' ���� . <br /> MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION . <br /> Tuesd�y,February 20,2007 <br /> 6:00 o'ctock p.m. <br /> approaimately 40 �ercent of the wood structure of the eaisting house would remain but thlt the <br /> foundation is old and raises some issues.

' <br /> . Kempf asked whether from Staff's perspective there is some possibility that the 75-foot setback was <br /> measured differently back then. <br /> Gaffron stated the shoreliiie probably has eroded and that it is also probable the setbacks were <br /> measured parallel to the lot lines and not to the lake. Gaffron stated the building inspector at that time <br /> did accept the 75-foot setback. <br /> Rahn stated if the applicants would like the pool to remain,they would need to construct a smaller • <br /> l�ome and that it is a matter of choices. Ralul stated it is not.logical to leave the old foundation under <br /> the portiou of the house that is noncompliant and to construct a new foundation under a different <br /> portion of the house. <br /> Rahn stated seldom has the Planning Commission allowed a developer to add on to the front of the . � <br /> house that is noncompliant as well as increasing the height. <br /> Jacobson stated a second floor is being added on to that area but they are not adding out. <br /> Kempf stated going up �natters when there is an encroachment. <br /> Zullo stated regardless of whether this is a rebuilt or a remodeling pcoject, additional structure within a <br /> setback is not appropriate. <br /> Sinolik stated the setback at its natrowest point is 18.6 feet and that there is a greater setback as it goes <br /> further back. Smolik stated they are attempting to honor tlle site lines oftile tieighbors. <br /> Rahn stated the issues in his mind are the�arage setback,the fi•ont setback, and the hardcover. <br /> � Kempf stated in order to have a large house and a swimming pool on Lake Minnetottka, a.large lot is <br /> necessaty. Kempf stated he would like to see the house pulled fi�rther back. <br /> PAGE 21 <br />
