Minnesota Department of Health Division of Environmental Health 925 Delaware Street Southeast P.O. Box 59040 Minneapolis. MN 55459-0040 (612) 627-5100 rjUC 6 July 2. 1993 Mr. Mike Gaffron City of Orono P.O. Box 66 Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 This is in regard to your telephone conversation with Mr. James Nye concerning granting a single project variance for the city of Orono municipal project at Stubbs Bay. The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) will consider a single project variance if controls and responsibilities can be worked out to administer the variance. The MDH would suggest the following procedures to facilitate the project: 1.Recommend that the city incorporate an agreement in the variance request that authorizes the city to act on behalf of the property owner for the purposes of the variance. The agreement does not need to be elaborate, and should be as simple as possible. 2.The variance approval, if granted, should clearly identify the city of Orono as the entity responsible for insuring compliance with the conditions of the variance. 3.All relevant historical information related to this project should be incl-uded in the variance approval. This will document the conditions under which the variance was approved. A 4.In addition, the MDH legal staff suggests that we consider making the variance recordable with the property deed. Both the MDH and the city of Orono need to consider what might happen if a property sells between the time of the variance request and approval. We would be pleased to work with you on this matter. Please coordinate with Mr. Nye on this matter, or if you have any questions, please contact Mr. Nye at 612/627-5154. Sincerely, c / Daniel A.
