain a dry basen>ent. Because of this relocation of <br />the dif)ing 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 win only slightly <br />increase our hardcover count <br />Due to the and narrow shape of our bt, 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 removirtg 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 Orono building variances than <br />other neighboring properties <br />Variance 11 <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 pilch to the sides, rain water <br />will be diverted to the ground to allow for absorption before running into the lake. The <br />room volume will increase slightly, i.)ut the hardcover square footage will not increase. <br />By changing the roof s 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 />experienoe any sight line obstruction due to the roof ^ange. <br />' i
