Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, Minnesota <br />FEB 2 3 <br />• • • <br />55323 <br />RE: MARGARET & DAVID VERGEYLE PROPOSAL, TANAGER LAKE (27-141P), <br />CITY OF ORONO, HENNEPIN COUNTY <br />Dear Ms. Mabusth: <br />I met with Margaret Vergeyle and her architect on February 17, <br />1994. We reviewed the proposed residence construction plan for the <br />lot at 1485 Green Trees Road. The proposed plan does impact a <br />bluff and would definitely not meet the City of Orono's current <br />bluff setback requirements. As we discussed on the telephone on <br />February 17, 1994, I advised Ms. Vergeyle that they would have to <br />obtain a variance from the City. <br />After reviewing the shape of the lot, topography and city <br />requirements for setbacks and drain fields, I would say that the <br />property has unique limitations. Therefore, we would not object to <br />the City granting a variance to the bluff setback on the following <br />conditions: <br />1. The design of the structure and bluff alterations must be <br />reviewed and approved by a registered structural or soils <br />engineer. This review must consider the stability of the <br />structure and appropriate design to minimize erosion in the <br />altered area during and after construction. <br />2. Vegetation and appropriate coloring shall be used to blend in <br />the alterations with the natural character of the bluff area. <br />Please contact me at 772-7910 should you have further questions <br />regarding this matter. <br />Cincerely, <br />Ceil Strauss <br />Area Hydrologist <br />c: City of Orono Shoreland file <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
