April 22, 1988 <br />Vo <br />City of Orono <br />P. O. Box 66 <br />Crystal Pay, Minnesota 55323 <br />Dear Planning Commission/City Council: <br />This letter is to state my request for a variance to build a deck onto my home on <br />Forest Lake. <br />My situation is unique in that the house to the East of me is set back quite close to <br />the road and if I build the deck that I have planned. the Planning Administrator for <br />the City of Orono feels that it will interfere with John Gro►—i's view of a small <br />portion of the lake. His overall view of the lake will be unobstructed except for a <br />small portion of water on the Southwest corner of the lake. I have reviewed my <br />deck plans with Mr. Grotan and he feels that it will not interfere in any way with his <br />view of the lake or his enjoyment of it and will not negatively affect the val le of h-s <br />property (see attached setter). My adjacent neighbor to the West of me will virtually <br />be unable to see the deck from his property because of the relationship of my house <br />to his and the trees that separate our properties (see attached letter). <br />Additionally, I have a hardship in thai it is not feasible or legal to build a deck <br />anywhere else on the property. <br />Other then the Average Lakeshore Setback provision (if the building code, the deck <br />meets all requirements for lot size, hardcover prov;sions, and all other setback <br />requirements. <br />Thank you for your consideration in this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ronald M.
