I do understand your frustration, and hopefully we can resolve the issue as soon as possible. <br /> One option would be to apply for an after-the-fact variance to keep the concrete pad in the current location. As of <br /> September 1st variance applications are$275. After-the-fact variances require a double fee, $550. Attached is a <br /> variance application packet. One of the required submittals of a variance application is the Practical Difficulties <br /> Form. You would need to state your practical difficulty or hardship. In past we've found other property owners struggle <br /> with practical difficulties for accessory structures/improvements. <br /> The other option would be to contact the MCWD and see if they are willing to adjust the buffer in that area or are willing <br /> to do any buffer averaging on your property. We have a call into the Watershed district to see if this is an option, or you <br /> can contact Heidi Quinn yourself at 952-641-4504. <br /> Christine <br /> From:Jennifer Nyquist [mailto:nyquistil@Rmail.com] <br /> Sent: Monday, September 25, 2017 2:59 PM <br /> To: Christine Mattson <CMattson@ci.orono.mn.us> <br /> Cc: Melanie Curtis<MCurtis@ci.orono.mn.us>; Denny Walsh <dwalsh2@ci.orono.mn.us> <br /> Subject: Re: 1125 Pine View Drive/2016-01339 <br /> Christine- <br /> I received your email about our concrete pad. I do not want to shoot the messenger on this but your email was <br /> most upsetting. <br /> Over the past 3 years, we have worked with the city, MCWD, the developers, had countless surveys and as- <br /> builts performed, had engineers and the city discuss, and analyze our backyard, gone through vacation easement <br /> proceedings and city council meetings to jump through all the hoops we are supposed to and NEVER once in all <br /> those discussions, meetings, reviews did ANYONE every mention or place on a survey or as-built the fact that <br /> there is a buffer to the MCWD buffer. The only concern ever stated or placed on the surveys or as-builts or in <br /> association documents has been the MCWD wetland buffers. The fact that there is a buffer to the buffer is <br /> ridiculous. <br /> 2 <br />
