Minnesota SS402 <br />Re: City of Orono - Application for Building Pemut: <br />Lot 1, TIIlson*s Villa Carman Addition <br />Dear Mr. Cloutier <br />Thank you for your letter of April 12. 1995; I have discussed it with Jeanne Mabusth <br />at the Orono City offices, and I wanted to offer you this reply. <br />Your son has made application for a Building Permit on Lot 1, Tillson ’s Villa Carman <br />Addition and the City has responded that a precondition to the permit is a Type I subdivision <br />which would allow you to treat Lot 1 as a freestanding lot The City is willing to allow you <br />to subdivide the area described as Lot 1, but it has raised the cautionary note that if you do <br />so without attention to the remaining areas, which you call Lots 3, 4 and Outlot 1, that you <br />will find it difficult to further subdivide that area. It is the City ’s recommendation that you <br />consider the entire area of Lots 1, 3, 4 and Outlot 1 for subdivision at this time. <br />Your response is a legal argument which is essentially this: the effect of the lot <br />combination which you requested on Lots 1. 3, 4 and OuUot 1. and which the City approved, <br />left the lots subdivided for zoning and planning purposes and therefore able to be <br />independently developed without further subdivision. The City ’s position is that a legal lot <br />combination has the effect of ending the separate legal status of any lots so combined, and <br />that separate development of the lots requires subdivision under its code. <br />1 have reviewed the language of Orono ’s zoning code at 10.25, subd. (6)(b) and <br />subd. (6)(a)(l). 1 believe that the language speaks to an existing lot of record, and our <br />0S2/220794SI 4/2(V9S
