Bernhardson, City Administra^ <br />November 13, 1990 <br />Survey Requirements - 1029 Loma Linda Avenue - <br />Appeal of Administrator's Decision <br />Attachments - <br />A) Information Packet Mr. & Mrs. Knox Submitted 11/13/90 <br />B) Council Minutes Excerpt 10/27/86 <br />C) Excerpt City of Orono Building Application <br />Issue - <br />Determination if Council desires to waive a survey <br />requirement on an addition to a primary structure. <br />Introduction - <br />On Friday afternoon, Mrs. Knox came to my office to discuss <br />the possibility of waiving the requirement for a survey for her <br />addition to the house. <br />Discussion - <br />In 1986 based on a request on South Brown Road, Council <br />amended the requirement for survey for all building permits when <br />one is not on file. Based on that appeal, the City amended its <br />policy to exempt accessory facilities under 1,000 s.f. where it <br />exceeds the required area and staff is satisfied that it is <br />reasonably out of the setbacks. This policy however did not <br />include additions to primary buildings. <br />In the present instance, the sket i provided appears to <br />indicate the primary structure is outside the 35' street setback <br />and the addition is on the back which has about 125' to the rear <br />property line. The lot itself is a 2 acre lot in a 1 acre zone. <br />Staff however does not presently have the authority to grant an <br />exception. <br />In this instance, staff has not requested a full lot survey <br />but only a verification survey of the setbacks to the additions <br />which would cost about $150.00 to $200.00. <br />Alternatives - <br />1. Allow the variation. <br />2. Table to November 26, 1990. <br />3. Indicate the requirement does apply.
