Box 66 <br /> Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> July 25, 1997 <br /> John Dalbec <br /> 1565 Orono Oaks Drive <br /> Long Lake, MN 55356 <br /> Dear Mr. Dalbec: <br /> In May 1997 staff received your complaint that there are too many horses on the property at 30 <br /> Orono Orchard Road North owned by your neighbors, James Murphy and Sandra Smith. You <br /> indicated a concern that because of a lack of pasture area this use is resulting in destruction of <br /> vegetation, topsoil erosion and waste discharging to the nearby wetland. I have inspected the site <br /> on two occasions and I have discussed this issue with the property owners. They have consulted <br /> experts to assist in determining whether there is a potential pollution hazard. They believe that the <br /> current number of horses and barn location must be considered as a legal non-conforming use. I <br /> have spent considerable time researching City records to determine whether there is a basis for their <br /> contention. <br /> Your specific concerns as expressed in your letter of June 11 are: <br /> 1. Lot size does not meet code for maintaining two horses; <br /> 2. Pasture size does not meet code for two horses; <br /> 3. 'Sewage' drained directly to wetland; <br /> 4. Stable does not meet 75' to lot lines; <br /> 5. Stable does not meet 150' to adjacent residences. <br /> List of Attachments <br /> A - History of Property <br /> B - History of Pertinent Codes <br /> C - Plat& Topography Maps <br /> D - Letter from Jeremy Geske, U of M 6/23/97 <br /> Analysis of Issues <br /> Regarding concerns #1 and#2: <br /> Telephone (612) 473-7357 • FAX 473-0510 <br />
