Council <br /> Mike Gaffron <br /> Exhibit F <br /> From: Mike Gaffron <br /> Sent: Friday, December 12, 2014 1:16 PM <br /> To: Todd Holmers (toddholmers@gmail.com); 'Jamison Kohout'; Mark Way <br /> (mark�atlashomesmn.com) <br /> Cc: 'Mark'; Lyle Oman <br /> Subject: Lot 3 Northern Oaks <br /> Attachments: Northern Oaks - Excerpt from Preliminary Plat Resolution.pdf <br /> Todd/Jamison/Mark: <br /> Regarding Northern Oaks permits: <br /> Lot 2 permit should be ready to issue early next week. <br /> Lot 3 permit has problems. Code limits houses to 2-1/2 stories. Existing grades are required to be used for determining <br /> whether the lowest floor is a story or a basement (see attached excerpt from preliminary plat approval resolution).On <br /> Lot 3 the basement is by definition a story. Therefore the house is 3 stories and can't be approved as designed. I've <br /> discussed this briefly with Mark Gronberg so he is aware of the issue. I have explored some options such as flipping the <br /> house or even adding a room below the garage to expand the perimeter of the lowest level and nothing solved the <br /> problem. We need to discuss. This house likely has to be redesigned as 2-1/2 stories. <br /> Mike <br /> Michael P.Gaffron <br /> Senior Planner <br /> City of Orono <br /> (Street Address)2750 Kelley Parkway <br /> (Mailing Address)P.O.
