O A O <br />DATE <br />CITY OF ORONO <br />JIM OGLAND, Property o%mer <br />STORAGE SHED, PERMIT, EASEMENT, ETC. 3345 CRYSTAL <br />BAY ROAD <br />Auqust 23, 1994 <br />DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: Allow existing storage shed to part­ <br />ially sit on "Hillside Place" (a twenty five foot wooded, <br />unused fire access lane) sandwiched between two residential <br />houses. <br />Give consideration to granting permission, by means of a <br />"permit or easement," to allow the shed to remain as is in its <br />present location. <br />BUILDING PERMIT: When this shed was built (1991) I contacted <br />the City of Orono and was told that a Building Permit was not <br />needed for an accessory building (shed) that was under 120 <br />square feet. This storage shed is under 100 square feet. Instead <br />of putting up a Menard/Knox type barn shed I decided on a shed <br />that was more attractive and seemed to better fit the character <br />of the house, etc. <br />FIRELANE: This adjacent parcel was originally platted as an <br />access for fire equipment to get to the lake. It has never <br />been developed or used as such and has been maintained as yard <br />by the adjacent property owners for over 80 years. In earlier <br />discussions with Public Works Director John Gerhardson, (who <br />was met with on site twice) has indicated no objection to <br />vacating this parcel nor objections to an easement regarding <br />the shed. The shed is mobile and could be moved at such time <br />as might be needed to work on the sewer or if the railroad were <br />to request it be removed from their right-of-way. <br />HARDSHIP: The only possible location for a shed on the property <br />is this corner of the lot. For many years there was an outhouse <br />on this very spot. It was followed in the fifties by a storage <br />area for fireplace wood and a fishhouse. <br />The lot and house are small, and additional storage space is <br />desperately needed to store lawn and garden equipment, bicycles, <br />outboard motors, lake and dock equipment, tools, etc. <br />The terrain is quite steep and as a result, there is a large <br />rock retaining wall (three or four foot high) on this rear corner <br />of the property. It is also the Northern boundary line for the <br />Dakota Railroad track. <br />”1 ‘•'"A \W'.;i ^ <br />continued
