I <br />April 13,2005 <br />Brod d Donno Olson <br />3645 North Shore Drive <br />Orono, MN 55391 <br />X <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />We are the owners of 3645 North Shore Drive property. The purpose of this letter is to <br />protest a zoning variance application for a rooftop deck, applied for by the owner of the <br />adjoining property, 3635 North Shore Drive. This deck is non-conforming in accordance <br />with City of Orono code, and is also extremely intrusive of our privacy. <br />The deck is less than 15 feet fi-om the back door of our home. The bottom photo, taken <br />from our main bathroom, provides a clear view of its intrusive proximity; it seems you <br />could reach out and touch someone as they are walking up the stairs of this structure. <br />In addition to being intrusive, the deck was very cheaply built and aesthetically <br />challenged. Because of the close proximity to our home, anyone on the deck speaking in <br />a normal voice, sounds like they are standing next to us when we’re in our front yard or <br />in our home when the windows are open. <br />It is not our intention to cause the Landlord or Renter unnecessary difficulty or expense, <br />but this deck was built without permission or by following the proper rules of the City of <br />Orono and therefore should be removed in a timely matter following this ruling. <br />i
