Seatlev <br />DjC_jiists <br />OP <br />'AUG 1 5 1990 <br />July 31, 1990 <br />Mr. Mark Bernhardson <br />City Administrator, Orono <br />Orono City Offices <br />1335 S Brown Rd. <br />Wayzata, MN 55391 <br />Dear Mark, <br />I am writing to clarify a couple of items regarding the <br />relationship be" :en the Freshwater Foundation and the <br />University of M^r.r.sccta' s Gray Freshwater Eiclcgical <br />Institute as it might relate to the land subdivision <br />proposed by Ted Blanch. <br />In 1987 the Freshwater Foundation sold the land it owned <br />bounded by County Road 15, 19, Old Beach Road and Lake <br />Minnetonka, to Ted Blanch. The Foundation had previously <br />given approximately five acres to the University of <br />Minnesota, including the Gray Freshwater Biological <br />Institute (You may recall that the gift to the <br />University was made in 1976, but that the deed was not <br />recorded. The final conveyance of the land and the <br />recording of the deed took place only recently after I <br />appeared before the City of Orono to clean up the legal <br />description that allowed for the final conveyance to the <br />University of Minnesota.) Also in 1987, Mr. Blanch made <br />a commitment to convey back to the Freshwater Foundation <br />a portion of the land which he had just purchased from <br />us. <br />Mr. Blanch has now put before the Cities of Orono and <br />Minnetonka Beach his proposed subdivision. Per his <br />plan. Lot 8 (approximately 2.75 acres) will be given to <br />the Frcr.hvcter r-L.ndav:io:i. in compliance wirn rne <br />agreement made in 1987. This Lot 8 corresponds with <br />the land that was previously zoned by the Cit^- of Orono <br />for office purposes. At the time that the zoning was <br />sought by the Freshwater Foundation it was anticipated <br />that a residential component would be added to the <br />Institute to provide temporary housing for visiting <br />scientists and students. At this point, no such <br />construction is anticipated or planned. The Foundation <br />is currently contemplating the sale of the property at <br />some future date, or perhaps building an office facility <br />for its use. It is not anticipated that Lot 8 would <br />be conveyed to the University of Minnesota for any use <br />associated with the Gray Freshwater Biological <br />Institute. <br />K Puhlii Niinprulll Fiiundilion <br />( unlrihuliiinv ^rr l(v-l>rduiiihlr <br />printfd tin Hti ini f'apri
