CITY OF ORONO CITY of ORONO Post Offics Box G6*Crystal Bay, MinnesoU 55323• Municipal Officss On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka February 1, 1989 James Mardock 880 Dakota Avenue Long Lake# NN 55356 Re: After-the-Fact Deck Permit Application Dear Mr. Mardock: The Building & Zoning Department is in receipt of your application for an after-the-fact permit to allow replacement of the deck at the rear of your house. Your deck is considered as a second story deck, rather than a grade level deck, and therefore is required to meet the principal structure setbacks from all property lines. For the LR-IA, 2-acre minimum lot size zoning district in which your house is located, the front and rear setbacks are 50' and the side setbacks are 30*. In reviewing our files, we were able to locate surveys of neighboring properties and sketched in your lot in the approximate location. On that sketch, we have shown the required setbacks, which leaves only a small area in which you could legally construct additions or decks. We are not able to verify your house location on the property without a survey however, and must require that as a minimum, you provide a certificate of survey showing the actual location of the deck construction in relation to the lot lines. Although your surveyor may be able to show this merely by depicting the rear of the house, it is likely that he will have to do a full survey of the property. In the event that your survey verifies that the deck encroaches on one of the required setback areas, you will have to file a variance application with the City. I am attaching a copy of that application form for your use. Please contact me as soon as your survey is completed. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or Zoning Administrator Jeanne Mabusth at 473-7357. Sincerely Michael P. Gaffr;—, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator MPG/tln Enclosure - Sketch & Variance Application cc: Jeanne A.
