Since this is a vacant lot in a new development next to which both lots are also vacant,would you have any input on whether or not an <br /> exception could be made for this project?I'm happy to discuss this by phone at 763-442-2715. I would greatly value your input or suggestions. <br /> I am also in conversation with Marty Campion(the civil engineer for the plat of OLVIER HILL who designed the grading plan)as well as city <br /> engineer Bob Bean to discuss possible solutions to this dilemma. I look forward to speaking with you on Thursday. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Kelly Brouwer <br /> Schoborg Land Services, Inc. <br /> 763-442-2715 (mobile) <br /> kellya.SchoborgLand.com <br /> Forwarded Message <br /> From: Christine Mattson <CMattson a.ci.orono.mn.us> <br /> To: 'Will Haack' <will@gordon james.com> <br /> Cc: "'jaxelson@comcast.net"' <jaxelsona.comcast.net>; "'ron@ronbrennerachitects.com" <br /> <ron aaronbrennerachitects.com>; "'Kelly-Schoborg Land Services, Inc."' <kellv( schoborgland.com>; Melanie Curtis <br /> <MCurtisa.ci.orono.mn.us>; Lyle Oman <LOman@ci.orono.mn.us>; John van Dyck<johnvgordon-james.com> <br /> Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2015 3:20 PM <br /> Subject: RE: 2330 Oliver Hill/#2015-00388 <br /> Will, <br /> We received an updated survey dated 4-22-2015, but it is not to scale. As requested the survey now shows the approved <br /> grading plan elevations for the Oliver Hill subdivision as the existing topography, thank you. <br /> During my review of the number of stories calculation, it appears that the lower level of the home(not including the <br /> unexcavated garage area) is classified as a"story"and not a"basement" as is needed; you have a 3-story home where <br /> 2%stories above a basement is the maximum permitted. The first floor elevation is shown as 1004.7'which results in the <br /> 998.7' being the determining elevation 6 feet less (see below definitions). According to the code section below, at least <br /> 50% of the perimeter of the basement must be 6' below existing grade . Attached is a highlighted copy of the survey <br /> showing an approximate location of the unexcavated area(in green); the existing 998' elevation (in yellow); the perimeter <br /> of the basement(in pink) and the area of the basement that is conforming (in blue). Attached is our information sheet on <br /> building height and number of stories. <br /> I believe if you lower the house and/or first floor elevation (FFE) at least 3 feet the lowest level would meet our definition of <br /> a basement and not be considered a story. Please modify the proposed house elevations on the survey and/or house <br /> plans and resubmit two copies for our review. Have the surveyor reference the elevation used for the number of stories <br /> calculation on the survey. <br /> Christine Mattson <br /> Planning Assistant <br /> City of Orono <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway I Orono I MN 155356 (physical address) <br /> PO Box 66 I Crystal Bay I MN 155323-0066 (mailing address) <br /> 'M 952.249.4620 16 952.249.4616 <br /> ® cmattson@ci.orono.mn.us I ;www.ci.orono.mn.us <br /> Office Hours: Monday-Friday 8 am to 4:30 pm <br /> OUR OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED: Monday, May 25, 2015 <br /> 3 <br />
