MN 55323-0066 P I Mr. Patrick Wolfe 2871 Casco Point Road Wayzau. Minnesou 55391 Re: Zonii^ Applicatioii #1895 Dear Mr. Wolfe: I have completed a pteliminary review of your after-the-fact application for variances to construct an accessory structure (10 x12’ shed) on your property. The Ono Associates which you provided contains a wealth of information wluch leads me to make the following comments: • The survey is exneroely mUleading, showing a dark line boundary that does not n...ch the legal boundary of your property. No addendum was ptovtded by you or your surveyor to expliin the format of this survey. • The shed is clearly not within your property boundaries, but within the right-of- way oi Connan Avenue. • The survey suggests a "proposed" change to your legal description which would place the shed approximately 4’ within your property. However, you have riot applied for a vacation of a portion of Carman Avenue, and if you did so. the City would undoubtedly deny such a vacation given the DNR’s consistent opptMition to such proposals which reduce public access to lakes, and given the City ’s use of the right-of-way as a public beach area. • A site inspection reveals that the shed is approximately 8 ^ norn^ shoreline (not 12’-14* as survey shows), and obviously within 75’ of the lake where no structures or hardcover are allowed. Your surveyor did not identify the 929.4’ elevation contour which is required by the City for all surveys abucung Lake Minnetonka. 0 "pjig survey shows and site inspection verifies that your recent landscaping has encroached onto the 60’ City right-of-way by as much as 20'.
