Dave and Pat Spilseth <br />3233 Casco Circle <br />Wayzata, MN 55391 <br />phone 471 7152 <br />March 16, 1998 <br />Dear Orono City Council members and City Administrators: <br />This letter is to reemphasize our opposition to the Silus request for a conditional use <br />permit or any variance in regard to the property at 3235 Casco Circle, Wayzata. Our <br />next door neighbors, Steve and Elaine Silus, are requesting a conditional use permit <br />to erect a retaining wall within the 5' setback established by Orono City <br />ordinances. <br />As property owners at 3233 Casco Circle, next to the property in question, we feel that <br />the 5' setback is an important ordinance providing neighbors better esthetics, <br />protection from runoff and possible flooding, snow removal and other maintenance <br />infringements, and accessibility to the lake . <br />Therefore, we strongly urge the observance of existing property ordinances that <br />Orono has established to protect individual properties . This ordinance is supported <br />by countless Casco Circle property owners' calls and letters of protest to the Orono <br />City Offices. We want this letter to be placed in the city file urging Orono administrators <br />to make sure that drainage from the new Silus construction will not go onto our <br />property. We are concerned about flooding and erosion. <br />Mayor Gabe Jabbour and the Orono Council had the Silus request tabled at the <br />February 23 council meeting in order to give Siluses an opportunity to talk with their <br />neighbors, the Spilseths, about a satisfactory, mutually-agreed solution to this <br />problem. The Siluses have not contacted us regarding this or any other adjoining <br />property questions at any point. We feel the S'setback should be upheld as <br />written in Orono City Ordinances protecting individual properties . <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />~~ ~;-tlv f4-.-~ <br />David and atricia Spilseth <br />MAR 1 9 1998 <br />Cl Y OF OFlONO
