Staff conducted <br /> a preliminary review based on the information provided. We cannot continue our review or issue the requested permit; a <br /> hardcover variance is required. <br /> The property is located in Tier 1 of the Stormwater Quality Overlay District. Tier 1 allows 25%of the gross area of the lot to <br /> be covered in hardcover. Even though the hardcover calculations propose a small reduction, we cannot administratively <br /> exchange hardcover for additional structural coverage. A variance application is enclosed as well as the hardcover calculation <br /> packet. <br /> A variance requires a $700 application fee and a $2,500 escrow. The next land use application deadline is Wednesday, <br /> October 215t at Noon for a public hearing at the November 16th planning commission meeting. The planning commission is a <br /> recommending body and their recommendation would be present�d to the City Council at the December 7`h meeting. Please <br /> note this is best case scenario and at any point the application could be tabled, or additional information requested which <br /> will delay the timing. <br /> If you wish to pursue a variance please note the survey and hardcover calculations will need to be updated. The City's survey <br /> requirements are enclosed. The City engineer has not reviewed the survey, but planning staff has noted: <br /> a. According to the aerial photo on Hennepin County's website: <br /> 1. A path or walkway to the lake exists. Please update the survey and hardcover calculations to include the <br /> path or walkway. <br /> 2. The deck appears to be two-tiered or possibly steps down onto concrete? Please clarify and update the <br /> survey and hardcover calculations. <br /> b. Existing topography is shown, please have the survey updated to show proposed grading. <br /> c. Retaining walls are shown, please show top and bottom of wall elevations. <br /> d. Erosion controls measures must be shown. <br /> e. The survey should reflect Sandy Beach as the adjacent property on the west side of the subject property. <br /> Please let me know how you want to proceed. If you are going to apply for a variance a pre-application meeting is required. <br /> You can contact me at 952.249.4620 or by email at cmattson@ci.orono.mn.us to schedule a meeting or if you have any <br /> questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> CITY OF ORONO <br /> �IuV`�J � <br /> Christine Mattson <br /> Planning Assistant <br /> Enclosures C,J> <br /> c Rob Peterson via email <br /> Sean Ennevor;3898 Cherry Avenue; Mound, MN 55364 <br />
