This letter is in response of your Notice of Violation, dated February 21,2020. Ov <br />clients would like to promptly correct the condition leading to the notice as set forth below. <br />Discussion <br />When my clients purchased their home, they noticed that the slope of the property located within <br />the city right-of-way was badly eroded, causing environmental impact to the lake and property <br />damage in and around the lakeshore. Further, the erosion within the city right-of-way caused <br />damage to the lawn on my client's property. To address these concems, my clients hired a <br />professional landscaper to construct the improvements. They planned the improvements in a <br />way that was designed to protect the property, correct the erosion and still allow for access to the <br />lakeshore, as shown in your photos dated February 18, 2020. Therefore, it was always my <br />clients' intention to provide for both public safety and protection of private property interests <br />within the requirements of the City. <br />Conclusion <br />My clients have contacted their professional landscaper to request that he obtain a land alteration <br />permit. Further, we will make a request to the City Council for an encroachment permit to allow <br />for the improvements within the city's right-of-way. Please advise as to the process for such a <br />request. We appreciate your assistance with this matter. <br />wi C <br />S <br />Larkin Hoffman <br />Roger Peitso <br />City of Orono - Building Official <br />P.O. Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323
