Hello my name is matt wlaschin, I live at 7755 125' st n, white bear lake mn. I am in the process of looking at building a pole barn on the back half of my 6 arces. The pole barn will consist of storage,work shop and a caregivers living quarters for my retired parents. I am looking to build a 60x64 pole building. It needs to be this big do to the size of the caregivers living quarters of 20x40 area and the rest for storage and what ever is left for a work shop. I have applied for a cup permit to increase the size of pole building I can build. I see there is a height maximum of no higher than the house. I have a rambler house with a walk out, so its laid out kinda different. The upper half of the house at the driveway is 16 feet to the peak of the roof to sidewalk and the walk out side of the house is 23 feet from the peak of the roof to lower patio. The pole barn that I am building I would like to have 16 footValls. The main reason for the tall walls is my 40 foot fifth wheel camper, that is close to 12.7 feet tall including my a/c on top, and also storage for my parents above the caregivers living quarters for some of there belongings, so 16 foot walls would also be nice for that. I am worried that 14 foot walls even would be close with my camper, because not sure with a roll up garage door how much height that would take away from my camper going in pole buiing. I have not yet choosing a builder or design for barn until I know my requirments on what I can do. With 16 or even 14 foot walls at a 60 foot span I am not sure how tall my trusses will need to be. Some say around Ito 10 feet tall which would put me higher than my house with top height of 27 feet. The location of the pole barn is about 135 feet behind my house , surrounded on 3 sides by 30foot plus pine trees. The only open area is to the east where there are no trees. On one note I am going to be planting spruce trees on the east property line which will allow some cover eventually. There are no creeks or valleys on my property. As as of right know with the regulations the highest barn I could build is under 16 foot total height which would be about 8 foot side walls and would not work with any plans I have. With my tall trees surrounding the barn I feel that the barn would not look like it is dwarfmg my house. I ask that you take this into consideration as to my natural buffer's I have in granting my a height variance so I can build my pole barn, take care of my retired parents,store my fifth wheel and have a work shop that I have always wanted. Also in the information that is included in the application I included a print of the preserve on sunset lake, my land is not part of the development, but I wanted to show you the lay out of where I am located, my lot is off of 125th st between lot 1 and 4.
