Box Fi6 <br /> Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br /> Re: Allen and Deanna Munson Average Setback Variance Appiication Scheduled for <br /> Public Hearing Before the Planning Commission on February 21, 2006 <br /> Our File No. 06-3-012F <br /> Dear Mr. Gaffron: <br /> My firm represents Allen and Deanna Munson with respect to the referenced <br /> variance application. The Munsons reside at 3165 North Shore Drive in Orono. As you <br /> know, the Munsons seek to construct a new single family residence in this LR-1 B zoning <br /> district using the foundation for the existing residence. The application came before the <br /> Planning Commission for public hearing on January 17, 2006. At that time, the only <br /> objection to the proposed variance was voiced by Morrie Wagener, the applicants' <br /> immediate neighbor to the south. The Munsons' ap�lication was tabled to give the <br /> applicants more time to address sight line concerns raised by Mr. Wagener. <br /> Originally the Munsons submitted a proposal for the design of a stately, three-story <br /> residence in keeping with the rather substantial residences in the neighborhood. In <br /> res��nse to Mr. Wagner's sight line concerns, the Munsons totally redesigned their new <br /> residence as a two-level home with a flat roof. Sinc;e the public hearing last month, the <br /> Munsons' architect has further revised the design of the proposed residence to reduce the <br /> height of the residenre even more. <br /> The Munsons have attempted to meet with Mr. Wagener and/or his attorney, but <br /> neither Mr. Wagener nor his attorney has been willing to meet. The Munsons and I also <br /> have requested access to Mr. Wagener's property to try to understand Mr. Wagener's <br /> concerns, but our requests for access have not been granted. <br /> As noted in the Minutes of the Planning Commission's meeting on January 17, <br /> 200F, the Munsons average lakeshore setback variance request is necessitated by the <br />
