Additional information was requested and received, dated August 24, 2015. Staff conducted a preliminary review based on the information provided. Your property is located in LR-lA zoning district which requires a 50-foot setback from the property line to the principal structure. A survey on file from 2007 does not show the concrete stoop, but indicates the house is 45-feet from the front property line facing Long Lake Boulevard. We have no record or a permit of construction for the concrete stoop. If you are able to produce a copy of a permit for the stoop and stairs you can re-build it in-kind,the exact same size and location. If you are unable to provide documentation showing it was a permitted addition,the structure is considered an illegal non-conforming structure. There are two options, we can issue a permit for a stoop meeting the minimum requirements of the building code which is a stoop the width of the door and 3' in the direction of travel. The stoop would need to be shown on a survey including hardcover calculations. The second option,to build the stoop as shown on your drawings, (8'-6"x 5'-9"),a variance is required. A variance requires a$700 application fee,a public hearing at ' a planning commission meeting and approval of the City Council. A variance will take about 6 weeks from the date of application. Please advise us which way you would like to proceed. Sincerely, CITY OF ORONO �v�01/�� C ristine Mattson Planning Assistant c Glen Flaherty via email Roger Peitso, Building Official
