! <br />> Before we talk, I need to know if you submitted a variance application and went in front of the planning <br /> commission or was this just handled with the Orono planning department? <br />> I am assuming that you have an issue with hardcover. Let me know if that is the case. <br />>Also let me know what is a good time to talk. <br />>Thanks, <br />> Lili <br />> <br />> <br />> Lili McMillan <br />> Mayor, City of Orono <br />>Orono, Minnesota <br />>612-840-8484 <br />> <br />> From: Foster, Eric [Eric.Foster@ngam.natixis.com] <br />>Sent:Thursday, May 24, 2012 9:47 AM <br />>To: Lili McMillan <br />>Subject: 4156 Highwood Road Orono, MN <br />> <br />> Dear Lili, <br />> <br />> Please see my email below detailing my families recent experience in dealing with the City of Orono. We <br /> would appreciate any response you may have. <br />> <br />>Thank you, <br />> <br />> Eric <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> Dear Chris, <br />> <br />>After hours of conversation with you and the staff at the city of Orono planning commission we have no <br /> choice but to try and sell our recently purchased lake house on lake Minnetonka. Do to your complete <br /> unwillingness to work with us and lack of effort to even understand our situation,our dreams of a family lake <br /> house on lake Minnetonka have been shattered. <br />> <br />>The living level of the house on the lake side is about 10 to 15 feet off the ground and without a deck the <br /> house is literally unusable. There is no place for our 2 and 4 year old daughters to go safely other then down <br /> on the lower lawn with out a deck. We have no place to enjoy our view of the lake, have a bbq, or entertain <br /> friends and family. <br />> <br />>We have put our blood, sweat,tears, hearts, and hard earned money into this lake house only to have the <br /> experience ripped away from us by orono's unreasonable policies. We put hours and hours into the property <br /> since we purchased it in February of 2012. New roof, new paint, hours of clean up and fix up, all for nothing. <br /> We understand the rules and the need for them but in this case it's so simple and so obvious if somebody <br /> would have taken the time to come out to the property you could easily how reasonable our request is. <br />> <br /> 2 <br />
