J1-1G PROPS RT1L5, LLC <br /> 12700 Anderson Lakes Parkway <br /> Eden Prairie, MN 55344-7652 <br /> E-mail address: <br /> JHGilbert@lawgilbert.com <br /> July 19, 2017 <br /> City of Orono <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway <br /> Orono,MN 55356 <br /> Re: Project Narrative for 4035 Dahl Road Lot Subdivision <br /> Dear Ms. Curtis <br /> The property at 4035 Dahl Road was purchased with the intention of protecting the <br /> neighborhood while also adding value to the properties in the area. The property is 1.83 acres in <br /> size and is located at the southeast corner of North Arm Drive and Dahl Road. The property <br /> currently has a dilapidated home that has been an eye sore in the neighborhood for some time. <br /> The property is zoned LR-1B residential and contains a very small wetland in the corner. The lot <br /> is the largest in the immediate neighborhood and is over 3 times the size of the two lots on Dahl <br /> Road immediately to the east. The home currently on the lot is located on the east side among <br /> numerous trees. Immediately to the west of the home there is a significant hill, at the bottom of <br /> which is an open grass-filled area of over one acre. <br /> JHG Properties,LLC also purchased the property at 4035 Dahl Road because I was <br /> extremely disappointed and concerned when the City allowed a manufactured home to be placed <br /> at 940 North Ann Drive(See attached picture). I live in the neighborhood where 4035 Dahl <br /> Road is located, and after the addition of the manufactured home, I took it upon myself to protect <br /> my neighborhood from this possibility by purchasing 4035 Dahl Road. <br /> It is my intention to demolish the dilapidated home that currently sits on the property and <br /> replace it with two homes of approximately 3,500 square feet each. The homes will be of high <br /> quality and built by a builder that has a track-record of building quality homes in this area. I've <br /> built homes of comparable size and cost in the past and would be happy to provide information <br /> about those projects should it be requested. While final plans for the proposed homes are not <br /> complete,preliminary plans prepared show that a home of substantial size will fit on both <br /> subdivided lots without any variances,beyond the one lot area variance that is being requested as <br /> part of this application. The homes I intend to build on this property will add substantial value to <br />
