Although the property <br /> has not exceeded Orono's structural coverage limitation there are too many structures, too <br /> many patios, walkways, walls etc on such a small property located so close to Lake <br /> Minnetonka. The proposed additions aggravate the nonconformities on the property rather <br /> than offer a solution to the hardcover overages. Furthermore staff cannot find any permits or <br /> variances which allow the numerous hardcover landscape areas and structures on the <br /> property. While building permits are not required for all of the hardcover on the site, <br /> hardcover variance approval is required to exceed the allowed levels. The illegal deck <br /> constructed in 1988 continues to be an illegal nonconforming structure. This deck should be <br /> addressed prior to issuing any permits to this property. <br /> Issues for Consideration <br /> Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br /> Staff Recommendation <br /> Planning Staff recommends denial of the variances as proposed. <br />
