r GlTYofORONO Municipal Offices Street Address: 2750 Kelley Parkway Orono, MN 55356 Mailing Address: P.O. Box 66 Crystal Bay. MN 55323-0066 July 31,1997 William J. Yaeger 15694 Sussex Drive Minnetonka, MN 55345 Re: Construction at 310 Big Island (PINS # 23-117-23 32 0028, AKA Lot 64, Morse Island Park) Dear Mr. Yaeger; During an inspection of Big Island on July 30,1997 it was discovered that a new cabin is under construction on the above referenced property. According to Hennepin County Tax Records you are the owner of this property. This construction is in violation of a number of Citj- ordinances, and therefore a STOP WORK order has been posted on the building. This building must be removed and the site restored no later than September 1,1997. The construction of this cabin is a violation of City ordinances for a variety of reasons, including but not necessarily limited to the following: 1.A building permit is required for construction of this building. No building permit has been applied for, and none has been issued. 2.The building is located less than 7o' from the shoreline where no construction or hardcover is allowed per City Ordinances. 3.The property in question is not considered by the City as a buildable lot except in conjunction with 5 additional tax parcels (23-117-23 32 0029; 23-117-23 32 0046; 23-117-23 32 0047; 23-117-23 32 0048; and 23-117-23 32 0049) w'hich in combination with your parcel constitute Record Lot # 15 per City of Orono Ordinance #246 adopted December 30, 1982. 4.Your property as a separate tax parcel has not been granted the necessary lot area variance which would be required for it to be buildable. The issues surrounding the buildability of this parcel date back to 1982-83 and likely will not be easily resolved due to the many property owners involved.
