;� l a 1�� 22 April 1998 ; ,. ,. ,.,; .�-a Mr. Lyle Oman, Building Official City of Orono Re: Variance for Home Business, 2965 Casco Point Road, Wayzata Dear Mr. Oman: I have received your letter dated March 12, 1998 regarding violation of the City of Orono Municipal Code for operation of a business in a residential zoning district. As you know, I requested a variance in 1995 for a home architectural practice. With only a 3-3 vote from the planning commission, I withdrew our variance application. I believe two of the reasons for rejection were ownership and mixed use. It was not acceptable to have the property owned by my mother-in-law, Josphine Knudson, as opposed to myself. In addition, I was officing in the lower level with renters in the upper level. Both of these issues have been resolved. We have no renters and I will assume ownership within the next few weeks. It is my hope that with these changes, I may pursue a variance again. As you probably are aware, I have been communicating with Liz Van Zomeren as to how to proceed with the variance. With her advice, my first step is to present my case at the May 11 � City Council meeting. In case this hearing does not go as I hope, I have started T.J. Haislet of Burnet Reatly in Wayzata on a search for a small commercial property for relocation of my practice in the Wayzata, Excelsior or Chaska areas. I would be most disappointed if this became a necessity, however. In the meantime, I will continue to improve the property for use as a single family residence for my Mother-in-law or son through permits with the City of Orono. At the same time, I will seek a final decision from the City of Orono. I hope that this will be acceptable. I assume a resolution will be achieved in either case within the next several weeks. Sincerely, Ted Rozeboom 2967 C co Point Road � -_� �
