From:Jessica M Galatz <br />To:Melanie Curtis <br />Subject:RE: [External] Setback Variances for 3349 Crystal Bay Rd, Orono / File #LA19-000011 <br />Date:Tuesday, March 5, 2019 8:27:15 AM <br />Thank you for letting us know about the variance application. The Hennepin County Regional <br />Railroad Authority’s (HCRRA’s) practice is to oppose requests for zero-foot setback variances <br />adjacent to its property as zero-foot setbacks do not allow property owners to maintain their <br />property without encroaching onto public land. <br />It appears there is currently a shed encroachment on HCRRA’s right of way adjacent to 3349 Crystal <br />Bay Road. Remedy of this encroachment would mitigate our concern about the zero-foot setback <br />variance.   <br />It is my understanding that the city has already required the proposed roof overhang to be revised. <br />This is encouraging as roof drainage onto the public property would be undesirable. The property <br />owner may contact HCRRA directly to obtain a permit for the proposed grading shown on their <br />survey. <br />Please feel free to contact me directly if we should discuss more. Thank you. <br />Jessica Galatz <br />Principal Planning Analyst <br />Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority (HCRRA) <br />701 Fourth Avenue South, Suite 400 <br />Minneapolis, MN  55415-1843 <br />612-348-2691 (office) <br />jessica.galatz@hennepin.us <br />From: HCRRAmail/Hennepin <hcrra@hennepin.us>  <br />Sent: Monday, February 25, 2019 4:23 PM <br />To: Jessica M Galatz <Jessica.Galatz@hennepin.us> <br />Subject: FW: [External] Setback Variances for 3349 Crystal Bay Rd, Orono / File #LA19-000011 <br />Good afternoon Jessica: <br />This e-mail was sent to the HCRRA mailbox February 25. <br />Sincerely,Joseph ScalaCommunity Works | Hennepin County Public Works
