I{x ^ V 3 March 1 IIyJ v � D I,! City of Orono �✓ P.O. Box 66 I Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 Attention: John R. Gerhardson r Re: 1950 Shoreline Drive /\ Orono, Minnesota \l) Dear Mr. Gerhardson:" - I have been retained by Gerald Toberman to respond to the resolution passed by the City of Orono on October 26, 1987, and to answer staff's follow-up correspondence in this regard. This correspondence will also serve to negate the January 11, 1988, letter sent to the City of Orono by Venl Larsen, property manager for Mr. Toberman. Mr. Larsen and Mr. Toberman were operating under an incorrect assumption of facts and law when the January 11, 1988; correspondence was prepared. Mr. Toberman specifically denies that the two cabins on the property at 1950 Shoreline Drive are in a hazardous or dangerous condition. There is no health hazard and there is no seepage or leaking from the sewage tanks used by the cabins. With regard to the other alleged repairs that are necessary to bring the cabins into habitable condition, Mr. Toberman intends to have someone inspect the structures and he intends to place them into habitable condltiur. The Stipulatlun entered into by the previous homeowner end the City of Orono did call for the hook-up of two sewer units to the main structure on the property. The agreement, however, did not indicate that the cabins would be destroyed, nor did it contemplate that they would cease to be used for rental units. Quite the contrary, the cabins remain non -conforming struc-ures and, so long they can be used in a safe and healthy manner, the property owner must be permitted to use them.
