MINNESOTA 55356 (612) (612) 476-5863 (FAX) 4 September 1998 To: Orono Planning Commission and Orono CouncilI iji |\j lai II III 1^ wwi IIII I ai IVI wi wi iw v/wvii iwii M \ » } J From: Terry Clark (Applicant), Neil Weber (Architect) Re: Variance Application of Terry Clark,1575 l.ong Lake Blvd. Following the discussion which tabled the application at the planning commission meeting of 17 August 1998, wc searched for a solution which would allow Terry to provide her family with additional space while reducing the impact on the 0-75 setback area. We are now proposing to raise the home approximately 4 feet, provide the home with a new walkout lower level. This would mean that the grade would be reduced on the south elevation of the home. A revised grading plan is attached to this memo. We would propose to add a small entrance addition on the street side to provide an entry to the home and a stair to the lower level. This addition would be 12’ x 16’ and is shown on the attached revised plan. About half of the addition is within the 75’ line and the other half Is in the 75-250 band. I have attached the revised hard cover calculations showing what has changed and what has been added. Because of the raising of the home we are eliminating much of the existing hard cover as shown on the survey. After the calculations are complete, we have reduced the hard cover area from the previous 2,704 SF.to 1,417 SF. This includes the deck added to make the upper level work for living purposes. The increase would be from the existing 6.16% to a final 6.94% In the 75-250 area we have reduced the hardcover from the previous 942 SF to 856 SF. The architecture of the home will be maintained and the small entrance addition will have the same character as the existing home. The small quaint quality of the home will be maintained.
