Box 66 E3� , , _--_ - Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 January 19, 2007 Ken Rennick 32670 195t" Ave. New Prague MN 56071 Dear Mc•. Rennick: Your application for a buildinb permit to construct a new house at 3799 Casco Avenue is incomplete because it did not include hardcover calculations. But the real problem is that the house still exceeds the height limit of 2Y2 stories, The height limit is 30 feet and 2.5 stories. The lowest level is not included in the count of stories the as long as the floor of the lowest level is at least six feet below existinQ grade for at least 50 percen�of its perimeter. Six feet above the proposed lowest floor elevation would be 951. Existin� grade adjacent to the foundation of the lowest level is never higher than about 949. It appears the Council will be adopting a new way of determining if the lowest level is included in the count of stories next month. The new method will measure down from the floor above. The lowest level would not be included in the count of stories as long as existin grade is no more than sia feet below the finished elevation of the floor above for at least 50 percent of its perimeter. Areas without a basement will continue to be excluded from the calculation. The survey does not give the elevation of the main level. Based on the house plans it would be 954.33. Si�: feet below this would be 948.33. Interpolating this elevation to be a third of the distance between 948 and 949,the basement is still a story. But it appears that if you could put the main floor at 954 more than 50 pe:�ent of t!;e p�ri.i:eter of the basement��ould be be!o�:� the existing 94R contour. I'm Pnclosing one of the surveys with my calculations. The City Engineer has not reviewed the grading plan, but normally retaining walls are not permitte�d within teii ;eet oi a property line. Perhaps you cou;d expose more o,`the garage foundat�an. The earliest Council could approve the change would be February 12. It�vould to into effect about two weeks later. We will hold your application for now unless you tell us differently. If you should have any questions feel free to call me at 9�2-249-4623.
