I - <br />September 6, 1991 <br />Planning Commission <br />City of Orono <br />P.O. Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br />Re: John and Pat Walker Residence <br />1310 Spruce Place <br />Dear Planning Commission Members: <br />We enclose for your review, calculations of hardcover at 1310 <br />Spruce Place, describing the hardcover which existed in 1975, the <br />present conditions, and the proposed conditions. Also enclosed is <br />a site plan showing the locations of the hardcover and other <br />information. In addition to these documents, we have the following <br />comments: <br />1.The applicants are sensitive to the ordinance <br />requirements for minimum hardcover in the area nearest <br />the lake. Accordingly, the pre-1975 hardcover in the 0 <br />to 75 foot zone is being reduced from 992 square feet to <br />509 square feet, a reduction of approximately 50%. <br />2.The i^plicants are removing all landscaping cloth in <br />order to comply with the City’s interpretation of the <br />ordinance which apparently provides that all landscaping <br />cloth ■institutes hardcover. <br />3.The applicants propose to remove all patio areas which <br />were added since 1975. <br />4.The applicants request a 50% credit against the hardcover <br />created by the house and garage because the surface water <br />catchment system retains the bulk of this drainage for <br />absorption in underground perforated tubing. This credit <br />would bring the hardcover down to 25.1%. <br />• . . .
