c�� 7, 1986 The Pl":nning City of Orono Box 66 Crystal Bay, Gentlemen: Commission i�iinn. 55323 Thank you for the notice regarding the Public Hearing to be held March 17, 1986 regarding Duane Hall's application for a proposed residential subdivision requiring variances located at 1860 Shadywood Rd. We own the second house South of Duane Hall's on lots 29 and 30. We also own eight tracts of property across County Rd. 19 West of our home. This includes all the property along County Rd. 19 from the Glenn Tillotson properVty to the Coffee bridge. We are well aware of 1%1r. Hall's property and the adjoin- ing properties and we strongly feel that Mr. Hall's pro- posal is not in the best interests of the neighborhood, the general area or our beautiful Lake Minnetonka, Crystal Bay and Shadywood Road are already overcrowded and we strongly oppose Mr. Hall's proposal. We also object to the concept of creation of a new build- ing lot which may be substandard in several respects, namely, lot area, frontage on both the road and lake side and perhaps in surfaced area. Orono has high building code standards but they are meaningless and cannot ac- complish their object of maintaining; the high quality com- munity we all desire if requests of Kr. Hall's nature are approved. In our opinion it reverses Orono's past strict enforcement of building site standards and if approved opens the door to countless other property owners to re- ouest variances. Lastly, a granting of a variance as requ0sted by Mr. Hall would be a direct reversal of the Orono policies as we have observe.' in recent years, to upgrade properties and to limit .,-le building on sub -stand- ard lots in our neighborhood, We rea ues t the Hall's reQ uest. Orono Planning Commission disapprove M.r. Respectfully,�� tfj_ iam D. Gustafson 0000� Ewald H. 1890 Shadywood Rd. ;A►ayzata, Minn. 5539 Gustafson . . li1J, 1 91 CITY OF 0kGN,0__
