Box 66 <br /> Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323.0066 <br /> July 1, 1998 <br /> Robert and Julie Hanning <br /> 4220 Sixth Avenue North <br /> Orono, MN 55356 <br /> Dear Robert and Julie Hanning: <br /> This letter is in response to your request that the City enter into an agreement with you to approve <br /> a subdivision of your property that would include a lot area variance of 23,000 s.f. for a newly <br /> created lot. The amount of the requested variance is equal to the amount of property acquired by <br /> Hennepin County as right-of-way for the County Road 6 project. <br /> The City Attorney has a concern about granting a lot area variance without the public input process <br /> that would be a part of a subdivision or variance application process. Although the City could enter <br /> into an agreement regarding a reduced lot area as part of the settlement of claims related to a right- <br /> of-way acquisition, the City is not a direct party to the County Road 6 right-of-way acquisition <br /> process. Therefore, the City is not able to enter into such an agreement with you. <br /> However, the City is sympathetic to your concern that the lot configuration resulting from a <br /> subdivision that includes a full 5 acres of dry buildable area for the new lot would not maintain the <br /> current homestead lot as a desirable lot in Orono. <br /> Sincerely, / - <br /> Ronald J. Moorse <br /> City Administrator <br /> RJM/lsv <br /> Telephone (612) 473-7357 a FAX 473-0510 <br />
