Nyga rd, <br /> We have received your letter to City Administrator Jessica Loftus dated June 28, 2012 requesting an update on the <br /> January 17,2012 complaint filed by you regarding the property at 1385 Rest Point Road. A complainant is always <br /> welcome to inquire about the status of a complaint or violation. However it is not the City's standard practice to offer <br /> status updates or progress reports to complainants regarding property violations as they are classified as ongoing <br /> investigations until closed. <br /> Regarding your complaint specifically, upon receipt of your January letter the City opened a violation investigation <br /> and issued a notification to the property owner detailing the specific violations verified by City Staff. The confirmed <br /> violations of City code included noncompliance with a 2002 variance approval(Resolution No.4834)and unresolved <br /> open building permits. The property owner responded by providing the City with inspection reports documenting <br /> final inspections on open building permits and by modifying the detached garage doors to meet the variance approval <br /> requirements.A deadline was provided and complied with;this violation file has been closed. You are welcome to <br /> review the City's street files for individual properties at City Hall during regular office hours. <br /> The fence within the 75' lake setback existed in its current location prior to the construction of the attached garage <br /> addition in 2003 and is considered an existing nonconforming fence. It is allowed to remain. The portion paralleling <br /> the property line and extending toward Rest Point Road was constructed sometime shortly thereafter. In 2006,the <br /> City notified the property owner of its belief that the height of the fence within the 30'street yard exceeded that <br /> which was allowed. The fence was modified and inspected;the file was closed. <br /> According to our Public Works street superintendent,the bituminous curb in front of 1385 Rest Point Road was <br /> originally installed by the City. It is possible a private company may have caused the damage to the curb; however we <br /> do not have any information regarding the damaging party. The curb repair was completed as part of the City's <br /> normal patching operations in the fall to prepare the roads for the upcoming winter. In terms of time spent removing <br /> and replacing the broken bituminous curb,we don't have any records outlining these specific costs. <br /> Please be advised the City considers the violations to be closed or resolved. There is no further follow up planned. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> CITY OF ORONO <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> Planning&Zoning Coordinator <br /> c: lessica Loftus,Orono Cit�rAdministrator <br /> Telephone(952)249-4600 •Fax(952)249-4616 <br /> www.ci.orono.mn.us <br />
