CITY OF ORONO P.0.Box66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 473-7357 TO: Theresa Norsted 2811 Casco Point Road Orono, MN 55391 ZONING FILE #2149 NOTICE OF PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION DATE OF NOTICE: July 23, 1996 COPIES TO: _________ , ______________________________ _ TYPE OF APPLICATION: Variances DATE OF MEETING: 7/15/96 VOTE: 6 FOR 0 AGAINST Planning Commission recommends the following: Planning Commission recommended tabling of the application at applicant's request. Applicant has advised that she wishes to amend the current proposal to include a detached garage within the street yard of the property. There is an excess of some 628.6 s.f. of future hardcover improvements available for the property (allowed= 2,077.5 s.f., existing= 1,448.9 s.f.). Planning Commission members also advised that the proposed three season porch with upper level deck was too intense or massive an improvement as majority of structure would encroach the average lakeshore setback line. Applicant was encouraged to consider a grade level deck at lake side. Members also noted difficulty of locating a detached garage within street yard in light of setbacks of existing garages at both east and west lot lines. To install a garage at a 30' street setback that would meet the required side setbacks, would have a major impact on the street side screened porch and require the removal of extensive plantings and grassed yard area. Members appeared receptive to a side setback variance for garage. As you were advised at the meeting, you will be required to file an amended variance application and staff will prepare the legal notice for publishing in the official newspapers of the City. You must file the amended variance application no later than July 26 (before noon) to ensure scheduling before the Planning Commission at their August 19, 1996 meeting. ch
