CITY of ORONO <br />l'osl Office Box (i(i • Crystal Bay, Minne,;ota 55:32:l • Municipal Offices <br />May 17, 1983 <br />Mrs. Victoria Arneson <br />Mrs. H. R. Nelson <br />On the North Shore of Lahe Minnetonha <br />3115 Cedar Avenue South <br />Apt. 3 <br />Minneapolis, Mn. 55407 <br />RE: Big Island Record Lot No. 16 <br />Dear Mrs. Arneson and Mrs. Nelson, <br />Enclosed is an information packet on your Big Island property as <br />sent to all owners on the island. The purpose of this is to inform <br />you about the new zoning ordinance adopted last December, and to <br />record information about your property to ensure that your building <br />rights are protected to the fullest intent of the ordinance. <br />I apologize for the delay in getting this inforrnaiton to you. One <br />reason for the delay is that your property as identified by this <br />Record Lot is unusual in several respects. I want to be sure that <br />you understand what the ordinance says and what options you have <br />available. <br />'~he basic intent of the ordinance was to protect and preserve the <br />existing lots with cabins on them, and to allow creation of new <br />building sites only on lots of 5 acres or more in area. This <br />Record Lot totals 2.16 acres of dry land (plus 1.25 acres of wetland) <br />and has one cabin on it, so it has been defined as one building site <br />in the ordinance. <br />What makes your land unusual is the related ownership and use patterns <br />that tie together separate parcels owned by three persons: <br />1. The cabin is located on inland property listed to <br />Mrs. H. R. Nelson. This could be a separate record <br />lot except that access from the lake to the cabin <br />runs thru the Arneson lots. <br />2. The vacant hillside listed to Victoria Arneson totals <br />about 0.65 acre, which in itself is small to be con- <br />sidered an additional building site. But this is the <br />ideal spot to put up a new cabin to replace the old <br />one on the back lot. This could be considered a <br />separate record lot because of the separate ownership <br />if you want it to be. <br />BUILDINC & ZONINC -173-7357 • AmttNISTRATION & FINANCE --173-7358 • PUBLIC WORKS -473-7359 <br />ASSESS INC
