' f /3l H cnrv 8. K inoman , Jr . •O SOUTH SIXTH PTSirr MINNSASOklS SS40S October IS, 1979 Mr. end Mrs. Donald Gaable 1205 Shoreline Drive Waysata, Minnesota 55391 9 4 Dear Don and Marilyn: It seeos as though it's taken forever to get to this point, but Murph and I are finally (I hope!) getting close to the point of starting construction next door to you. And, as you might expect at this stage, things are in a bit of a rush and we need your help. The surveyors have staked out our proposed house and I would like to show it to you. Orono city officials have been very helpful, and I believe we are within reasonable variances. Our house will be very modest compared with the Nobles* plans, and we are requesting more conservative variances. Where we might be a bit vulnerable is with respect to the setback from the lake. We propose that the shortest distance from our shoreline be 55', one and a half feet less than the average set backs of the Rltss* (48') and yours (59'). With your support, our request for this variance would enable us to leave the north part of our lot "pure" as far as the pond and wetlands are concerned. Our biggest problem is that we have to have our variance application in the zoning administrator's hands this Wednesday, October 17. If you agree that our proposed site is acceptable from your stand point, we would appreciate it ever so much if you would sign and return a copy of this letter so that I may use it as one of ay exhibits when I appear before the Planning Coamission later this month. Many thanks for your help. Sincerely, . ^ L •f • < C End. HSK/dm To: H. S. Kingman, Jr. and the Orono Planning Coamission: We have no objection to construction of your house in conformity with the Schoell & Madson site plan dated 10-3-79. Date Date: 7^^
