Box 66 <br /> Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> November 2, 2000 <br /> Jeremy and Robin Bupp <br /> 19735 Chartwell Hill <br /> Shorewood, MN 55331 <br /> Dear Mr. and Mrs. Bupp: <br /> This letter is to advise you that the City is in the process of addressing concerns regarding the <br /> construction of the new house at 2696 Caroline Avenue. The concerns relate to inconsistencies <br /> between the initial property survey and the as-built survey, between the initial building plans as <br /> approved in the building permit and what has actually been built, and between your surveyor's <br /> calculation of lot area and hardcover and calculations submitted by a group of area property owners. <br /> This letter is also to advise you that any additional work on the property that would add hardcover <br /> prior to resolving the inconsistencies will be done at the risk of being in violation of the City's <br /> building regulations. <br /> On September 29, 2000,the City's Chief Building Official made a number of ineasurements on the <br /> site that showed inconsistencies between what was approved on the building plan submitted with <br /> the building permit application and what was actually built. The first week in October,the Building <br /> Official requested an as-built survey. The as-built survey, which was provided in mid-October, <br /> included updated hardcover numbers. A group of area property owners has had a consultant <br /> calculate the lot area and hardcover numbers based on the as-built survey. The consultant <br /> calculations indicate a substantially smaller lot size and substantially higher hardcover numbers. � <br /> Also in reviewing the survey,a lakeshore as it runs past the property to the west moves substantially <br /> to the south/southeast, which appears to bring it well within 75' of the property at 2696 Caroline <br /> Avenue. If this was not taken into account in the hardcover calculations,the area of the 75-250'zone <br /> could be significantly reduced. Based on these uncertainties and inconsistencies, the City is <br /> concerned that a variety of issues could arise regarding the compliance of the new house with the <br /> City's building regulations, including hardcover and lot coverage. <br /> Telephone(952)249-4600 • Fax(952)249-4616 <br /> www.ci.orono.mn.us <br />
