March 18, 1998 <br />Ms. Liz Van Zomeren <br />Planning/Zoning Administrator <br />City of Orono <br />P.O. Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br />RE: File 2306 (Winds Reach Estates) <br />Dear Ms. Van Zomeren, <br />MAR_ 1 ~ 1898 <br />Please consider this letter to be a formal notice of termination of the development <br />of the property at 809 North Brown Road, also known as the proposed Winds <br />Reach Estates subdivision. With the sale and close on the property as the <br />original undivided property in February, the subdivision of the property has been <br />terminated. I understand the new owner has already visited with various City staff <br />and begun the process of constructing a new home and out building(s). <br />Please return the Park dedication fee and any other fees that may be refundable. <br />Your assistance would also be appreciated in resolving another problem. During <br />the title search as part of the closing on the property sale, the Title Company <br />noted that the City of Orono had assessed "delinquent utility fees" of <br />approximately $90 each year that was collected as a part of the property tax bills <br />for years 1997 and 1998. I have called the City several times to determine the <br />source and reason, but no one as yet has been able to help. I believe the <br />assessments to be "annual septic inspection fees" that should not have been <br />billed. The property was vacant and there was no dwelling unit on the property <br />since early 1996. I would appreciate your assistance in obtaining a refund of the <br />assessments that I paid in order for the sale to close.
