Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 0066 <br />March 22, 1994 <br />Mr. James Touve <br />1440 Sumter Avenue North <br />Golden Valley, Minnesota 55427 <br />Re: Property on North Shore Drive <br />Dear Mr. Touve: <br />After our discussion on Febtuaiy 25th I again reviewed the background on Lots 55 through 61. <br />Highwood Lake Minnetonka. <br />The issue of your sale of Lots 55 and 56 .to the Olsens without including Lot 57, e^n though <br />all three lots had been legally combined for many years, has never been resolved. This is stUl <br />considered an Ulegal subdivision and it is still the City’s position that permits cannot be issued <br />for the Olsen property until the matter is resolved. <br />Your two choices for resolving the matter are: <br />A. Sale of Lot 57 to the Olsens; or <br />B. Successfully complete subdivision to legally separate Lot 57 from Lots 55 and 56. <br />From our discussion, it is clearly your mtent to not sell Lot 57 to the Olsens, but combme it <br />ith Lots 58-59-60-61 and build a house to the rear of the wetland. This presents a number otW1 <br />issues: <br />1.A Class I "metes and bounds" subdivision is required to separate Lot 57 from <br />Lots 55-56. <br />2. This would leave the remaining Olsen parcel as a subs^dard lot, being orfy 0.58 <br />acres in a 1 acre zone, whereas the existing combination of Lots 55-56-57 yields <br />0.80 acres meeting the "80% of 1 acre" rule for buildability in the LR-IB zone. <br />Telephone (612) 473-7357 • FAX 473-0510 <br />tS
