Box 66 <br /> Crystal Bay,Minnesota 55323 <br /> Re: Dock installation at 1245 North Shore Drive <br /> Dear Mike: <br /> We spoke by telephone in late March and Y believe my wife Cher�l also called you. <br /> '17Ve would like to instal l our dock now so that we can keep our boat al our property rather <br /> than paying for a sli�at a marina. We purchased Ld Callahan's loi last November and �ave the <br /> house to the City of Long Lake and its Fire Department for search and rescue practice and other <br /> training. The house c�me down about February 26, 2005. Wa intend to construct a new house at <br /> that site. <br /> We hope to break ground before September I, 2005. We vuill be looking at close-to-final <br /> drar�vings and site plans with our architect next Tuesday. We hope tha,t the building plans will be <br /> submitted without the need to seek any variances. 'W'o do not foresec impediments to obtaining <br /> the permit and starting construction,except for weather. <br /> '�Vhen we spoke, I soughl information about installing a dock at our property. We had <br /> purchased a boat. W�wancad io keep the boat at our lot on a lift installed as part of a dock <br /> system. To my surprise and chag�in, Y learn�d that Orono prohibits its property ov+mers from <br /> installing docks unless there is a house on the site. Y believe khat Orono is the only City on the <br /> I.ake with that restriction. Apparently, if we ha.d left the vacant house standing until we starte�d <br /> new construction,we could have installed the dock, The dietinction escapes us. <br />
