I appreciate your time. <br /> It does say that, but the "side and rear yards only" language is clearly meant to exclude front yards,not wetland <br /> setbacks. Instead one must look to the section regarding wetland setbacks (78-1605). This section states only <br /> that the wetland setback is a "Minimum distance setback from delineated edge of wetland to any <br /> , hardcover, septic systems or wells". This is open to interpretation as <br /> to what is being measured from. I am again left to ask whether the roof can then overhang it. <br /> I don't recall specifically whether I discussed this with you, but I had discussed it with one of the women in <br /> your office (I can't recall which one, and it doesn't matter...I'm not looking to get anyone in trouble) at an earlier <br /> date. I very specifically asked this question. <br /> I need specific answers in writing to a few questions before I can proceed with any further home planning or <br /> even making this move. I will stop by this afternoon. Thank you for your time. <br /> (I apologize if my tone is not positive--I try very hard to follow the rules and plan accordingly. This is an <br /> extremely frustrating development. Please know I am not personally upset with anyone.) <br /> Rob Erstad <br /> On Tue, Jan 9, 2018 at 1:39 PM, Melanie Curtis <MCurtis@ci.orono.mn.us>wrote: <br /> Rob <br /> Thank you for sending your proposed plans. You're right, the MCWD wouldn't have any issues with the cantilevered <br /> portions of the home as the 35-foot setback it is a City wetland setback. <br /> I reviewed the plans and the City Code again with others in the Planning department and have come to the same <br /> conclusion: the cantilevered portions of the home have to be removed from the wetland setback. <br /> Section 78-1405 Nonencroachments: in section 78-1405(a)(1) the code states that eaves,gutters, and"other similar <br /> features"are permitted to encroach up to 2 feet into a required yard area; however, according to section 78-1405(a)(4) <br /> 1 <br />
