. . . <br /> John and Lynn Young <br /> 4355 Chippewa Lane <br /> Maple Plain, MN 55359 <br /> 952-473-9891 <br /> wk: 651-644-2294 <br /> To Whom It May Concern: . <br /> We are requesting a variance in order to build our new home for the following <br /> . � ,� reasons: <br /> 1) The Fronf portion of the L-shaped lot off Chippewa Lane has no site <br /> available to build on due to the side lot restrictions of 50 feet, <br /> necessary setback of 100 feet off the road, 5 year old septic system <br /> tanks and mound, and a 4 year old 3 car garage w/concrete parking <br /> and landscaping. The original house is currently 5 feet off the side lot <br /> and cannot be remodeled or added onto —this house will be torn down <br /> or moved off the property in agreement with Orono building � <br /> requirements after the new home is built. <br /> 2) We�have located the new home on the 50 foot side lot set back and <br /> � are locating it across from the new garage as this allows us to tie into - <br /> the septic system, electrical and existing driveway. We will be set back <br /> from Chippewa Lane well over 100 feet. . � <br /> 3) We are building with a lot of South facing windows for passive solar <br /> and this is the ideal location for unobstructed southern exposure and <br /> still allows for a patio and future pool area in back of the house. <br /> 4) There is no site available to the east as it is taken up by the 3 year old <br /> horse barn and electrically fenced pasture areas. There is also <br /> underground power going to the barn from the 3 car garage and lift <br /> � station piping running from the barn up to the septic tanks and field. <br /> . 5) Lastly, and just as important as the previous reasons,�is we would <br /> have an incredible view of the landscape and woods behind us <br /> overlooking the Luce Line. , <br /> Sincerely, � <br /> � John Young, Lynn Young <br /> RE�EIVED <br /> , DEC �'�7 2008 <br /> CITY OF ORONO � <br />
