i ^ <br />t <br />K <br />}k: <br />VAN EECKHOUT ENGINEERING SERVICES <br />120 South Brown Road <br />Long Lake, MN 55356 <br />Ci* I of Orono 952-473*0825 <br />Mayor Jabbor, City Council and City Staff <br />Re; Application #2550 <br />Thank you for the opportunity to discuss my application #2500 at the City offices yesterday <br />Dec 14,2000.1 requested the meeting to review some options and 1 appreciate your willingness <br />to review this matter. <br />So that 1 might verify that we came away with the same general conclusions I would like to <br />summarize my thoughts on what was discussed (and a couple of things not discussed) <br />Attending were Mayor Jabbore, Ron Morse, Mike Gaffron and Paul Winbergcr and the <br />undesigned. <br />Problems; <br />1) The City seems to prefer 6 Lots on the 14 acres of “high buildable” rather than the 7 lots in <br />the application. <br />2) The City has stated a preference to exit the project off Brown Road rather that off Apple Glen <br />Road which seems to be very unpopular with the residents of Apple Glen. The City of Orono is <br />very concerned not to support any actions that would be viewed as offensive by the City of <br />Long Lake that could damage the spirit of cooperation that is currently in place between the two <br />Cities. <br />The City of Orono has the opinion that the present driveway easement is inadequate to serve a <br />seven lot subdivision. The owner of the easement has refused to sign any of 3 separate purchase <br />agreements, to expand the permitted use,that have been submitted to him and even though he <br />promised to do so. He has never made any offers or counteroffers to my purchase offers. <br />3) It appears that it will be quite difficult to obtain permission from Long Lake to Access Apple <br />Glen Road and access the sewer at the end of Apple Glen. <br />4) It seems unlikely that all parties will agree to the application in it’s current form and It is <br />important to me and I am sure the others involved that every effort should be make to achieve a <br />result that can be widely supported. <br />I therefore make the following requests of the City council; <br />1) That the application be tabled so that a proposed modification can be presented to the <br />Planning commission which after their review can be considered by the city council. If the <br />proposed modification is supported by the Planning commission and council I would then agree <br />to modify my application #2500 to be consistent the proposed modification.
