Box 66 Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 Attn: Mr. Michael P. Gaffron Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator RE: 2610 WEEST LAFAYETTE ROAD, ORONO, PID NUMBER 21-117-23 24 0041 Dear Mr. Gaffron: As you know from previous discussions, we wish to tem�e the existing house, garage and all hardcover from the above men- tioned site and replace it with a new home, garage and hard- cover. The existing structure and hardcover are not in compliance with tho existing Orono City Zoning Codes relating to hardcover and lakeshore setback encroachmen�:. We believe that she proposed new home and site improvement, while still not in compliance with all existing codes, will be a significant improvemen '-o the property and will address the hardship issues. Enclosed are our completed applications for variances for hardcover and grading in the 0-75' setback zone. In addition to the other submittals required with the applica- tions, we have enclosed six (6) copies of information pre- pared by Arteka Landscape Architects, showing the existing property and structures with topographical contours, with a transparent overlay showing the proposed home and garage with revised land contours. The information also includes hardcover calculations made by Arteka showing the existing hardcover in the setback zones compared to the proposed hardcover in the same zones. We have also had a model of the proposed improved site made for your convenience in viewing and conEidering this mat=er. We have also had large scale overlays and drawlags made which we would like to show you and your associates as par' - of our explanation of the proposed improvements.
