Telephone 473.7357 f I <br />September 8, 1983 <br />Mr. Ronald Potas <br />2032 Shadywood Road <br />Wayzata, Minnesota <br />Dear Mr. Potas: <br />CITY of ORONO <br />Pont Office Boa 66•Crystal Bay. Minnesota b5323•Municipal Offices <br />On the North Shore o/ Lake Minnetonka <br />55391 <br />Upon your complaint and City 'inspection, Mr. Lloyd Nehring was <br />tagged for a public nuisance, Orono City Code (82.010) allowing <br />accumulation of manure; public nuisance State Statute (601.74(l), <br />allowing a public nuisance. <br />After extensive negotiations regarding this matter and after numerous <br />rescheduling of the preliminary conference, it was agreed to <br />resolve the matter by stipulation, which is attached for your <br />information. The disposition was based upon the overall factual <br />background of the case and the difficulities of proving a nuisance <br />at a trial simply because feeding ducks per se does not constitute <br />a nuisance. The City cannot totally banck feeding under its <br />current ordinances and State law and is not prepared to do so at this <br />time. <br />Ron, I understand your frustration with the desposition of the matter <br />but it is important for you to realize that the City received only <br />one complaint which was from you, a neighbor six homes away, from the <br />defendants residence. ' <br />In review of the complaint and our inspections, the City is not <br />prepared to spend taxpayers money on further action unless a violation <br />of the stipulation causes a contempt of court action. <br />Sincerely, <br />altJeR4 . B son <br />Cityministrator <br />Enclosure <br />
