We <br /> would have to see a plan that works within the 500 cy limit now(or close to it)with the idea that maybe retaining walls <br /> later on could be removed and an excavated area widened to work without them. <br /> We would need to see a plan in order to make a final determination on this. <br /> Michael P.Gaffron <br /> Senior Planner <br /> City of Orono <br />(Street Address)2750 Kelley Parkway <br />(Mailing Address)P.O.Box 66,Crystal Bay,MN 55323 <br /> Phone:(952)249-4622 <br /> Fax: (952)249-4616 <br /> From: Mark[mailto:markg@gronbergassoc.com] <br /> Sent:Thursday, May 05, 2016 1:51 PM <br /> To: Mike Gaffron<MGaffron@ci.orono.mn.us> <br /> Subject: RE: 1970 Hunter Drive <br /> Thanks for the information. If it can be worked out now,would there be a possibility of asking for some additional <br /> excavation in the future in the back yard? <br /> From: Mike Gaffron [mailto:MGaffron@ci.orono.mn.us] <br /> Sent:Thursday, May 05, 2016 1:31 PM <br /> To: 'Mark'<mark�@�ronber�assoc.com> <br /> Subject: RE: 1970 Hunter Drive <br /> Mark— <br /> You are using an old Building Height info sheet. See attached 2014 sheet. For a gable or hipped roof that has no <br /> windows within the roof svstem,you subtract half the distance between the highest point of the roof system to the <br /> lowest point of the gable. You can't take into account windows that are below the roof system. So I agree with the 8.5' <br /> subtraction the architect used on his building plans, rather than your 9.3'. <br /> The 1019.4'existing spot elevation at the perimeter of the proposed house needs to be shown on the survey.That likely <br /> helps them out. <br /> Do not even think about revising the grading plan for the site.This lot had no grading,and there is no apparent <br /> justification at this late date to suggest a grading plan amendment. <br /> You can only take advantage of the extra 1 foot of fill in determining whether a basement is a story or not, but not in <br /> determining the defined height. See the attached definitions sheet. <br /> 1 <br />
