CITY of ORONO <br />Municipal OfTices <br />Street Address: <br />2750 Kelley Parkway <br />Orono. MN 55356 <br />Mailing Address: <br />P 0. Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55322 C066 <br />Mr. Patrick Wolfe <br />2871 Casco Point Road <br />Wavzata, Minnesota 55391 <br />Rc: Zoning Application #1895 <br />Dear Mr. Wolfe: <br />I have completed a preliminary review of your after-the-fact application for variances to <br />co^^i^ct a7accessory structure (10’xl2* shed) on your property. The certificate of survey by <br />Otto Associates which you provided contains a wealth of information which leads me to ma e <br />the following comments: <br />• The survev is extremely misleading, showing a dark line boundary that does not <br />match the legal boundary of your property. No addendum was provided by you <br />or your surveyor to explain the format of this survey. <br />• The shed is clearly not within your property boundaries, but within the right-of- <br />wav of Carman Avenue. <br />. The survev suegests a "nroDosed" change to your legal description which would <br />place the shed"'approxin,...,-,> 4’ within your property. However you have not <br />anplied for a vacation a portion of Carman Avenue, and if you did so. the City <br />would undoubtedly deny such a vacation given the DNR's cons stent opposition <br />to such proposals which reduce public access to lakes, and given the City s use <br />of the right-of-way as a public beach area. <br />. A site inspection reveals that the shed is approximately S^rom >he nomal <br />Shoreline (not 12'-14’ as survey shows), and obviously within 75 of <br />wtre no strSimres or hardcover are allowed. Your surveyor did not idetit.fy the <br />929.4’ elevation contour which is required by the City for all surveys abutting <br />Lake Minnetonka. <br />. The survey shows and site inspection verifies that your recent landscapmg has <br />encroached onto the 60’ City right-of-way by as much as 20’. <br />Telephone (612) 473-7.X57 • FAX 473-0510
