mcguire engler architects 423 south main street stillwater mn 5 5 0 8 2 April 18, 1994 Ms. Jeanne Mabusth Building and Zoning Administrator City or Orono P.O. Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 RE: V ARI.4.i~CE APPLICATION OF MARGARET P. COST FOR 255 soum BROWN ROAD Dear Ms. Mabusth: The variance application prepared by Ms. Cost lacks specific information about the house that she will build if variances are granted. She does not wish to devote the time or money necessary to plan the house until she knows the result of her application. · We know that the house w11l be a two story structure built on the south facing slope in approximately the location shown on our site plan drawing. The floor area will be no larger than 1,900 square feet on each of the two levels and there will be a two car garage with an area of approximately 575 square feet on the upper level. The lower level will be a "waik out" to the south. From the north side the house will appear to be a one story structure, long and low to the ground. Natural materials and colors that blend wi!h the site will be used. Our goal will be to design a house that rainimizes the visual and physical impact on the site. A fairly thorough study has been made of the regulations that must be followed in siting and designing a house for this property. Other than the two variances requested in the accompanying application, we believe that the design will be well within the requirements of the codes and ordinances in effect in your city. There will be changes to the configuration of the footprint and orientation of the structure as the design is developed and there will be minor reconfigurations of the driveway and parking areas. Our site plan drawing is intended to be an illustration of location and general size of major elements on the site and should not be interpreted as an illustration of a design for the house or the driveway and parking area. · 612-439-3710 fax 612-439-3721
