� ., ♦ <br /> As t�te 2009 survey on file is inoorre�,my as�umpbion is that the hardoover calculations by khe new <br /> homeowners and those refiected on tt�e public hearing notice serrt by the Clty cfi Orono are atsa <br /> Inc;orrecK. <br /> 1 have multiple cwncems regarclir�the c�onstruction of the propose!d gardge as 1 am most directly affected by <br /> the construction of thls building. My concems are as follows: <br /> 1. The propo�eal plan infiinges on the setback from my property by seven feet(plan reflects a 3'setback <br /> where 10'Is required.) <br /> 2. The sire, helght and proPased Plac�ment of the garage will sig�ficaMiy affect the natural Iight#p my <br /> back yard and side yard. The sod and most of the plar�ts wilt be negatively affected by the reduced sun <br /> e�osure. A great number of plarrts wlthin the plarrting be�along the property line and on the west <br /> side of rrry home will not thrlve witfi Ifttle to no sunitght caused by the stnkture. <br /> 3. Due to the overall s�ze and height of the structure,si�t Ilnes from both the intertor and exterfor of my <br /> home wfll be slgnlficarrtly bfodced, Instead af looidng at take views from the dlning room and living <br /> room ar�as within my home, I will be Iovking at a gsrage roaF. Instead of looking at greenscapes when I <br /> am in my back yard, I will be looking at the side of a garage, a mere three i�eet from my property Iine. <br /> 4. The constructlon of tfie proposed gara�e v�All damage the root system of the twtn maple tree that sits at <br /> the comer of the building site thus Jeopardizing the overall health ar�d po�Ible demise of the tree. <br /> I do not begrucig�e anyone a garage especially In Mlnnesata's harsh cllmate as well as the need tio store outdoor- <br /> use items. However,the slze of the structure that is prq�d is extremeiy exc�sive as ft telates to the size o� <br /> the lot and the amount of allowed hardscape. <br /> Ten years ago when 1 tore down my o!d house and buttt the existlrsg structure,it was hammered into me that <br /> Orono is concemed witl�the Iritegrity af the lakes and the surroundireg lands. I was not aliowed to retain any <br /> existtng hardscape on the property when I buitt my new home and had to strictly adhere the 10'side setbadcs <br /> and maint�in as much foota�e from the creelc as possible. <br /> My suggestlon wou[d be: <br /> • Reduce the sl�of the propos�d strudure by haff and er�sur�e that a minimum l0'setbadc is adhered to <br /> vs the 3'requested set�ck. <br /> • Move the structure as far to the north as or close to the home as po�sible to presenre the Integrity of the <br /> creek and a!I nelghbors'lake and r�ature views. <br /> + Reduce the height of the structure so as to not blodc any[ake vlews or natural Iight Into my home. <br /> Respeclfulty, <br /> ��Q.C,Q'-Q_�� <br /> Rebecca L Hotzem <br /> Photo Attachments: <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br />
