r <br />s <br />July 5, 1996 JUL e jnr>f^r <br />%* I'* <br />Dear Jean: <br />I hope your 4th of July weekend was very enjoyable! <br />There are a couple of things I wanted to mention before the planning commision <br />viewed my property and made a decision regarding my proposed addition. <br />i <br />1) I have requested permission to build a screen porch that would extend 12 feet <br />from my existing structure with an open walk-out terrace above. If 12 feet is <br />not a permissable number, what would be (for example 11 feet, 10 feet, 9 feet, etc.)? <br />2) If I were to build a standard size 2 car garage, would there be enough percentage <br />of hardcover remaining to build the above mentioned porch/terrace? If so, how much? <br />3) Both neighbors on either side of my property have existing garages positioned <br />directly on the property lines. If I were to build a garage, how close to the <br />property line would I be allowed to build? <br />4) Is the play house/tree house next to John Sterne's garage and adjacent to <br />my property built and positioned according to current ordinances and setbacks? <br />My neighbor, John Sterne, is very concerned with everything I have considered <br />doing w V' respect to my home and property since before I even moved in. He was <br />quite t ' -py with a row of trees I planted between our properties (for privacy) <br />and is concerned they will interfere with his view through my property if I do <br />not keep them trimmed as they mature. Naturally, he has expressed his opposition <br />to my proposed screen porch. <br />I believe John Sterne should have purchased they property I now own when it was <br />for sale last fall if the view across and through my property is of such great <br />importance to him and to the perceived value of his own home and his view of the <br />lake. He may still have the opportunity! <br />Once again, thank you Jean. You have been a pleasure to work with. Please feel <br />free to call me at home or at work. <br />2811 Casco Point Road <br />Orono, MN 55391 <br />371-1400 Business <br />471-9073 Home <br />/tn
