Leonard Niska <br />2304 Shadywood Road <br />Wayzata, MN 55391 <br />CfTYOFCRC.'K) <br />^ rr=* <br />September 11, 1992 <br />City Council <br />City of Orono <br />Crystal Bay, MN <br />SEP 1 5 1992 <br />To the Council: <br />Last May, I began my attempts to get a building permit to remove my <br />existing garage and build a replacement. Tha garage I wanted to <br />replace was sitting on the road right-a-«ay and pi.?t on my neighbor's <br />property. It was also built without ai.y foundatic and being held up <br />only because it was leaning against a tree. The city office informed <br />me that I would need a survey and probably a variance. Coffin and <br />Gronberg took three weeks to do the survey. They finshed the survey <br />on the date of the June deadline date for the July meeting, ^his <br />survey showed lot line problems that caused problems with my initial <br />plans. This item was tabled at the July meeting because of the lot <br />line problem. I had a two week business trip from June 27 to July <br />14. Because the survey was so slow and my trip came at an inopportune <br />time, I had no time to change anything before the July meeting. I <br />looked into moving the lot lines, but this was too expensive and too <br />much of a hassle. I decided to put up just a shed on the other side <br />of the house. I was unable to get the survey drawing updated to make <br />the July deadline for the August meeting. Again the Survey company <br />took three weeks to do a 30-minute job. <br />I work full time and take college classes parttime. I took the summer <br />off from my classes so I could get the shed built and my house <br />cleaned up. I am planning to sell my house and wanted to clean it up <br />a little. I needed the storage to put some things from the house. My <br />classes begin again at the end of September. I was finally able to <br />get the finalized plan in to the city to make the August deadline for <br />the September meeting. If I would have waited until after September <br />21 to start the shed, I would have a much more difficult: time to get <br />done before starting class and before winter. <br />The shed is a Menards building. The city has a copy of the building <br />plans. The shed is setting on a couple inches of crushed <br />limestone.(3/4's and smaller) The building is moveab)e. (If it has to <br />be moved for setback variance.) <br />I decided to go ahead and build and complete the permit paper work as <br />the city's schedule permitted. <br />Sincerely, <br />Leonard 0.
