Box 66 <br /> Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> March 3, 2005 <br /> Masters Mortgage Chris Baker <br /> Attention: Tina 4986 Safari Circle <br /> Fax: 952-475-6646 Eagan,MN 55122 <br /> RE: 180 North Shore Drive W <br /> To Whom It May Concern: <br /> The above referenced property is zoned RR— 1B, One Family Rural Residential District, <br /> requiring a minimum lot size of 2.0 dry acres and 200' of width at the right-of-way. The <br /> property has an existing lot area of approximately 5.2 total acres (some wetland) and <br /> approximately 340' of defined width per Hennepin County tax records and above the <br /> minimum standards established by the zoning district. Principal structure setback <br /> requirements are 50' from the front and rear property lines, 30' from the side property <br /> lines, and 26' from wetlands. The existing house appears to meet these setbacks per a <br /> 1996 survey existing on file at the City Offices. <br /> The lot does not appear to be non-conforming in any manner. However, delineation of <br /> the wetland may result in a dry acreage of under 2.0 acres per zoning district <br /> requirements, which may make the property non-conforming in lot area. If this was the <br /> case and the existing structure was destroyed willingly or destroyed by fire or an act of <br /> God by 75% or more, a variance to lot area may be required in order to rebuild on the site <br /> within the same footprint. Based on the history of lot area variances for <br /> teardowns/rebuilds it is likely that the City Council would grant a lot area variance, <br /> should the new construction meet all other Zoning Ordinance requirements. If the house <br /> is destroyed by fire or an act of God by less than 75% it may be reconstructed in the <br /> manner that it exists today. <br /> Please feel free to contact me at(952)249-4623 if you require further information. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> City of Orono <br /> Janice Gundlach <br /> City Planner <br /> Telephone(952)249-4600 - Fax(952)_249-4616 <br /> www ci.orono.mmus <br />
