HN 5522-CC65 June 17,2003 Mr. And Mrs. David Gross 2635 Countryside Drive West Long Lake, MN 55326 Dear Mr. And Mrs. Gross: As we have discussed, a cement court was built on your property which decs not meet the required setback distance from the side property line on your lot. Because your 35' X 65* court is more than 1000 square f«t the Orono Zoning Cede SccUons 10.03, Subdivision 14 (C) and Subdivision 14 (D) require that it be located 30* from a side property line. Yours appears to be about 7 or 8*. If you or your contractor had applied for the required permit prior to begirjiing work you would have known about these requirements in advance. When vour contractor started work even though there was no permit posted he left you in a difficult position You also hired a landscape contractor to build a fenced n garden. This garden does not require a permit, but it does need to be: 1. On your property 2. No more than 6' high within 30 ’ of the property line 3. No fill or retaining wall may be within 5' of the property line Section 12.02 of the Orono Zoning Code says: "The owr.er and/or occupant of any property, upon which any work has been done in \iolation of a.-.v Building Code or zoning requirement shall be respotwible for obtaining a permit, and/or for correcting, removing or abating such violation within thirty days after notice from the City that such violation e.xists.' Therefore, you and your contractors have not corrected these violations by July 21, 2003, the City may initiate legal action.
