MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF JULY 18, 1983 Page 18 <br />uml1 (1 <br />JIL 1 81983 I: j <br />iLky <br />CITY OF ORONO <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />FROM: D. A. Taylor, 1880 Shadywood, Wayzata, MN <br />RE: Mr. Seifert's Variance Request <br />JULY 17,1983 <br />I live two doors from the Seiferts and would like the Council to <br />know I will not go along with Mr. Seifert's request for an <br />extension of time to remove the small house near the lake. <br />I would have appeared in person to voice my feelings but poor <br />health prevents me from doing so. <br />I went along with his request for a variance in 1980 because I <br />thought the issue was only a matter of hard-cover. I was led to <br />believe at that tim** that removing the small house was not an <br />issue, that Mr. Seifert planned to remove the lakeshore house. <br />Also, I recall a tax problem. Mrs. Seifert had sold a house and <br />it was necessary to put some $40,000 of capital gains into a new <br />home or else pay taxes on the amount. <br />I feel Mr. and Mrs. Seifert should perform on their part of the <br />agreement with the City and object to an extension. I would have <br />objected in 1980 if I had realized there was a possibility that <br />the small house by the lake would not be removed within a few <br />years. <br />I have talked with Glenn Tillotson, 1875 Shadywood; he feels as I <br />do and objects to an extension of time to remove the house. <br />Frankly, we both feel that Mr. Seifert made an agreement with the <br />City and should keep his part of the agreement. <br />Respectfully, <br />D. A. Taylor <br />I <br />fm <br />mm <br />♦vi <br />m-C- <br />if <br />:/ <br />m <br />sNv- <br />of <br />/ <br />C
