Box 66 <br />Cryetal Bay, Minnesota 55323 <br />RE: LAND USE APPLICATIONS, CITY OF ORONO, HENNEPIN COUNTY <br />Dear Mr. Gaffron: <br />I have comments on the following land use applications. <br />#1895. Pat Wolfe. 2871 Caaeo Point Road (27-133-11). The applicant <br />requests after-the-fact hardcover, average lakeshore setback and <br />lake setback variances for the reconstruction of a shed. DNR Metro <br />Waters recommends that the city dfiDY the variance requests as they <br />are currently proposed. There are many alternate locations on the <br />lot where the shed would be able to meet the city's setback <br />requirements. We also question whether hardship exists. <br />#1965- Gustafson Design on behalf of James Lear. 2525 Dunwoodv <br />Avenue ^27-133-11. Soring Park BavK The applicant requests <br />approval of a conditional use permit and variance for grading and <br />construction of retaining walls within the 0-75' lakeshore setback. <br />We understand that there is an existing erosion problem and that a <br />replacement wall of some type is required, we do not object to the <br />city approving retaining wall work at this location as long as: the <br />city engineer agrees that the design is structurally sound and will <br />prevent erosion problems, disturbance of the existing trees and <br />vegetation in the lakeshore area is minimized, and any shoreline <br />riprapping is done in accordance with the rules of the Minnehaha <br />Creek Watershed District and the DNR conditions for not requiring <br />a permit. <br />#1968. Keith and Vivian Banoert. 3500 Bavside Road.—PIP Q5rll7~2.1 <br />13 0Q15. ^27-133-23. Stubbs Bav>. The applicants request several <br />variances for construction of a driveway and single family <br />residence. DNR Metro Waters recommends that the city dsny the <br />variance requests as they are currently proposed. In particular, <br />we are concerned about the proposed driveway off of CR 84 (Bayside <br />Road) which would require considerable grading and vegetation <br />removal on a bluff. Further, it is our understanding that even if <br />the proposed extensive alterations to the existing bluff were <br />allowed, the applicants would still have a marginal access based on <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
