Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55356 Dear Jeanne: As you know, the preliminary plat which we submitted for Indian cleek utilizes an outlet for the access to Lot Block^. I would like to state the factors which influenced the use of the outlet. Lot r. Block ^ has 200 feet fronting on the main road. However, a driveway which came off of the main road would have to travel about 400 feet through low ground. Consequently, we preferred other alternatives for access to the building site on Lot 6. Our preliminary plat uses the Outlet B configuration for access to^Lot The road's cul-de-sac ends on the high ground of the treed area approximately 400 feet from the northern boundary of the property. Instead of providing Lot/I ^^^h an easement over Lot J(, we felt It was 'VcoSJd SlsJ Seeover which Lot I's driveway could be built. that driveway. An alternative was to simply continue the main road along the path that Outlet B occupies and provide ^he c^- de-sac at the junction of Lots/4 and We have the necessa^ high ground on those two lots to accommodate the drainfield locations would not be impaired by the road. I have asked Sunde Land Survey, Inc. to provide you with a drawing showing that configuration. Considering the two alternatives, the Outlet B design is preferable to extending the road for a number of reasons. 1.Aesthetics favor the use of Outlet B. A single driveway going up to Lot and ^ will be far less disruptivG of th© ar©ai and mor© a©sth©tically pl©asing than a wide paved road. The present cul-de-sac located in the high ground in the treed area will be a very attractive turn around point for motorists. There is simply no good r©ason to run turn-around motorists up the hill to the Junction of Lots & and ?. / 9^
