to Marketing J STEVEN S. WEINSTEIN & ASSOCIATES Consultants Me.. 259 Hollander Road • Wayzata, MN 55391 • (612) 475.3199 January 24, 1987 Mayor James Grabek City of Orono PO Box 66 Crystal Pay, MN 9532.1 Dear Mayor Grabek: This is in reference to the petition of John Hollander at 250 Hollander Road to subdivide his property for the purpose of sale. I understand the Planning Commission gave tentative approval to do this at the January 20 Meeting with the condition that Mr. Hollander take down the garage and close the road from the rental property to County Road 6. We wish to stongly object to this decision on two primary issues: 1. The "Guest House" which is part of the 250 Hollander Road property Is in reality a 'Rental" house for which there is a separate mail box, a dog which runs free and paying tenants. We contend that this does not conform to the covenant and zoning laws which calls for one residential dwelling per 2 acres. Solution: 1f this is to sold as a "guest house", then the present tenants must be evicted. the private mail box taken down, and the house should be not be used for an income producing property. 2. The two barns on the adjoining lot (200 Hollander Rd) are hazardous and represent a danger to the neighborhood's small children. Solution: We would like to see the barns taken down before the approval is given to subdivide this property so nobody gets hurt in the future. Mayor Grabek, If the above two issues which we feel are very important to the future of this community are rectified, then we have no objection to the proposal fur subdivision. 1 understand lhiu prupusal will be taken up at the February 9 City Council meeting and we plan to have representatives at this meeting. Let's address these issues now so we can intelligently deal with them at the meeting Sincerely yours, L..,,-h6,t, Steven Weinstein
