To: Orono City Planner <br />From: Craig Wicklund <br />RE: Win Stephens Addition <br />3770 Bayside Road <br />MEMO <br />Date:11/15/95 <br />We do appreciate that Mr. Stephens wants to improve the property at 3770 <br />Bayside Road. However, we prefer the proposed option 1 because we feel <br />it would have less impact on our property. <br />Option 2 would greatly change the view from the front of our home. <br />Option 2 has proposed to build 3 1/2 to 4 feet from the line which is the <br />front of our home. The N.E. comer of this new addition would sit <br />approximately 25 feet from our driveway. Due to the elevation of the lot, <br />the back of the new home would be 2 1/2 stories high in the N .E. comer. <br />Which faces our front lot line. <br />We would much prefer that the end of the new home adjoin our front line <br />as proposed in option 1. This would not extend the 3 1/2 feet setback that <br />is already there. <br />Last spring we applied for a variance to be 26 feet from our front line. <br />We wanted our home to be on a higher elevation of the lot. We were <br />denied that variance and had to comply with the 50 foot setback. In doing <br />so, we adjusted the angle or position of our home to face more of our front <br />lot line than our original proposal. With the construction of option 2 the <br />front of our home would be looking at the back of the 2 1/2 story home. <br />In light of the alley that is to become part of this parcel, we feel the <br />construction should be done as per option 1. The alley allows reasonable <br />setback to the west line. <br />We welcome improvement on the property and feel that option 1 is the <br />reasonable plan.
