As qou axe no doubt <br /> aware, the desire to engage in these improvements has been in the works for manp months and we <br /> greatly appreciate the City of Orono's help and direction. <br /> As requested, I've enclosed (3) Three sets of signed plans for review As we discussed, the <br /> improvements to the driveway and rear patio adjacent to the house axe allowed under administrative <br /> review as they do not exceed the allowable hatd-covex limit of 20%. <br /> As I understand, proposed improvements are acceptable to the City of Orono with some <br /> improvements requiring the following actions: <br /> A. Condirional Use Permit is required for replacing the existing retaining walls along the lake <br /> shoreline. <br /> B. Buildin�Permit is xequired for both reax house steps and lake access staixs. <br /> C. Hardcover Variance is required for the proposed flagstone landing to replace the existing <br /> wood/turf landing at the lake shoreline. A haxdcover variance will also be required if the <br /> Owner would like to pursue a wood deck(on concrete piers) on the shoreline. <br /> The plans submitted incorporate natural vegetation with an erosion control netting to mitigate the <br /> existing shoreline creep in-lieu of previously planned retainuig walls on the slope. This decision was <br /> made by the Owner as a desire to both provide a natural embankment and respect the City of <br /> Orono's wishes to not have walls visible from the lake. However, the desire to `engage the water' <br /> through placement of a seating area, noted in our plans as a series of concrete &wood piers with <br /> natural wood decking, still exists and we would appreciate the support of City staff in this arena. <br /> Thank you for your time and assistance. <br /> Regards, <br /> LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE, INC. <br /> � �- <br /> -� <br /> Benjamin Hattberg,LEED AP,Project Managex <br /> 85G RAYMOND AVENUE • ST.
