in i f. April 8, 1986 Orono Planning Commission P.O. Box 66 Crystal Bay, Minnesota* 55323 We would like to confirm our place on the agenda for the Orono Planning Commission meeting which takes place on April 21. 1986. We would like to propose two solutions to the problems that have annoyed the planning commission thus far for the property located at 3598 North Shore Drive ( Lot #9, Block 2, Baldur Park, Hennepin County.) The first problem concerns parking on the property and access to North Shore Drive ( Hwy 51). We propose to build/locate the driveway adjacent to the property owned by Marilyn and Lou Feger. This will give each lot owner the ability to turn around, pull in and pull out with the highest degree of safety and efficiency avail able. This has been verbally agreed to by the Feger's on March 29, 1.986. The second problem concerns the size of the structure that has been proposed. We propose to reduce the size of the structure from the dimensions fo 36' X 24' to 30' X 24'. The new dimensions ( 30'X 24') would result in a new structure that will be built within the old foundation. We propose a 10' right side setback from the Feger property. We propose a 5' left side setback from the property owned by the Minnesota Department of Transportation, (MOOT). This is the most obvious solution since after the foundation is entirely excavated there is going to be a hole left on the property. It would also fit the Planning Council's specificat ons not to build within ten feet of the Feger property line. We ask for the left side setback of 5' from the MDOT property because the MDOT land cannot support a structure { as stated in previous planning council meetings), and that in our building 5' from the property line would not create a fire or structure hazard. The final topic of this letter is a question of the possibility in acquiring the property offered by the Minnesota Department cf Transportation. The property in appearance is smaller than the property we would be building our house on. We have not been contacted a«; to the precise date of sale or method of sale, l.'e have been informed of the price that the MDOT is asking for. We believe that the asking price of $30,000.00 for just one of the lots is absurd. Because of these reasons the purchase of the lot is not a viable alternative to consider. We would welcome your thoughts in considering these proposals and look forward to the April Planning Council meeting. Sincerely Evan Meline Benn Bel den
