September 10, 2001 David & Jodi Dalvey 3230 Bohns Point Lane Wayzata, :MN 55391 RE: 1520 Bohns Point Road -Variance Application( s) Dear Jodi & David: We understand that you are applying for several variances in connection with your potential construction at 1520 Bohns Point Road. You have shown us a survey dated 2-22-01 from Coffin & Granburg which shows the location of a new house on the site of the old house. With reference to that drawing which will be included along with this letter in a Request for Variance Application submitted to the City of Orono on September 18, 2001, we agree to support your request for the following two variances. MINIMUM LOT WIDTII: We understand the City of Orono requires a minimum lot width of 144 feet and that your lot is only 100 feet wide and consequently you are requesting a variance from the City of Orono. Without a variance, you cannot build on the lot per City of Orono statutes. We agree to and support your request for a variance so that you may build on the lot MINIMUM SETBACK REQUIREMENT: We understand the City of Orono has a setback requirement which prevents the construction of any foundation or hardcover (patios, decks, etc.) to the East of a straight line drawn between the easternmost point of the foundation/hardcover of the house at 1500 Bohns Point Road and the easternmost point of the house at 1540 Bohns Point Road. We understand that you intend to position the proposed new house further from Lake Minnetonka from where the existing house foundation currently sits, but ahead of the straight line between the two neighboring homes. Without a variance, you would need to move the house away from the lake another 15 to 20 feet to comply. This distance does not impact our view of the lake and because the new house will be fur.her back, actually would improve our view if we had such a concern. We agree to and support your request for a variance so that you may position your house as shown on the survey plan. You agree to use your best effort to keep us apprised of any future changes, which may impact our properties and further agree to share your current site plan survey drawings with us in the future should we so request. q .... iG-a I Signed: ~~~~~--'='~====-7-/e,»-.:<,/ Gene and Barbara Johnson 1500 Bohns Point Road Wayzata, Minnesota 55391 (952) 471-7699 . .,:-_: _.-
