Also, I do have the surveyor removing the "existing elevations" from the survey for the as-built. Rick Hendel HENDEL Building Highly Detailed Residences&Renovations 15250 Wayzata Boulevard#108 Wayzata,MN 55391 952.404.7204 OFFICE From: Laura Oakden [mailto:loakden@ci.orono.mn.us] Sent:Tuesday, February 20, 2018 10:50 AM To: Rick Hendel <rick@hendelhomes.com> Cc:Jeremy Barnhart<jbarnhart@ci.orono.mn.us>; Roger Peitso<rpeitso@ci.orono.mn.us> Subject: RE: Permit 2017-01424 and Variance 17-3967 Hello Rick, Thank you for the email. It was during the as built foundation review that we realized the building permit plans did not match the variance approvals. The home in the building plans were almost 2 feet taller than what was approved by variance by the City Council.This new roof expansion created an encroachment in the setback areas where variance are needed. City staff can only approve permit for projects that meet the city code or where variances are granted.The building plans you submitted for permit do not meet the city code or the variance approvals because of the roof line expansion. If you want to move forward with the roof shown on the building plans you would need City Council approval for another variance, or you could continue construction by submitting new plans that match the already approved variance. Because city staff does not have the authority to approve permits that do not meet city code your current permit is not valid and construction cannot continue until the discrepancy is resolved. The city has placed a stop work order on this project until new plans are submitted and approved that match the city code and the approved variances. Additionally,the foundation as built identified old/preexisting foundation elevations as "existing elevations" all previous notations on the survey should be removed. Only current as built elevations should be shown. The garage top of foundation elevations called out 940.9 and 942.9, suggesting either a 2 foot step down into the garage or a 2 foot height increase of the garage floor. Please clarify the current elevations on site.Also, please include the lake side foundation as built elevation. I just revived your new plans. I will review them with Roger to confirm this has solved the roof line issue. If these are matching and we can allow you to proceed so you still want a meeting with city staff? It appears we wouldn't be able to have a meeting until tomorrow afternoon with all the parties. Thank you, Laura Oakden Planner City of Orono Direct 952.249.4602 2750 Kelley Parkway, Orono, MN 55356 3
