SUBJECT: Zoning Application #06-3246—4205 North Shore Drive
Dear Mr. Moras:
Recently I was looking at the plans for the house you are constructing at 4205 North Shore Drive. I
realized I had misunderstood the plans and as a result a portion of the owner's suite cantilever is in error.
When I reviewed the plans for the building permit I though the westerly wall of the second floor was set
in 18 inches from the wall of the first floor so the eave extended 18 inches from the first floor wall. As
you may recall,you had to reduce the eave on the east side from 24 inches to 18 inches because only an
18 inch encroachment into the 10 foot setback is allowed. The code was recently changed to allow a two
� foot encroachment so there is no problem with the eave along the westerly side of the house. However
there is a problem with the cantilevered area of the owner's suite. My misunderstanding of the plan
places the westerly 18 inches of this area within the average lakeshore setback. The average lakeshore
setback was for the decks steps only.I have discussed the situation with Soren Mattick,the City Attorney,
he indicated and I concurred that since there is no variance for it the portion of the cantilever than is
within the average lakeshore setback must be removed.
I apologize for my error. Unfortunately we are dealing with a code so I have no room to make an
accommodation.
Please submit plans for the revision to the cantilever to Lyle Oman, Building Official.
Please call me at 952-249-4623 should you have any questions.
Sincerely,

Deaz Mr. Olson:
Please be advised that this law firm represents the City of Orono. The
Assistant City Admuustrator,Michael Gaf&on, and City Planner,Evelyn.Turner,
have requested that I prepare the City's response to your correspondence dated April
2, 2008.
I have reviewed the City's file regarding your client's application along with
all of the attachments to your letter. As I understand it,the existing concem involves
a corner of a cantilever located within the average lakeshore setback. I have advised
City staff that it is my opinion tha.t Resolution No. 5601 authorizes a set of stairs and
the cantilever to encroach into the average lakeshore setback. As such, and as your
letter requests,the City is retra.cting their request that the cantilever be modified.
If you have any questions regarding this correspondence please feel free to
contact me at(651)234-6217.
Very iruly yours,
CAMPBELL KNUTSON
