Gaffron <br /> City of Orono <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway <br /> Orono, MN 55356 <br /> RE: Land Use Application and Proposed Zoning Amendments -- #1�3769 -- 3409 East Lake Street <br /> Dear Mr. Gaffron. <br /> Foilowing a detailed review of the property survey and the proposed garage plans on file with the City of Orono <br /> for the above referenced land use application and proposed zoning amendments, I would like to submit the <br /> following comments for consideration. <br /> � The Survey on file is dated June 08, 2009. Since that date, the former owners of the property made <br /> multiple changes to the property thus making this survey obsolete. Changes that were made include <br /> but are not Iimited to the following: <br /> o The roof, together with the wafls of the garage that is referenced in the survey and which existed <br /> in 2009 has since been removed. However,the broken-up concrete slab on which the garage <br /> stood was left in place and wooden decking has since been constructed on the majority of the <br /> slab. <br /> o A new driveway was installed which is wider than both the original driveway and the drive <br /> proposed in the 2009 survey and plan. (See your files for date permit was pulled.) <br /> o A paved patio area was instailed along the east side of the deck to connect to the new driveway. <br /> o Pea gravel was dumped in a large area between the old garage slab and the new driveway. <br /> o The steps and pavers along the south side of the deck were removed and replaced by <br /> continuous steps that run the entire length of the deck. <br /> o In lieu of landscape fiabric, rubber membrane used to waterproof the basement of the house <br /> was placed around the perimeter of the house and covered with decorative rock. <br /> o The same rubber membrane was also placed over a significant portion of the front yard when <br /> the lawn was turned into a flower garden. <br /> o Concrete landscaping blocks were installed to create a boarder around the north and east <br /> perimeters of the property as well as other areas on the property to define planting beds. <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br />
