MN 55323 DEAR MS'. MABUSTH . IN RESPONSE TO YOUR COMMUNICATION OF 11-16-92 REGARDING PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION ON CONTROL NO. 715 MAY I COMMENT. MR, ALVIN T. BALGAARD CONTACTED ME A CCUPLE OF YEARS AGO ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF ADDING A PORTION OF LOT 28 TO THE PARCEL OF REAL ESTATE HE OWNS ACROSS HIGHWAY 84. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE HAD DISSCUSSED THE MATTER WIT►1 THE CITY OF ORONO AND THEY HAD SEEN NO REASON WHY THE TRANSFER COULD NOT BE MADE. ON THAT BASIS EXAMINATION OF ZONI UNG ORANCES . SURVEYS, PLAT DESCRIPTIONS, CONSULTATION WITH YOUR OFFICE AND THE HENN . CO. GOV. CENTER. ETC. HAVE BEEN MADE IN AN EFFORT TO MEET BALGAARDS WISH'. IT PUZZLES ME HOW THIS CAN BE SUCH A "UNIIUE" CASE. TO ADDRESS ANOTHER IMPLICATION IN YOUR COMMUNICATION THE NORTH END OF ITEM "B" IN THE COFFIN SURVEY PUTS IT OPPOSITE THE BALGAARD DRIVEWAY WHICH IS THE MOST DIRECT ROUTE FROM HIS RESIDENCE. TO LAKE MI NNETONKA'. THE 200 FOOT SHORE LINE STIPULATION WA3CHECKED BY THE SURVEYOR AND FOUND TO BE MORE THAN THAT. ONLY TO BE TOLD AT THE MEETING THAT "STRAIGHT" LINE MEASUREMENTS APPLY RATHER THAN THE "DOG LEG" NATURE OF THE SHORE LINE . ANOTHER IMPLICATION - THAT THESHORE LINE, OPPOSITE THE BALGAARD PROPER- TY BE INCLUDED IN ITEM "B". SUCH AN ORER JOULD IN EFFECT DENY THE OWNWER OF THE REMAINING PARCEL "A " F ESONABLE ACCESS TO LAKE MI NNETONKA . MR BALGAARD EXPLAINEDTO ME THAT HAVING IHE PARCEL "B" ADDED TO HIS PROPERTY WOULD INCREASE IIS VALUE. HE IS NOT ALONE IN THAT ASSESSM ENT'. THE TAXES ON LOT 28 HAVE GONE UP 2980/6 SINCE HE BEGAN NEGOTIATIONS. I HOPE THE PLANNING COMMISSION CAN FIND SOME wA;VGRANT HISWISH. 75 VERY TRULY YOURS . V .E . NOR TON
