With that <br /> opportunity no longer available, let me try to get the train back on the tracks for June. <br /> Before doing so, let me state some fundamental observations, which may assist <br /> in the process. You and Melanie work for the City, and want what is best for the City. <br /> The Lindbloom family.lives in the City, and has.been in residence at the Rainey Road <br /> address for five years. The Lindblooms, too;.want,what is best for the.City, and for their <br /> neighborhood. My family and I also live in the Ci#y--for almost ten years now. We want <br /> what is best for the City. We are all on the same side here. With that said, I would like <br /> the opportunity to come to a reasonable resolution of the Lindblooms' variance request, <br /> and so I turn to the substantive points of your message. _ .��`" J.. <br /> I used the term "simple" in my email message to you, because the issue is fairly <br /> straight forward. There is a side yard setback requirement in Orono. The map <br /> submitted to the City shows one proposed structure 31 feet from the side lot line, and �:�'��`--?�, <br /> . p / 'p��r <br /> another proposed struct«re 10 feet from the I�ne. Do th.,se structures encroach otier the �f:�� <br /> applicable setback line or don't they? I did not mean to belittle the application process. <br /> �.n��,... <br /> It's just that the Lindblooms were not and are not applying for a 20 lot subdivision or a �=_'"''��`°'4:� <br /> rezoning or some other more controversial approval. Quite simply, when I made my `,,.:...........S;;w� <br /> appeal to you for a spot on the May Planning Commission Agenda, I was trying to have �`�'''' �� <br /> - the matter heard sooner rather than later, for obvious reasons, and to that end I was ,-�.;•� �;� <br /> advocatin the sim licit of the re uest. ���'�'�• � <br /> 9 p Y q ,��;��;.:•'� F.,f <br /> h= ,>:. <br /> ; t;; <br /> . {�'f',1 •�t�}�. <br /> �[.:: <br /> Then, as to the quality of the Lindbloom's map; Chad Lindbloom will have a ,;5:.. ;:��,.� <br /> surve or Mark Gronber or the ori inal surve or re are a better de iction of the . `�`���� �"����' <br /> Y � g J Y ) p p P� i <br /> ro ert , but it will show the same 31' and 10' distances:.. �.�•�_� <br /> p p Y . .. . :;; ,x:�� <br /> . . � . �� �a.� <br /> �� �-�� <br /> ���� <br /> g912 IDS Center,8o South�ightli Street,Minneapolis,Mimiesota 55402 <br /> Telephone: 6i2.34i.9800 I'acsimile: Gi2.33a.ia15 Einail:wuilaw@popp.net <br />
