Minncaota 55323 • Municipal OfTicea On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka October 21, 1982 Mr. James Van Valkenburg Thomsen, Nybeck, Johnson, Bouquet, & Van Valkenburg Suite 102 7250 France Avenue South Edina, MN 55435 Re: Ski Tonka letter 10-13-82 Dear Mr. Van Valkenburg: This morning I received your letter dated 10-13-82 regarding the Primus property formerly known as Ski Tonka. The City has over the last 4-5 years had several informal inquiries concerning subdivision of the "Ski Tonka" property. We had not had any formal application made. The City staff has in the case of each such inquiry informed the parties that any new subdivision must account for all commonly-owned properties. The minimum lot size is 5 acres per dwelling in that zone. New subdivisions will not be approved that create or except-out new lots of less than 5 acres. The property at 4520 Bayside Road (Gove?) has never been legally subdivided from the single large 40 acre parcel, P.I.D. 31-118-23 34 0001. Division of the large parcel must therefore Include 5 acres for this residence. The property at 4740 Bayside Road (Dunn) is a separate tax parcel, but. oS you note was owned in common by Primus. There is also some question as to the location of the septic system drainfield for this house as it may in fact be on the larger Primus property. Any subdivision application for the larger parcel must address this common ownership situation as well as the practical drainfield problems. I hope the above answers your questions. As always, our staff is ready to meet and discuss any plans for subdivision you or your clients may have. cc: Bruce D. Malkerson, City Attorney Jeanne A. Mabusth, Zoning Admn.
