I ferf CITYof ORONO Post Office Box 66•Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323• Municipal Cfficea On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka C July 11, 1988 American Builders & Associates, Inc. 3600 Shoreline Drive Wayzata, MN 55391 Re; Proposed Storage Garage, 3034 Casco Point Road The Building & Zoning Department is in receipt of your application for a building permit, which was received by this office on July 7, 1988. A review of the application finds that the following variances are required in order for this garage to be built; 1. Maximum floor area allowed « 1,000 s.f. The proposed garage includes usable floor space on two floors. Any second story space with headroom in excess of 5' is considered as floor area. Your second floor contains approximately 554 s.f. of usable space for a total of 1,536 s.f., exceeding the 1,000 s.f. maximum. 2. Orono zoning codes require a minimum of 10* setback between the structures. Your proposal shows only a 3* setback. 3. Per your engineer's calculations, existing hardcover in the 75- 250* zone is 35.5% where only 25% is allowed. Although you are proposing to remove ground cover in exchange for structural hardcover to reduce this to 33.5%, unless you can reduce to 25%, staff does not have the authority to approve such an exchange without City Council approval. I would further note that the proposed plans are incomplete, since they do not include details and sections for the walls, nor do they include a truss certification. Also, a second set of plans would be needed for review. Please contact the Building & Zoning Department at 473—7357 if you wish to pursue the necessary variances in order to construct this structure.
