Cc: John Sonnek Subject: RE: 3105 Casco Point Building Height Calculation Kent I just reviewed the plans and my notes from our meeting with John Sonnek. Your analysis is correct. The dormer window can remain glass. I will make a note on the City's copy of the plans. Melanie MeLaNie CuRTis � ? 952.249.4627 � mcurtis@ci.orono.mn.us From: Richey, Kent E. [mailto:KRichey@faegre.com] Sent: Sunday, December 27, 2009 7:47 PM To: Melanie Curtis Cc: John Sonnek Subject: 3105 Casco Point Building Height Calculation Hi Melanie, I understand that you were concerned that the dormer on the front of our hose might violate the 30 foot "building height rule if it was left as a window(rather than shuttered). Attached is a calculation that I muddled through trying to determine whether my house plans complied, and at least the way I went about it, it looks like the dormer with a window is OK. Could you let me know if I did this correctly? Thanks. ****** Kent E.
