MN 55323 <br />Re: Minnetonka Custom Homes, App. # 03-2887 <br />Jennifer. <br />Thank you for the submittal regarding the site at 4753 North Shore Drive (CSAH 19). Althou^ <br />Hennqnn County has no land-use/zoning authority, the setback variance could be viewed in light of <br />creating a turnaround for vehicles exiting the site; in other words, could a reasonable turnaround be <br />provided if this variance were allowed? <br />Under new construction scenarios we normally require turnarounds through the entrance permit process. <br />Precluding vehicles backing onto county roads is in e\’eryone*s best interests for obvious reasons. We <br />also stroitgly support the removals of the existing garage and concrete pad from the right of way. Not <br />only does the garage present a hazard to motorists, but also the structure and the pad cause problems for <br />utility installadons. snow-plowing, pedestrian activity, signage, roadway maintetumce etc. <br />Finally, an entrance permit must be processed for the activity within the right of way as well as the <br />construction of the new driveway. <br />Again, thanks for the review opportunity and please call me at 763-745-7643 with further questions or <br />discuuion. <br />Sincerely, <br />A <br />David K. 21etterstrom <br />Entrance Permit Coordinator <br />DKZtjh <br />c: GregGappa,CityofOrono <br />Cathy Ab^ Hennepin County Operations <br />1 <br />4n ORPortUfWy nivtoiw ftKytkdPoptr
