May 24, 1990 <br />CITY OF ORONO <br />P.O. Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 <br />RE: LAND USE APPLICATION NO. 1529 <br />Dear City Planners: <br />As stated in my letter of May 10, 1990, the size of the proposed garage was reduced to <br />minimize hard cover. In application for variance, only the footprint of the proposed <br />garage was submitted. No plans or elevations were included. The existing house has a roof <br />pitch of about 5/12. I would request that the garage roof have a pitch of 8/12. This would <br />make the peak of the garage about three feet higher than the house peak. My reasons for <br />this are: <br />1. 8/12 roof trusses are standard stock trusses. At the place I called, I was informed <br />that 5/12 trusses are not. <br />2. I minimized the square foot area of the garage because of my hard cover condition. <br />This makes for less storage space in the garage. A 5/12 pitched roof does not allow <br />for much storage, and the low roof profile makes access to the attic difficult. <br />I request that you consider my proposal for a garage with an 8/12 pitched roof. I apologize <br />for any confusion or inconvenience caused by this request. <br />Sincerely, <br />--� 7 <br />fohn B. Thicsse <br />
