7/1 \� WESTWOOD PLANNING & ENGINEERING COMPANY June 27, I986 Ms. Jeanne Mabusth f City of Orono P.O. Box 66 Crystal Bay, Mn 55323 Re: Raymond J. Kosak Residence 3265 Carman Road; Excelsior, MV 55331 Dear Ms. Mabusth: On behalf of Mr. Raymond Kosak, we are submitting the following request for consideration by the Orono Planning Commission and Council. A conditional use permit to replace an existing retaining wall that is approximately 55 feet long and 3 feet high. The wall is in a deteriorated condition and requires replacement to adequately retain the existing slopes of the site. It is proposed the existing IO inch deep wall be replaced with 6 inch deep treated Limbers and be , same length and height. This will reduce the hardcover surface of this wall in the 0- lakeshore setback zone by 40%. 2. A variance for hardcover within the 0-75- and 75-250' lakeshore setbsck zones due to construction of a deck. The deck in question had been, until recently, under construction without the necessary permits from the City. The owner was not aware of the need for a building permit or hardcover variance request. The deck is presently about 75% complete with another 92 rough framed (see main and upper deck as shown on the attached certificate of survey). Existing impervious hardcover, prior to construction of the deck, was 2.61% in the 0-75' zone and 37.38% in she 75-250' zone. Both represent a variance to allowed hardcover. The calculations included roof, driveway, walks, steps, retaining walls, etc. A porch has since been removed and an area of concrete patio blocks is planned to be removed. The deck is a multi -level structure, Interconnected with stairs and tied to the various levels of the house. Since there is 17-20 feet of drop to the lake from the house, the design intent of the deck was to create flat activity areas adjacent to the house and pool without altering the existing steep slopes and ground form. If considered hardcover, this deck would represent an increase of Impervious surface. 7 ,u5 Y1VL 5f IOUIIW„O. 41N Mf 5VOL15 eIN Nl504 aNID JIN W0�5f
