MN 53336 Wood platfonn ai 1354 Rest Point Circle Dear Janice: I hope that tone of the (acts belon will help lay out the reasons we find it neoessan to haxe a platfonn on our propem for the puipoaes of hoMtni our dock and iu support itnictefcs. We are requestutf a \anance to keep this stnienue in place The wood plarfbnn on the hill b% the lake is for the purposes of holding all of our dock pieces Without it there u no placeiopiiioar dock. The hill is approx a 34 foot drop firotnihe lop of the hUL and it u about a 43 degree drop to the lake. B^tise of this slope there is nowhere on the hill or shore to store a dock of am size The pieces of the dock are as follows: 1. 16 docks wetiom of 3 feet by 8 feet 2. 12dockaectionsor3 Sfeetby 8fect 3. S3 vertick metal suppon poles 4 100-200 metal horizontal support poIcSl S. 20 support poles for a dock canopy If wo are required to tear down the storage platform we will lu\« a hardship. Lem ing the dock in the water would destro) tt To replace the dock would be m the S23.000 00 range We are not looking to ha\e any more room than enough to adequately store the dock and tlie support structures tiLit arc needed to keep the dock in place during the use in the tummeittme This platform ts about the smallest that is necessary to hold all tiK pieces My wife is on the board of the Lake Minnetonka As$oc. and we are sery* concerned about the look of lire lake and any erosion issues that could impact the lake. We base recently np rapped our shore line beca use of wa\e erosion and the slope that could gi\e way if we did not Ikm adequate measur es to ennic the integrity of the shore lute The stairs yw«g down to the lake are a hazard and will need to be addressed in the future as we base had people (all down the suirs already. It is sery steep, and we are commined to sohe this mer time, but it costs a lot of money and we are suing for it We only want a safe walk down to the lake with adequate room for dock storage and nothing else. In our new liouae plans we ha\e pulled the bouse back from itie lake, and are reducing the hard cmer as well This should show our good intentions in woiking with the aiy of Orono We appreciate your considention of our request for a \anancc to keep this platfonn for the necessity of storing our dock and lU suppon pieces in the winter time Denny A Amanda Walsh 1334 Rest Point Circle Orono.
