<br /> 3435 County Rd. 101 | Minnetonka, MN 55345 | (952) 475-2097 | boyerbuilding.com <br /> <br />In support of this request, we have included: <br />- GIS map view of the adjacent properties for context (below). <br />- Photos of the streetview and lake view for context (below). <br />- A current as-built survey (showing existing setbacks and hardcover). <br />- A modified survey indicating the proposed dwelling location on the lot (Including setbacks and hardcover). <br />- Proposed site plan, floor plans for the new home. <br />- Architectural elevations of the proposed home. <br />Key points in support of our variance requests: <br />- The proposed 31.56% hardcover is more compact and located further from the lake on the lot to better conform with <br />the side setback requirements that are currently noncomplying. This will improve the side yard run off. <br />- Due to the narrow and substandard dimensions of the lot, particularly the limited lot width and preexisting constraints, <br />achieving full compliance with all zoning requirements is not practically possible without rendering the lot unbuildable <br />or the home unreasonably small and also disadvantage this property more than its immediate neighbors. <br />- Our design approach prioritizes the preservation of lake views for neighboring properties and maintains neighborhood <br />character. <br />- These variances are necessary to reasonably use and improve property without causing negative impacts to public <br />health, safety, or welfare. <br />We believe the requested variances satisfy the “practical difficulties” standard and are consistent with the intent of the <br />Orono Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan. We appreciate your consideration of our request and welcome any <br />additional feedback for review or discussion. <br />Sincerely, <br />Kimberly Fletcher <br />Boyer Building on Behalf of our Client <br />Jack and Suzy Bohn <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Overhead map of adjacent properties from GIS: <br />20
