Council <br /> Exhibit Df <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> From: Jessica Loftus <br /> Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2013 3:13 PM <br /> To: Melanie Curtis <br /> Subject: FW: City Council <br /> Follow Up Flag: Follow up <br /> Flag Status: Completed <br /> From: standadpm@aol.com [mailto:standadpmCa�aol.com] <br /> Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2013 10:05 AM <br /> To: Jessica Loftus <br /> Subject: Re: City Council <br /> Dear Ms. Loftus, <br /> This reply to your E-mail of 1/4/2013 is my formal request to be placed on the agenda for the Orono City Council Meeting <br /> of 2/25/2013. I would require no more than 10 minutes of the Council's time. <br /> A brief review of the situation follows to bring you and the Council a background for this request. <br /> My Family has lived at 3025 Casco Point Road since March of 2004. The property has an access to Casco Point Road by <br /> way of an easement with the property to the North (Tract C). All of the properties involved in ths situation are subject to <br /> Torrens law and are duly registered. The Easement is Torrens document#505888. Property A to the South changed <br /> hands in 06/11. The new owner performed a new survey which revealed a discrepancy and informed Us and Owners of <br /> Property C that he desired to reclaim this land. Review of previous surveys indicate that the Lot lines of the 3 properties <br /> have been off since at least 1993 and possibly since the original division in 1956. The previous owners of the properties <br /> were aware of this and I assume since it involved a common driveway felt it best to continue with the arrangement. The <br /> new owner of Property A does not. Personal and legal negotiations ensued and offers of Property(lakeshore), cash or a <br /> combination of both were rejected. I now have to move my driveway to have continued access to Casco Point Road. If <br /> only it was that simple. In 1994 the current owners and residents of Property C removed the existing residence and built a <br /> new one. Their building plan approved by Orono Planning included landscape improvements on the easement. Property C <br /> was unaware of this encroachment as were we until the new situation arose. As you are aware there is no Adverse <br /> Possession in Torrens property law. I now have to reclaim part of the encroached on easement to comply with survey <br /> findings per Property A. Legal representation of Property A agrees that without adjusting the existing driveway North we <br /> will not be able to get to our house by Auto. My legal council agrees. I will be doing this in the spring. I have been <br /> attempting to obtain a Permit through Orono Planning so I can proceed. I have provided old and newly comissioned <br /> surveys of all 3 properties,paid my permit fee and escrow fee. New requirements continue to be raised and requested. I <br /> do not have a permit. I am coming to you out of respect for the process. My necessity is clear. Property A has been <br /> understanding but this will end in the spring. I welcome any and all of you to come and look for yourselves at the <br /> situation. Ms Loftus was provided with pictures and survey for you to review prior to my appearance. <br /> Thank you for your patience, <br /> Scott and Irene Standa <br /> 3025 Casco Point Road <br /> Orono, MN 55391 <br /> C-612-240-6219 <br /> Attachments to follow in different E-mail <br /> -----Original Message----- <br /> From: Jessica Loftus <jloftusC�ci.orono.mn.us> <br /> To: standadpm <standadqmCa�aol.com> <br /> Sent: Fri, Jan 4, 2013 4:28 pm <br /> Subject: City Council <br /> Dear Scott Standa, <br /> i <br />
