Friday, February 27, 1998 <br /> Mike Gaffron <br /> Senior Planning Coordinator <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway <br /> P.O. Box 66 <br /> Orono, Minnesota 55323 <br /> Dear Mike, <br /> I appreciated your taking the time for our phone conversation last <br /> Wednesday referencing the Minnetonka Center for the Arts. As I <br /> e�lained,it had been our intent to renovate the present building,yet <br /> when the estimated costs were determined, the difference between a <br /> remodelled and new building was rather surprising! The reason for the <br /> inquiry was to understand the process of approval from the City of <br /> Orono for a new building prior to our reviewing this as an option. <br /> As I understand, the approval process for a new building would follow <br /> the same procedure as remodelling. First, the Art Center requests a <br /> conditional use permit to build,which is reviewed by the planning <br /> commission who then sends the request to the City Council. The <br /> process generally takes two to three months for final approval, providing <br /> there are no requests for site variances. <br /> We will keep you updated with our progress and would welcome�ny <br /> comments that you might have concerning this project. <br /> With thanks, <br /> Julie Hallqui t <br /> Building Committee, Chair <br /> cc: Susan Anderson, MCA Director <br /> Tom Hysell, Architectural Alliance <br /> - � . . ���:- <br /> M [ NNETONKA � <br /> CENTER = RRTS � ..;� U �. �y�� <br /> 2240 Nor�h Share D�ive —��-��� <br /> WaYiafa �1N �9591-9127 .. . `�,-�— i��.ai`i e`�� <br /> Tel 6l2 473 7361 <br /> Faa 612 47J 736i <br />
