TO: Orono Cite Council. FROM: James R. Grady DATE: April 8, 1985 RE: 3393 Crystal Bay Road, Orono. MN: Parkin; Area and Ha ,ver History My name is Jim Crady. current residence is in Mound, where my wife Gayle and myself have owned our home since Novmeber, 1967. However, from Janu- ary, 1960, through October, 1967, my family and I lived at 3385 Crystal Bay Road, Orono. We rented the property. The property immediately ad- joining to the west (330 fal Bay Road) was at that time owned and occupied by Mr Scott b.'h. Subsequent to my departure as a ren' if the house at 3385, someti� the 1970's, Mr. Whitnah sold the east- i,, 50 foot parcel of his proper to 111r. and Mrs. Phil Gress, who built the home that Mr. and Mr- Karl Johnson now own and reside at. This property became 3393 Crystal v Road. Because of my long, -term proximity to these properties, I am very familiar with the parking and •-irdcover history that prevailed on the Whitnah property. While I lived at 3385, the Whitnall Droperty (at 3399) had a frames'. -wood stairway t`�at ran uphill towards the east sicc of his house from in frci►.. of (south -nd) and along the west side of his parking area. After `e Gross house was b>>ilt, the stairway remained, only now it been at � xi- mately along the north -south pronerty line dividing V.'`nah propert-, tom Gross property. Pr;c+r to selling the property to Cross, 'Whitnah hac: -,ise,' at least 112 of the front part c` that property for hic parking area. After s; Iling the property, he , :d tl.•2 area in front of the staircase (nortL of the staircase) that. rer, :ned on hi: properly. From time to time, Mr. Whitnah had driveway rock brought in to rover his parking area, be- fore and after selling to Crosr. The sketch bole-d is my recall of the above discussion. i Nv2?� A 44ei4�1,✓6 TT_ .7 A,ee� / _ Z/
