Lundeen <br />3220 Hopldns Crossroads <br />Minnetonka, :MN 55305 <br />Ms. Liz Van Zomeren <br />City Planner/ Zoning Administrator <br />City of Orono <br />2750 Kelley Park'Mty <br />Orono, rvtinnesota <br />55356 <br />Dear Ms.Van Zomeren <br />Thank you for yom letter of October 1, 1998 <br />938-8144 <br />Hilloway Corporation <br />JimFenning <br />1550 Hnnter Drive <br />Wayzata, MN <br />October 7, 1998 <br />B <br />I did not realize that the application vvas incomplete. In your letter you refenecl to the access as no longer "via the <br />platted Outlot." It is my intention to maintain the only access to the lot by \Vcly of the outlot. \Vb.at I am requesting is <br />that v,.,e be able to grant a p1ivate casement for chive'Mly puiposes over the v..~sterly 20 fact oflot 3. This casement <br />v..ould run in favor of Lot 1. <br />\.Vhen the property vvas graded and the private road constmcted on Outlot A to serve lots 1, 3 and 4, ChaclVvick <br />v..e discovered that a chiveway coming off the side of the Outlot was preferable to a chivevvay that v...ould come off <br />the and of the Outlot, We concluded this because <br />l. There 'MJuld be less removal of trees directly in the path of the chivev-1ay. <br />2. Because the chivev,,ay traverses a medium sized ravine there v--oulcl be less filling of the ravine and <br />less tree removal on the side slopes Vvhere the fill v,,oulcl be placed. <br />We have since sold Lot I and a house is being constructed on it. When v..e sold it, v..e granted the buyer an <br />easement aver the v..esterly 20 feet of Lot 3. In other cities vJiere I have developed real estate it has nut been <br />necessaiy to got approval from the City For piivate casement purposes. But I have since learned that Orono has <br />had special circumstances occur that have necessitate this ordinance. <br />Ignorance of the ordinance; of Orono, on my pat"t, is no excuse for my granting of the easement. Tue easement <br />was only granted to save trees and grading. <br />I am. respectfiffly requesting the City of Orono to permit my granting of a ch.ivev-.ay easement over the v-.estedy <br />portion of Lot 3, Chaclwck-in favor of Lot 1, Chaclv..ick. <br />Thank you, I appreciate your consideration of this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />Laurie M. Lundeen <br />President Greenfield Corporation <br />p.2
