I just want to <br /> confirm that our position has not changed. We do not support the variances requested by Mr. & Mrs. Wang. If <br /> approved the addition would affect our view of the lake. I do not believe Mr. Wang's request meets the legal <br /> definition of hardship necessary for variance approval. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> David & Francine Delaney <br /> 3051 Farview <br /> From:�� <br /> To: mcurtis@ci.orono.mn.us <br /> Subject: 3059 Farview <br /> Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2013 07:29:14-0700 <br /> Hi Melanie, <br /> It is my understanding that the owners of 3059 Farview have applied to expand their existing home and seek several <br /> variances. Our home is located at 3051 Farview and is the adjacent property that will be most affected by the expansion if <br /> it were to be approved. As you know both of our properties are surrounded by protected wetlands and Lake Minnetonka it is <br /> unlikely under the current wetland regulations that any house would be allowed to be built where Mr. Wang's house is today. <br /> Our properties support a host of wildlife including Deer, Bald Eagles, Fox, Loons, Falcons, Herons and Trumpeter Swans.Mr. Wang's <br /> proposed addition will effect these wildlife and obstruct our view of Lake Minnetonka. <br /> Wang's property is too small and should not be granted the proposed variances for hardcover, lot setback and lakeshore setback <br /> because he wants a larger garage.The property already has an easement on our land for a driveway.The drive way is already to <br /> small and there is little to no room for delivery trucks to turn around and they have to back up the long driveway frequently. We <br /> hear the beeping alert of the garbage truck early in the morning as it backs up on our property. <br /> I do not believe approval of Mr.Wang's variance requests meet the definition of hardship because he wants a bigger garage <br /> especially in light of the fact that he just purchased the home. If he needed a bigger garage he should have purchased a different <br /> home.Approval of this request will have an unknown environmental impact, restrict my view and de-value my property. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> David& Francine Delaney <br /> 1 <br />
