Lundeen 3220 Hopkins Crossroads l\Ilnnetonka, l\1N 55305 Ms. Liz Van Zomeren City Planner/ Zoning Administrntor City of Orono 2750 Kelley Park~y Orono, l\,finnesota 55356 Dear Ms.Van Zomeren Thank you for your letter of October 1, 1998 938-8144 Hilloway Corporation J1mFenning 1550 Hwtter Drive \Vayzata, l\1N October 7, 1998 13 I did not realize that the application \NaS incomplete. In your letter you refened to the access as no longer "via the platted Outlot." It is my intention to maintain the only access to the lot by way of the outlot. What I am requesting is that wa be able to grant a private casement for c1rivev-.,ay purposes over the v-.,~sterly 20 fact oflot 3. This casement v..-oulcl run in favor of Lot 1. \.\Then the property was graded an.cl the p1ivate road constructed on Outlot A to serve lots 1, 3 and 4, ChaclVvick v..e discovered that a chivev,.,ay coming off the side of the_ Outlot was preferable to a chiveway that v-..ould come off the and of the Outlot, We concluded this because 1. There v.ould be less removal of trees directly in the path of the chivevv.ty. 2. Because the chivevvay traverses a medium sized ravine there '\Nould be less fi.1ling of the ravine and less tree removal on the side slopes wiere the fill v..oukl be placed. 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 easement aver the \\esterly 20 feet of Lot 3. In other cities \\here I have developed real estate it has nut been necessaiy to got approval from the City For pt.ivate casement purposes. But I have since learned that Orono has had special circumstances occur that have necessitate this ordinance. Ignorance of the ordinance; of Orono, on my part, is no excuse for my granting of the easement. Toe easement v,,as only granted to save trees and grading. I am respectfiffl.y requesting the City of Orono to pennit my granting of a chivev-.ay easement over the \M:stetly portion of Lot 3, Chach-.ick-in favor of Lot 1, Chadv-.ick. Thank you, I appreciate your consideration of this matter. Sincerely. Laurie M. Lundeen President Greenfield Corporation
