Mansfield, Attorney At Law <br />550 Builders Exchange <br />609 Second Avenue South <br />Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402 <br />Re; Roy Ahern - Big Island Record Lots 15 and 58 <br />Pursuant to RS District Zoning Ordinance No. 246 <br />Dear Mr. Mansfield: <br />This letter is written in response to your letters received August 28, <br />1983, regarding Mr. Ahern and his Big Island properties. <br />Regarding Record Lot #58, we have received and are processing Mr. <br />Ahern's request for an automatic lot area variance for this property <br />that contains his habitable dwelling, including comb)ination of the <br />existing tax parcels irto one parcel for assessment purposes. <br />Regarding Record Lot #!.5: Your letter is the first written notice <br />the City has received which states that Roy Ahern sold portions of <br />what Ordinance #246 det.cribes as record Lot #15 to six separate <br />individuals, and provides any notice to the City who those individuals <br />might be. ^ v <br />At the public hearing held December 30, 1983, Mr. Ahern and Mr. William <br />Crear III stated in the record that Ahern "owns three pieces of <br />property on the island..." and went on to describe record Lot #58 <br />as one piece and record Lot #15 as two, pieces separated by the <br />undeveloped road right of way. Later in the meeting Mr. Ahern then <br />stated he had sold parts of record Lot #15 to six separate individuals, <br />but that he had to sell the six lots at a discount because he felt <br />:hs new ordinance made the lots unbuildable. <br />The interesting thing is that on May 5, 1983, realtor Judy Frommes <br />.called me to say she was representing Mr. Ahern and she was trying <br />to sell these same properties for him. She identified all 6 parts <br />of record Lot #15 including prior platted lots 8, 9, 10, 11, 64 and <br />64 and said she wanted to know the best way to sell and develop <br />them considering the new ordinance which she knew had been adopted. <br />BUILDING & ZONING - 473-7357 <br />ASSESSING <br />ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE - 473-7358 PUBLIC WORKS - 473-7359
