The street file for this address contains all <br /> permits issued. You are weicome to come and review the file during business hours— Monday to Friday 8 am to 4:30 pm. <br /> There have a been a few houses on that block for sale recently—any issues with the lake, crime of new roads going in? <br /> For issues pertaining to Lake Minnetonka, you can contact the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District at 952-745-0789. <br /> Questions pertaining to crime should be directed to the Orono Police Department—952-249-4700. <br /> We have never lived by the lake before so we are a bit confused by the hardcover issues. I've attached our Hardcover <br /> Information Sheet. <br /> Can we assume the house as is complies with hardcover rules? <br /> Has a calculation been done already as to hardcover so we would know about adding a patio, flower beds , etc? <br /> Is there a map of the property that tells us the hardcover limits? <br /> Hardcover allowances are called out in Resolution 5591 (attached). <br /> Also attached is a memo from the building inspector regarding outstanding issues. <br /> An as-built survey is the only way to verify complete compliance with approved hardcover levels and approved grading <br /> plan. This has not been done. <br /> There are old log steps going down to the lake—can those be replaced? Yes, they can be rebuilt in-kind. A building <br /> permit is required. Any building permit questions can best be answered by Lyle Oman, Building Official at 952-249-4625. <br /> Feel free to call me and if I'm unavailable just tell me when to call back—thank you for your help. <br /> Tom Dickson <br /> Patterson Thuente Skaar& Christensen <br /> 2 <br />
