a c McCOMBS-KNUTSON ASSOCIATES, INC. CONSULTING ENGINEERS i tANO SURVEYORS w SITE PLANNERS �111._ /IlN September 18, 19/5 Mr. lia11k Muhich City of Orono P. U. Box 66 Crystal Bay, Minnesota Subject: Ted Boer 1392 Baldur Park Road Dear dank: You asked that we take a loc. at Che subject project, and report to you regarding the necessary variance from the 75 foot lakeshore requirement. We have done as you requested and observed the following conditions of the site. The front of the house is approximately 68 ieet from the lake, protruding 10 feet closer to the lake is a porch, Boside the porch is a cement block patio. Mr. Boers proposal is to support the present house and construct a full walkout basement under the house. Ile will be expanding the present porch to square it up with the house, he will be eliminating the present patio. Fie will be adding approximately 69 square feet of additional hardcover within the 75 foot setback line. The porch will become part of the house and the front of his porch will be extended approximately 2 feet closer to the lake. At present the lot is very high above the lake, it drops off on almost a vertical bank from: the top to a flat shelf along the lake. The height of this bank is approximately 20 feet and the width of the shelf before it reaches the lake is approximately 10 feet, the present bank is continually washing and sliding into the lake. The lakeshore is also washing away by the wave action, endangering seine existing trees and shrubbery along the lake. The proposal for the construction of a walkout basement would result in removing the top of his lot, approximately 10 feet to construct a gradual slope down to the lake. lie would also remove a large Maple tree. This Maple tree has a large number of dead and rotten limns, and it appears to be a diseased tree. The owner reported that it har been infested with ants and should be removed whether anything is done on the lot or not. The present condition of the porch which he prolx ses to replace, is in an advanced stato of deterioration loarticularily on the roof and work is needed very urgently to maintain his house in an acceptable condition. 1160S OtSpN MI MU111AL ►IIGNKAY M114NfA/0US MINNtSOTA S5441 T1Lf1M0061 •11- SSf 3J00 76 NOI41H MAIN ST11t11 0IU1CM1NS0N M411441SUTA SS)SO TilI►aUNI 611 8711 W2i SOt1TNWEST fMGINt111111G OWSIUN MANS►IAIL M1141IN(SOTA 542SS TiIE00N006/ 533 !1?U
