I had been researching a question for Ms. Gatehouse and was <br /> looking at the aerial photos on the Hennepin County website. Thinking of neighbor as <br /> "next-door neighbor" I checked the owner of each parcel, saw that 2447 was owned by a <br /> couple named Bluth, and went off down the path of error. <br /> Regarding 2413: <br /> Because the zoning code defines the front of the lot on a corner lot as the narrower of the <br /> two street frontages, the frontage Shoreline Drive is the front lot line. This makes the <br /> setbacks as follows: <br /> Shoreline Drive �o ty Rd. 16) - 30 feet <br /> Carman Street - et ---- 3 D <br /> South property in - 30 feet <br /> West property line - 10 feet <br /> The lot is subject to the 15% coverage by buildings/structures more than 6 feet tall. Based <br /> on a 1988 survey (by the predecessor firm to Mark Gronberg and Associates) the lot is <br /> 21,000 square feet (but this is including the triangle at the street corner that was later <br /> acquired by the County for street right of way). This would put allowable coverage at about <br /> 3,150 square feet. According to the survey coverage is about 2,000 square feet for the <br /> garage, a shed, and house without the sunroom. <br /> The property is also subject to hardcover regulations. The property appears to be within <br /> the 250 to 500 foot zone, which would allow 30% of the property to be covered by partially <br /> or fully impervious surfaces. The 1988 survey has hardcover at 20.3%. The sunroom <br /> appears to have been constructed over existing hardcover. <br /> A current survey would be required to obtain a permit. It could be done by Gronberg or <br /> any other surveyor. <br /> Feel free to contact me if you have other questions. <br /> Evelyn Turner <br /> City Planner <br /> City of Orono <br /> 952-249-4623 <br /> 952-249-4616 (fax) <br /> i <br />
