Frederick N. Puzak 1340 Baldur Park Rd. Orono,MN 55391 C��'�'��^�,� Ms. Kris Jenson �� ,q�� City of Oxono ��4=Y�Y�� Box 66 Crystal Bay,MN 55323 August 24, 1999 Re: 1340 Baldur Park Rd. (Lot 30,Block 1 Baldur Park) Dear Ms. Jenson: This letter is a follow-up to our scheduled meeting on August 23 which Mr. Weinberger was una.ble to attend. As we begin working with you on the planning process to expand our home loca.ted at 1340 Baldur Park Rd, Orono,there are a num�r of issues which we ask that you,Mr. Weinl�rger and Mr. Barrett consider: 1. Council Resolution#1415, dated.September 1982,to wlaich you referred,is moot and irrelevant in that the applicant never owned.or controlled a recorda.ble interest in our property, Lot 30 together with its easement over Lot 31,yet he was trading restrictions over Lot 30 in.exchange for variances benefiting proposed Lots 2 and 3 of the replatting. 2. Of greater relevance, and more recent, is Council Resolution#2483 of August 1988 which concerns the closest neighboring residence at 1376 Baldur Pazk Rd. This resolution granted lakeshore setback and hardcover variances to allow aew construction 20 feet from the shoreline, hardcover of 30 percent in the 0- 75 ft. zone, hardcover of 38.9 percent in the 75 -250 ft. zone,and total structural coverage (house,deck, stairs, garage)of 2,771 sq. ft. or 20.6 percent of the lot azea. 3. We aze requesting permission to build structural coverage af 15 percent of our lot azea as allowed by city ordinance. Followin�is an overview of the relevant facts: • Lot 30,block 1,Baldur Pazk Rd. contains appro�ma�tely 22,000 sq. ft or.51 acre with an easement over Lot 31 (approxirnately 12,000 sq. ft.)for private sewer purposes benefiting Lot 30. � Our home on Lot 30, at its northerly foundation wall, is loca.ted 49.1 ft from the 929.4(northerly)shoreline elevation,and with decks and gazage, contains 2,399 sq. ft. of structural hardcover,or approxunately 10.9 percent of the lot azea. • The 15 percent rule would allow an additiona1900 sq. ft. of structural hardcover.
