Box 66 <br /> Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> March 29, 2006 <br /> Terry& Suzanne Johnson <br /> 543 Park Ln <br /> Long Lake,MN 55356 <br /> REQUEST FOR FURTHER INFORMATION <br /> SUBJECT: Zoning Application #06-3189 , <br /> The City of Orono is required to notify you within f fleen(15) business days as to the sfiatus of your <br /> application for variances for property located at 543 Park Lane. We have conducted a preliminary <br /> review of the submitted survey,building plans and elevation sketch in relation to fihe proposed grading _ <br /> plan showing existing and proposed contours. We find that there axe a number of specific issues <br /> related to building height and grading which must be resolved: � <br /> � � - 1. The proposed home exceeds the allowed 15%structural co�erage level for this lot. 15%�ofthe <br /> . lot's area is 1,571 s.f.. .The proposed structural coverage is 1,740 s.f.,please revise the plans to <br /> meet the 15%limit. � <br /> 2. We are unable to determine the defined height of the proposed home from the information <br /> � provided,please submit scaled elevation drawings af all four sides of the home and floor plans. <br /> Only a 30' defined building height is allowed. Building height is measured from the highest <br /> pre-existing grade abutting the proposed house to the average height of the highest gable. <br /> 3. The proposed house,based on the submitted grading plan,is defined as a three-story residence <br /> where City code only allows 2 '/z stories. The basement level is defined as a story because less <br /> than�50%of its perimeter is at least 6 feet below final grade. In order to mezt the definition of <br /> a basement the proposed lowest floor must be dropped to 965.5'�. By our analysis the only <br /> „ .portion of the proposed home meeting this standard is.the bump-out on the north side of the <br /> � ; home which encroaches into the required 10' side ,yard setback. We are not allowing this <br /> portion of the home to provide the"highest pre-existing grade"as it does not meet the required. <br /> setback and would be,a contrived elevation point. At least$5' of perimeter must be covered to <br /> a depth of at.least 6 feet in order for the lower level to be considered as a basement in order to � <br /> not be a 3-story home. This issue might be resolved b,y cne of the following methods which <br /> niay or xnay not be appropriate for this site: <br /> a. set the house deeper into the ground; or � <br /> � b. other design revisions or a combination of the above. , <br /> � <br /> Telephone(952)249-4600 � Faz(952)249-4616 <br /> - www.ci.oronoann.us � <br />
