August 26, 1993 /) Ms. Jeanne Mabusth Building and Zoning Administrator City of Orono P.O. Box 66 Crystal Bay. MN 55323 l_ fle: Conditional Use Permit Application 3599 Livingston Avenue Dear Ms. Mabusth: This letter is written on behalf of Mrs. Zelma McKinney, property owner and resident of 3599 Livings'on Avenue. The above referenced property was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Harvey McKinney in May of 1962 as their sole residence. At the time of purchase, the house was divided for use as a triplex, utilizing the 2nd story, first level and walk out basement as separate units. The house has been used as an owner-occupied rental property continuously since shortly after date of acquisition. The 2nd level apartmerit has seldom been vacant for longer than the turn around time necessary for cleaning and repairs. The lower unit has occasionally been vacant for a month or so, and is currently not occupied. Going forward, it is the intention of Mrs. McKinney to continue to rent the 2nd level unit and occupy the first level, until such time as she is ready to sell the property. The ability to sell this property for its full value is dependent on obtaining a conditional use permit which would allrw future owners the right to continue the use as owner-occupied rental properly. Since purchase in *962, many physical improvements have been made to the subject property to retain the value of the asset and to enhance thi image of the neighborhood. Granting of the requested conditional use permit will be an acknowledgement of Mrs. McKinney's contributions as a responsible homeowner and taxpayer. A list of the requested attachments is enclossd as are all of the documents relevant to consideration of this request. Please feel free to contact me if there are questions on any of the submittals. Thank you for your time Sincerely. / Gjyle^WcKinney SSsgler Homophone: 439 - 6124 Work Phono: 786 - 9705 1410 Meadowlark Drive Stillwater, Minrwsota 55082
