19 Heritage Drive <br />Wayzata, Minnesota 55391 <br />Novembc. 15, 1984 <br />Orono Council <br />Orono City Hall <br />1335 Brown Road South <br />Wayzata, Minnesota 55391 <br />SUBJECT: Proposed Bed and Breakfast Business <br />1900 Shoreline Drive ("The Kaul House") <br />Dear Members of the Council: <br />I am in receipt of various documents pertaining to the above <br />named proposal being made by Tom and Kristi Kaul. The pur- <br />pose of this letter is to formally respond to this proposal. <br />STATEMENT: As owners of the property located at 1950 Heritage, <br />my wife and I are commited in our opposition to this proposal. <br />While we would gladly consider any "new" facts as well as <br />attempts by the Kauls to meet any specific concerns we might <br />have regarding details of renovation or operation, our opp- <br />osition centers on the principle of the proposal. <br />DISCUSSION: So that the Council and the Kauls have the <br />opportunity to understand the nature of our opposition, we <br />list below several issues that are important to us: <br />1. We purchased our property in reliance of Orono's zoning <br />laws as they govern our neighborhood and the protection they <br />provide over our property values. In accordance with this <br />reliance, we undertook a two year project to make ,ubstan*ial <br />improvements to oui property. (For the same reason we also op- <br />posed the request by the Andersons to sub -divide tneir property, <br />creating a sub -standard lot). <br />In granting the Kaul proposal, the Council would :learly <br />be submitting other property owners to the risk of lower <br />property values. It is inconceivable that a "BbB" would <br />have anything other than a negative impact on the value of <br />other properties. This is simply a risk we should not be <br />asked to take. <br />more ... <br />
