Decembers, 1995 <br />Mr. Michael P. Gaffiron <br />Assistant Plannii^ & Zoning Administrator <br />City of OroDO <br />2750 Kelley Parki^-ay <br />P.O. Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br />Re: Item #2084 <br />1473 Bay Ridge Road <br />Dear Mr. Gafifron: <br />'P <br />\\ <br />‘ *•« <br />“A Hi'. <br />1*^•f,19S6 <br />roUNCILMEEHNG <br />DEC 1 1 1995 <br />crv 0? ORONO <br />I appreciated the Planning Commission's approval of my variance application on November 20, <br />1995, which was subject to “not proceeding with the garage wing addition until/unless municipal <br />sewer becomes available to the property.” <br />I was just apprised yesterday of the possibility that no building permits would be issued imtil (1) <br />a “Septic System Upgrade Agreement ” is executed, (2) a Letter of Credit is provided, and (3) a <br />conforming septic system desiga'tests are provided. In view of the fact that the Bayridge <br />neighborhood is in the “Shoreland ” area, the fact that 8 properU' owners in Bayiidge have <br />unanimously petitioned for municipal sewer and the high probability that municipal sew'er will <br />come to the neighborhood in the very near future, 1 respectfully request that the above items not <br />be required. <br />It is our intent to immediately apply for a building permit to do interior renovation work to the <br />existing home and add the new sunroom addition, before we occupy the property. If the city <br />council determines that the “Septic System Upgrade Agreement ” and Letter of Credit are <br />required now, I will comply. However, to require an alternate septic system (mound system) <br />design would be costly (and probably academic in view of municipal sew er) and the soil <br />percolation tests would be impossible at this time due to frozen ground. <br />Therefore, to delay a building permit until “perc” tests could be done in the spring would be a <br />major hardsliip and we would have to find alternative housing until the remodeling is completed. <br />I believe Steve Weckman and you w ould agree that the large size and flatness of the lot w ould, <br />in all probability, provide an acceptable site for an alternative system, if necessary'. <br />Thanks for your cooperation.
