Our building permit was approved <br />and issued on June 20th, 2(XX) and we began consiniclion. In November, at the request of <br />a neighbor, the city again reviewed our suney and hardcover calculations and we were <br />informed that, as our lot is situated on a point, it was necessary to establish the 75* setback <br />line from the ordinary high water elevation even if it required measunng across someone <br />else's adjacent property. (Sec suney). Unfortunately Alla Survey CiHnpany, Inc. had <br />never heard of this requirement and the Orono city staff did not enforce it at the lime ol <br />permit application. In June it would have been a simple matter to adjust our design to <br />conform. <br />10012 CRISTMILL ridge <br />EDEN PRAIRIE. MN 55347 <br />9S2-943-8226 <br />C../»s
