Nelson 3115 Cedar Avenue South Apt. 3 Minneapolis, Mn. 55407 RE: Big Island Record Lot No. 16 Dear Mrs. Arneson and Mrs. Nelson, Enclosed is an infc,rmation packet on your Big Island property as sent to all owners on the island. The purpose of this is to inform you about the new zoning ordinance adopted last December, and to record information about your property to ensure that your building rights are protected to the fullest intent of the ordinance. I apologize for the delay in getting this informaiton to you. One reason for the delay is that your pro-^rty as identified by this Record Lot is unusual in several respects. I want to be sure that you understand what the ordinance says and what options you have available. he basic intent of the ordinance was to protect and preserve the oxistinq lots with cabins on them, and to allow creation of new building sites only on lots of 5 acres or more in area. This Record Lot totals 2.16 acres of dry land (plus 1.25 acres of wetland) and has one cabin on it, so it has been defined as one building site in the ordinance. What makes your land unusual is the related ownership and use patterns that tic together separate parcels owned by three persons: 1. The cabin is located on inland property listed to Mrs. H. R. Nelson. This could be a separate record lot except that access from the lake to the cabin runs thru the Arneson lots. 2. The vacant hillside listed to Victoria Arneson totals about 0.65 acre, which in itself is small to be con- sidered an additional building site. But this is the ideal spot to put up a new cabin to replace the old one on the back lot. This could be considered a separate record lot because of the separate ownership if you want it to be.
