March 8, 1985 Mr. Jay T. Smedberg P.O. Box 590 Excelsior, MN 55331 Dear Mr. Smedberg: CITY of ORONO Post Office Box 66 • Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 • Municipal Offices On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka Re: Big Island Property Having had discussions with you, with Eugene Nelson, and with Judy Frommes of Century 21, it appears necessary to review the history of the Big Island property and reiterate the City's position on Record Lot #16. 1. After the RS Seasonal Recreational zoning regulations were established on December 30, 1982, a letter was sent to Mrs. H.R. Nelson, Mrs. Victoria Arneson, and Vivian Nelson (the first two living at the same address) dated February 15, 1983, informing them of the proposed Record Lot deter- mination. At that initial contact, Record Lot #16 was considered to include Lots 6, 7, and 8, Morse Island Park (owned by Victoria Arneson); plus all of Lot C, Morse Island Park (owned by Mrs. H.R. Nelson); plus half of Lot 7, Morse Island Park Second Addition (owned by Vivian Nelson). No portion of lakeshore property was included in Record Lot #16 since the abutting lakeshore strip was owned by Eugene Nelson as part of Record Lot #22. 2. On March 27, 1983, City Planner Alan Olson discussed the record lot determination with Victoria Arneson. She stated that she had no problem with combination of her lots with her mother's lot (Lot C) as long as she couuld still build on her Lots 6, 7 and 8. Victoria and Alan agreed that the most likely location for a new cabin would be on Lots 6, 7, and 8 rather than at the site of the old cabin on Lot C. Alan noted that under the combined Record Lot #16, a new cabin could be built on Lots 6, 7, and 8 and at the time the building permit is requested, a decision would have to be made whether to keep the old cabin on Lot Casa guest house or tear it down.
