19 July 2010 C-"0 <br /> FBF/VE) <br /> JULc 1 <br /> City Administrator 1 Zo10 <br /> / OFO <br /> City of Orono RONO <br /> P.O. Box 66 <br /> Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br /> Dear Sir or Madam: <br /> We are the owners of the house and property at 190 Orono Orchard Road (PID # <br /> 0211723210009). This is a non-conforming lot of approximately 1.63 acres with a <br /> significant portion being non-buildable marshland. The house, built in 1930, <br /> includes two levels and is approximately 1452 square feet.The building occupies <br /> the only available building site on the property, and is attached to city sewer. <br /> The house is in poor condition and deteriorating. Based on input from our <br /> construction consultant,the age of the structure and its deteriorating condition,we <br /> have concluded that the appropriate current course is to tear down the building at <br /> this time and build a new structure at a future date. <br /> We believe a new house of approximately the same size, and located in the same <br /> location or using the existing structure footprint, should ultimately be built on the <br /> lot. We are not, however, prepared to undertake such construction at this time. <br /> Nonetheless,the removal of the existing structure, for the reasons cited above, <br /> should not wait for a definitive new construction plan. <br /> Accordingly,we formally request confirmation from the city that, after removing the <br /> current house,we or any future owner of the property will be able to build a new <br /> house on the lot by using the current site location.Affirmation of this is necessary <br /> because of the non-conforming nature of the lot and the location of the existing <br /> structure, coupled with the fact that a future building date is, at this time, unplanned <br /> and unknown . <br /> Thank you for your attention to this matter. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> "T- 3•ki\ \Kc G 44.01 <br /> William W. and Nadine M.
