Council From: Michael Roll fmailto:miroll@me.coml Exhibit J Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2016 9:14 AM To: Lill McMillan <LMcmillan@ci.orono.mn.us>; Jim Cornickjr <icornickir@ci.orono.mn.us>; Lizz Levang <Ilevans@ci.orono.mn.us>; Aaron H. Printup <aprintup@cLorono.mn.us>; Denny Walsh <dwalsh2@ci.orono.mn.us> Cc: Jessica Loftus <lloftus@ci.orono.mn.us>; Gina Fox <gfox@kraftwalser.com> Subject: Bollis Development 200-350 Stubbs Bay Road North Dear Mayor and City Council Members, My name is Michael Roll and I am the President of the Kintyre Two Homeowners Association that is located on Kintyre Lane in Orono. I just learned earlier this week that the Bollis sub -division is up for final approval with the Council on Monday night. The last information that we received from Mr. Bolls is that they were submitting a revised plat to the City to be reviewed in June. The Association has not had any contact with Mr. Bollis since June 14th, 2106 when we were informed that he was proceeding with a new 5 -lot plat. I am very surprised and frankly, disappointed that we have had no direct communication on this matter. I want to go on record that we do not have an executed maintenance agreement between the developer (Bollis) and the Kintyre Two Association as required by the preliminary plat approval r:lag , ,1 #128, GFS ga :0 "'IZt where it clearly states that there is a legal document required to show "evidence that an access and maintenance agreement between Kintyre Two and Kintyre Preserve homeowners associations has been executed and is in effect'. Please see page 10, section 2D in the first attachment. Furthermore, per the 3500 Watertown Road File No. 05-3152, it is stated clearly on page 3, paragraph 6 that "such document is intended to allow for the extension of the road to the property to the north at the cost of the developer of said property, and allow the future owners of the property to the north access to Watertown Road via the private road, at no cost save for sharing of maintenance of said private road". Please see page 3, section 6 of the second attachment. To be clear, we are not asking the City to negotiate a maintenance agreement on our behalf. However, we do expect the City to abide by the order and conditions set forth in the preliminary plat resolution for the Bollis development. We understand that the developer is planning to build a home in the new development and we look forward to welcoming him and his family to the neighborhood. That being said, we believe it is reasonable to expect a direct conversation on this plan and to work together, as neighbors, on an agreement that is mutually beneficial. We need some additional time to negotiate a final maintenance agreement before the development is approved and ask that the City give the parties involved an additional 30 days to come to an agreement before moving forward. Please include this email as ;oaf of th4 agenda p acrlags. to Mayor A all Council Mernbirs Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Respectfully, Michael Roll President, Kintyre Two Homeowners Association
