Mayor Gabriel Jabbour <br />City of Orono <br />2750 Kelly Parkway <br />Orono, MN 55356 <br />James Ogland <br />525 Ferndale Road N <br />Wayzata, Minnesota 55391 <br />RE: Big Island dock permit request#2549 at 220 Big Island. <br />I think it sets a bad precedent to issue a dock permit for private use on pubic property. <br />In almost all situations most propertt"!:~ they want lake access, are required to pur- <br />chase a lake property to do so. I dcfteel that it is the responsiblity of the City to give them <br />access even if the property is land-locked. It makes little difference if it is on an island, land <br />based owners are not given this right, they must purchase their own lake shore. <br />I know that there are previous permits issued, and they should be graih~ in, but now is <br />the time to put a stop to non-lakeshore property owners to get free access to the lake. <br />Adjacent neighbors should not be expected to have inland owners using a fire lane for their <br />private use. These lake accesses were not intended for this use. If you allow this, then what <br />is next? snowmobile route, winter car driving off the ice. <br />I will not be able to attend the council meeting as will be out of the state. I own the lot at 200 <br />Big Island <br />Sincerely, <br />James Ogland <br />cc: Paul Weinberger
