June 7, 1985 <br />.1, <br />City of Orono <br />P.O. Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br />RE: SUP for Grading and Variance for Tree Removal <br />1085 Tonkawa Road <br />To The City of Orono: <br />Enclosed please find tna following: <br />o Application for special use permit and variance to restore the excavated <br />area of an existing foundation and remove undeslreablo trees within the 75 <br />foot setback line of the lakeshore residential district, <br />o Grading plan prepared for the site, <br />o Lot survey certificate prepared for the site. <br />o Certified list of property owners within 350 feet of the subject property. <br />o Self-addressed envelopes related to the property owners listed above. <br />o Application fee of $290.00 made up as follows: <br />o $200.00 for the land alteration permit <br />o $50.00 for the variance for tree removal <br />o $40.00 refundable sign deposit <br />It It my opinion that the abandoned foundation area together with a second <br />building site were graded by the previous owners within the 75 foot sot back <br />area. The current status of this Is detrimental to the general appearance of <br />the site as well as creating severe slopes which cause high rates of run-off and <br />undue erosion. The proposal Is to restore the grade approximately to Its <br />existing condition prior to the construction of the two lake cottages. The <br />filling operation will have the Impact of providing a gentle slope as well as <br />removing evidence of the previous cottage areas along the shoreline. The <br />enclosed grading plan and building certificate indicates the current house pro­ <br />posed to be built varies from 90 to 100 feet setback from the lakeshore. If the <br />grading plan Is unacceptable to the City, I wl11 have excess fill removed in <br />accordance with conversations with the Zoning Administration held prior o <br />construction commencing.
