CiTy of ORONO Post Office Box 66 • Crystal Bay. Minnesota 5M23 • Municipal Offices On the North Shore 8 of Lake 8 9 Minnetonka August Bo Hibbs 1905 Fagerness Point Road, Wayzata, MN 55391 Re: Proposed Enclosure of Overhang Dear Mr. Hibbs: On Friday, August 4, 1989, Zoning Administrator Jeanne Mabusth and I viewed your property to consider your proposal to enclose the existing overhang area adjacent to your driveway, near Webb Street. In reviewing the site plan of your property, it is apparent that your existing hardcover is approximately 40%, where only 25% is allowed. City policy is that, although the overhang certainly constitutes hardcover, the enclosure of she overhang is a change in the nature of that hardcover which requires variance approval. There is also some question as to whether Webb Street or Fagerness Point Road (or both) should be considered as your front yard given the location of your driveway. This would to some degree affect how much of a setback is required. I note from a 1980 variance request that the proposed detached garage (which shows up on the survey but which was never built) was supposed to meet a 30' setback from both streets. I have enclosed a copy of the variance application form for your use. Your completed application should be returned to this office with all submittals no later than noon on Fr. lay, August 25th in order to be schedult-- for a September 18th Planning Commission meeting, with the earliest feasible final Council action on October 9th. Please contact me if you have further questions. Sincerely, ` Michael P. Gafk on, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator MPG/tln Enclosure - Variance Application BUILDING h ZONING - 473-7357 • ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE - 473.7358 • PUBLIC WORKS - 473-7359 ASSESSING
