BOX 66 CRYSTAL BAY, MN i:-S3-'LI RE: BUILDING PERMIT VARIANCE APPLICATION ae-'.i’xria i. u f.‘ • •V' k ^ ) TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: ENCLOSED THERE IS A BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION, TWO COPIES OF MY CONSTRUCTION PLANS A VARIANCE APPLICATION AND A SIGNED NON-OBJECTION LETTER FROM MY NEARES NEIGHBORS REGARDING THE PROPOSED WOODEN DECK ON THE FRONT OF MY PROPERTY. THE MAJOR REASON I LIVE WHERE I DO IS THE ENJOYMENT WHICH THE VIEW OF LAKE MINNETONKA PROVIDES ME. THE IDEA THAT I HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH ALL OF THEoE BUREAUCRATIC H.UQPS SIMPLY TO PUT AN UNOBTRUSIVE DECK ON THE FRONT OF MY PREMISES IS REPUGNANT TO ME. PER THE INFORMATIONAL PAGE ON YOUR VARIANCE APPLICATION, THE HARDSHIP WHICH I MUST ENDURE IS ONE OF LACK OF SIMPLE COMMON SENSE. I HAVE ENCLOSED SEVERAL PHOTOGRAPHS OF OTHER DECKS BUILT ON STRUCTURES ON MY IMMEADIATE BLOCK WHICH DO NOT MEET YOUR ZONING REQUIREMENTS AS TO SETBACK DISTANCES. I AM NOT INCLUDING THESE PHOTOGRAPHS SIMPLY TO SHOW YOU THAT OTHER EXCEPTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE OR HAVE BEEN GRANDFATHERED INTO PLACE; RATHER, MY INTENT IS SHOW YOU THAT DECK ON THE FRONT OF ONE’S PROPERTY IS MORE OF A MATTER OF STANDARD AND ACCEPTED PRACTICE IN OUR LOCALITY. I WOULD COMPARE IT TO THE^ OWNERSHIP AND MAINTENCE OF DOCK. IT EFFECTS THE "ORDERLY DEVELOPEMENT AND USc. OF THE eAND" and EFFECTS ABOUT AS MUCH "HARDCOVER" AS A DOCK. WITH THAT MINI-TIRADE OUT OF THE WAY, I WILL ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN MY CONSTRUCTION PLANS. AS YOU WILL READILY SEE WHEtJ YOU LOOK OVER THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS, I AM NOT AN ARCHIECT BY TRADE. IN AN EFFORT TO CLEAR UP ANY QUESTIONS WHICH YOU MAY HAVE I WILL INCLUDE A BRIEF NARATIVE REGARDING MY CONSTRUCTION PLANS. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF LUMBER WHICH WILL BE USED IN THIS PROJECT. WHEN THIS PROJECT IS COMPLETED, THE NONVISABLE, SUPPORT, FRAMING MATERIAL WILL BE CONSTRUCTION GRADE TREATED PONDEROSA PINE (HEREAFTER REFERED TO AS TREATED). THE VISABLE OUTSIDE CASING AND THE DECKING ITSELF WILL BE CONSTRUCTED OUT OF REDWOOD LUMBER (HEREAFTER REFERED TO AS REDWOOD). THE FOUNDATION Or THIS DECK BUILT NEAREST THE EXSISTING DWELLING IS BUILT ON aXlEXia CONCRETE BLOCKS. THERE ARE TWO 2X8X10 TREATED RUNNERS ^CUT TO LENGTH), BOLTED WITH METAL BOLTS AND ANCHORS, WHICH FORM THE REAR HEADER. THE FRONT HEADER IS ALSO CONSTRUCTED OUT OF TWO 2X8X10 TREATED RUNNERS, TIED TO A SERIES OF FIVE 4X4 REDWOOD SUPPORT POSTS. THERE ARE IS, 10 FOOT, TREATED, 2X3 oOISTS RUNNINGS BETWEEN THESE TWO HEADERS. EACH OF THESc. JOISTS ARE CONECTED TO THE HEADERS ON BOTH ENDS BY JOIST HANGERS. THESE JOISTS ARE SEPERAf£D BY 16 INCH CLNT'ERS. THE TWO OUTSIDE TREATED JOISTS ARE EACH FURTHER CONECTED ATTACHED TO TWO 4X4 AND ONE 2X4 REDWOOD SUPPORT POSTS. THP REMAINDER OF THE DECK IS VISABLE AND IS CONSTRUCTED WITH REDWOOD LUMBER. THERE IS ON 2X4 SUPPORT POST ON EITHER SIDE OF THE DECK LOCATED NEXT TO THE DWELLING. ON EACH OF THE 10 FQQT LENGTHS, THERE IS A 4X4 POST SITUATED HIVE FEET FROM EITHER END AND ANOTHER 4X4 POST ON THE PORTION OF THE DECK LQCATtD QN THE FRONT CORNER OF DECK, AWAY FROM THE DWELLING.
