Within the RR-1 B zone, structures over 1,000 sq ft require a 30' <br /> side yard setback and a 50' rear setback. Between 750 - 1,000' the setback is 15'. A 6 foot fence is allowed. <br /> If the fence is over 6' in height the setbacks are 30' side yard and 50' rear yard, engineered plans for the fence <br /> are required and a variance is necessary. <br /> Once we know the size of the court and have it drawn on the survey we could better advise, but as for right <br /> now, I know your big concern is the wetland buffer. We believe instaliing a sport court would cause enough <br /> land disturbance and would result in more hardcover draining toward the wetland, therefore still triggering the <br /> buffer requirement. <br /> For the answers regarding your fire pit questions, I'm forwarding this email to our Building Official, Lyle Oman <br /> to address. <br /> Chris� <br /> -----Original Message----- <br /> From: Geri Jorgenson (mailto:gerijorg@msn.com] <br /> Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 3:29 PM <br /> To: Christine Mattson <br /> Subject: Sport Court and Fire Pit Permit <br /> Hi Christine: <br /> It was nice seeing you today. Here are some of my questions about putting a sport court and fire pit in my <br /> backyard. <br /> 1. The sport court would be in my side back yard where the land is pretty flat today. Between house lower <br /> level walkout and west side lot line. Not <br /> behind house like pool. It would have a fence and lighting with it. From <br /> what I believe the rules are, I don't believe it triggers any wetland issue, please advise. <br /> 2. What are the setback requirements (although I think we will be way far away from those. Are there rules on <br /> fencing? Is it in the general building permit? <br /> 3. Firepit- we are debating between a wood burning pit and a gas fire pit. <br /> What are the restrictions for both as par as set back, distance from house and permit needed? <br /> Thank you for helping me out on these issues. <br /> Geri Jorgenson <br /> 2650 Countryside Dr. W <br /> Orono, MN 55356 <br /> i <br />
