C. C. BERG. M.D. P.A. 3N OAK STREET EXCELSIOR. MINNESOTA 55131 ant". -i, Orono alanning Commission sono, Minn. Res Request for zoning variance Gen t 1 emen s I ovm approximately 16 acres of land in the Village , at the northwest corner of the intersection of Bayside Road and County Road 1.35. On this property is a 30 year old homes 4080 Bayside Road. Mr. and Mrs. Kim Hanner, residents of Orono, wish to buy this home for a price of $31500 including one acre of land. I,therefore, submitted a request for a zoning variance on that basis with the following justifications: 1. The home is located directly on and facing Bayside Road and Is bordered on the West by a deep ravine and on the North and East by very steep hillss, leaving approximately 2/3 of an acre of land suitable nor a yap] around the home. 2. A home in this price range purchased with more than 1 acre of land in this particular area will result in a markedly dispro- portianate investment in land for a homestead. 3. The home is 30 years old and was never built with the intention of being part of a hobby faun or small estate. In spite of the above reason.:. at a Commission meeting several months ago I was led to believe that this request would be refused. I. there- fore withdrew the request and am, at this time, submitting a new re- quest for a zoning variance w}.Ich wi:l permit me to sell this horne with approximately 2.4 acres as shown on the accompanying Survey. This Survey also shows *he approximate location of a 20 foot easement which will pro- vide read access to the remainder of the rroperty. I have previously submitted the required fee and a topographic survey of the land adjacent to the home. If you desire any further information, I will do my best to provide such. Thank you for yoouur� consideration in this matter* i �nnC. rg
