N. <br />Dai►id K. Fox <br />1645 Bohns Point Road <br />Wayzata, MN 55391 <br />March 14, 1990 <br />Orono 21anning Commission <br />City of Orono <br />PO Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br />Dear Commissioners, <br />We are presently building a new house at 1645 Bohns Point <br />Road. We have been advise-1 by the Orono Building and Zoning <br />Department to seek a variance involving this construction. This <br />variance concerns the height of the structure. <br />Our h,-jse was designed by Bruce Schmitt and Assoc. of <br />ayzata. Our building plans, including optional gables facing <br />ae front (lake), were submitted to and a building permi, was <br />issued by the the City of Orono. Construction started in <br />December. <br />Subsequeutly, we asked our architect, Mr. Bruce Schmitt, <br />to investigate as to whether the area above the second floor <br />could be opened up for storage space, without altering the roof <br />structure in any way. We were advised by Mr. Schmitt that the <br />roof trusses could be designed to allow for an attic area <br />without changing the height, shape or appearance of the house. <br />We directed the builder to proceed on that basis. <br />In as such as the design of the house complies with the <br />published code, and the height and shape of the house have nit <br />changed in any way from the plan as approved by the city, we <br />question whether a variance is necessary. However, if you <br />determine that a variance is necessary we ask that you provide <br />a favorable recommendation. <br />Respectful, <br />Da d, x <br />Nargeiie Fox <br />cc:Bruce Schmitt <br />
