You <br />are scheduled for the March 18, 2024 Planning Commission meeting. This meeting will begin at 6pm at City Hall and you <br />or another representative should plan to attend. I will send out a copy of the agenda and packet the Friday prior to the <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Staff has a few comments/question regarding the proposal that should be addressed prior to attending the Planning <br />Commission: <br />1. Please provide photos of the existing garage and site. Staff may also visit the site next week to document the <br />existing structure. <br />2. Please consider making some modifications in order to gain the support of staff. Staff is supportive of the front <br />and side yard setbacks for the existing garage structure. However, the second story addition above the garage <br />expands this nonconformity. The current proposal has a roofed structure (building and porch) over the entirety <br />of the garage. The eaves extend to the property line. Bringing the second story addition further away from the <br />property lines and thus reducing the size could gain the support of staff. I would be happy to discuss this matter <br />in greater detail. <br /> <br />Please provide additional or revised documentation by Friday, March 8th in order to be included in the Planning <br />Commission packet. Please reach out if you have any questions. I would be happy to set up a meeting or phone call to <br />discuss the room above the garage. <br /> <br />Thank you, <br />Natalie <br /> <br /> <br />Natalie Nye <br />Planner <br />City of Orono <br />Direct 952.249.4626 <br />2750 Kelley Parkway, Orono, MN 55356 <br />www.oronomn.gov <br /> <br /> <br />
