CITYof ORONO Post Office Box 66* Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 • Municipal Offices On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka September 21, 1987 Richard G. Helstrom 2895 Casco Point Road Wayzata, MN 55391 Re: Proposed Deck Construction Dear Mr. Helstrom: We are in receipt# as of September 17# 1987# of a revised deck proposal submitted by your contractor# Mike Schmieg. This proposed deck extends past the average lakeshore setback line by a distance of approximately 12 feet and therefore requires a variance. In addition# portions of this deck adjacent to the house will be over areas not currently hardcovered# hence a variance would be needed for increases in hardcover over the existing percentage. I w^*uld also note that# although you might propose to remove .. ’ms of existing hardcover so there is no net increase# staff has not been granted the authority to approve such tradeoffs; this requires City Council approval. I would further note that the Planning Commission may have given you the impression that you could replace your previously existing 8'x22' deck without a variance. In fact# replacement of any portion of that deck that encroaches past the average setback line would also require a variance. I will be pleased to present your current plan to thr^ Planning Commission at their October 19# 1987 meeting if you wish. Any addition information you may wish to submit in support of your request must be in this office by October 5# 1987. Please contact me at 473-7357 if you have further questions.
