Re: Building Permit Application
Dear Mr. Troyak:
A review of your building permit application finds your proposed addition does not meet an
average lakeshore setback as required by Orono Municipal Code Section 10.56, Subd. 16 (C)(6).
Even though your existing house does not meet the setback and is closer to the lake than your
proposed addition, any new work is required to meet setbacks.
Your options are to 1) redesign your addition to meet setbacks or 2) request variance approval
for your proposed location. Enclosed is a variance application for your review. Please advise
me on your decision as soon as possible to prevent further delays.
Sincerely,

§ 10.56
� 6. Average lakeshore setback. No principal
or accessory structure shall be located closer to the lakeshore
than the average distance from the shoreline of existing residence
buildings on adjacent lots, except that this does not apply to
stairways, lifts, landings, and lockboxes. Further, the average
lakeshore setback shall apply only to classified lakes, and shall
not apply to tributaries. The average lakeshore setback line shall
be a straight line connecting the most lakeward protrusions of the
residence buildings on the immediately adjacent lakeshore lots.
D. Minimum Lowest Floor Elevations. All
structures located within the Shoreland Overlay District which are
subject to the flood plain regulations of Section � 10.55 of this
ordinance shall be placed at an elevation consistent with the
requirements of that section. The regulatory flood protection
elevation shall be established as set forth in Section 10.55, Subd.
7 of this code. All structures constructed within the Shoreland
Overlay District shall have their lowest floor, •including basement,
placed at an elevation no lower than the regulatory flood
protection elevation. Where the regulatory flood plain elevation
cannot reasonably be determined, the minimum elevation at which the
lowest floor, including basement, may be placed shall be determined
as follows :
l. For lakes, by placing the lowest floor at
�; a level at least 3 feet above the highest known water level, or 3
� feet above the Ordinary High Water Level, whichever is higher.
2. For rivers and streams, by placing the
lowest floor at least 3 feet above the flood of record.
E. Water-oriented Accessory Structures. The only
water-oriented accessory structure allowed to be located nearer the
Ordinary High Water Level than the normal structure setback as
specified in this section shall be a lock box no greater than 20
square feet in area and no higher than 48 inches in height. Such a
structure requires a building permit from the City.
F. Stairways, Lifts and Landings. Stairways and
lifts are the preferred alternative to major topographic
alterations for achieving access up and down bluffs and steep
slopes to shore areas. Stairways, lifts and landings shall be
allowed in the shore setback zone and must meet the following
design requirements:
l. Stairways and lifts must not exceed 4 feet
in width. �
2. Landings for stairways and lifts shall not
exceed 32 square feet in area.
F,.- 3. Canopies or roofs are not allowed on
stairways, lifts, or landings.
