i. <br />k: <br />Mr. Bruce C. Douglas <br />Page 3 <br />Keep^in mind that the residential use of our property <br />existed before any marina operations (Chaska's, North <br />Star's or others before that). Our property was rezoned <br />to commercial use over the objections of our parents <br />several years ago; we are now dealing with that legacy. <br />We dispute your statement that good fences make good <br />neighbors. Good fences are merely reminders to those <br />who need something obvious that says keep out. <br />Cone!usion: <br />1 ADoropriate fencing and screening and control of Marina <br />employees and customers have been discussed at length at <br />oast marina committee and council meetings and with Mr. <br />Dunn (as well as with Mr. Pauley when he was involved). <br />Th«e are the marina's responsibility. If there were not <br />marina operations on both sides of us, the necessity of <br />screening, fencing, and customer control wou.d be a dead <br />issue. <br />7 We are opposed to a variance request that would decrease <br />the prescribed side setbacks, either on the land or in the <br />water. <br />3 We will not consider any changes to accommodate joint v/ater- <br />front use; that could only lead to more encroachment. <br />d We onlv ask that the marina and its personnel operate in a <br />manner (and within the law) that does not infringe on the <br />enjoyment of our property. And when infringement occurs, <br />it will be met with appropriate action. Frankly, we re <br />tired of talking. <br />If you would like to discuss our comments prior to the August 19 <br />meeting, feel free to call. <br />Sincerely, <br />Marcia Schoeneman <br />6731 4th Avenue South <br />Richfield, Minnesota 55423 <br />Home phine: 869-1093 <br />Work phone: 296-3495 <br />cc: <br />- - - - - <br />Sandra Ramberg <br />5108 Woodlawn Blvd. <br />Minneapolis, Minnesota 55417 <br />Home phone: 724-‘*i22 <br />Jean MabustlO Orb no MJMUlrTommi ttee <br />Orono City Council
