- EXHIBIT <br /> C(a) <br /> � CITY OF ORONO—VARIANCE APPLICATION Application# 0�"�2.5(� <br /> ADDENDUM TO APPLICATION FOR: <br /> Matthew A. & Kathleen M. Dolliff Residence <br /> � 2680 Pheasant Road, Orono, MN 55331 <br /> � PID#21-117-23-23-0020 . <br /> DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST <br /> History& Current Situation � <br /> The applicant and his family have lived in the house on this property since June of 1998, having <br /> � purchased the house from his parents who were the original builders of the house back in 1951. It <br /> is a decently sized parcel (nearly 35,000 SF), although it is relatively long and narrow. The house <br /> is set back 134.3 feet from the high water mark and 110 feet from the street side property line, <br /> pufting nearly all of the impervious surfaces on the property within the 75 ft. to 250 ft. sefback zone. <br /> There are many impervious e(ements in this typical lakeshore home, and their sum total results in a <br /> hardcover percentage of 34.19%due to the narrowness of the lot(average lot width through the <br /> zone is only 106.2 ft). So even though the lot is 34,625 SF,the relatively modest house,driveway <br /> � and turnaround, patio and decks, and retaining walls result in an impervious coverage ratio that is <br /> 9,2% above the 25% ordinance maximum. <br /> In February 2002(refer to File#02-2754 Approved Variance Application 2/25/02)the applicant <br /> went through the variance application process in order to add additional space to their home which <br /> provided for a much needed dining room (which they did not have at the time) and solved a water <br /> drainage issue at the same time. In order to not create an even greater discrepancy from the <br /> ordinance impervious maximum, the owner agreed to remove an equal amount of other impervious <br /> surfaces within the same 75-250 ft. to equal his additions. This plan maintained the 34.2% <br /> hardcover percentage and was granfed approval by the Planning Commission in a 6-0 vote and <br /> then approved by the Cify Council on February 25, 2002. This plan is referred to in the attached � <br /> site plan reference drawing "A." The project and impervious changes were completed lafer in <br /> 2002. <br /> As part of the landscaping changes made to comply with the 2002 variance, fhe applicant <br /> performed additional impervious removals in anticipation of a newly conceived plan that formed <br /> sometime during the aforementioned approved project. This plan, detailed below, would require <br /> additional offsetting removals, so the applicant went ahead and designed the landscaping changes <br /> to provide for some of the anticipated new hardcover. Those current removals bring the current <br /> hardcover percentage in the 75-250 ft. setback zone to 34.08% [refer to Hardcover Calculation <br /> Sheet HCS, and site plan reference drawing 'B"]. ' <br /> Proposed Project - � <br /> During construction on fhe project in 2002, the owners hatched an idea to add a third sfall to their <br /> garage, and add a master suite above a portion of the existing home. Because the proposed plans <br /> (please refer to the drawings attached) do not encroach into any setbacks or create any additional <br /> need for further resolutions/variances, no current variance request is necessary other than to <br /> continue to allow the applicants to maintain the impervious coveraqe resolution previousl� <br /> approved bv the City Council on Februarv 25, 2002, which qrants a variance to permit a 34,2°/a <br /> hardcover within the 75-250 ft, setback zone. <br /> �:> : . . _ r,. _ �;.�, .�� <br /> A ���:: <br /> ) Il%� P."• S: �.,:i <br /> �.�F!".r,7 - • ..� ' ,. <br /> �._'. ..•�.:f+ �• . � . � <br /> �� �r =ii.�. �. ,... ...
