Gaffron Senior Planning Coordinator CITY OF ORONO 2750 Kelley Parkway Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 Re: Application to Subdivide the Stubbs Property Dear Mr. Gaffron: I think it is important to document some of the history regarding the planning for roads in Crystal Creek and the general Watertown Road—Crystal Bay Road area. When I worked with the City to plan the Crystal Creek road plan,the City's long range plan was to extend the Crystal Creek road to its east and then hook up with another road extending north from Watertown Road. There were a number of reasons for this. First,because of the shear size of the land north of Watertown Road, if cul—de—sacs were built from Watertown Road, they would be too long and would not comply with City standards. The Crystal Creek cul—de—sac road,which is rather short, was already too long for city standards. To eliminate the long cul—de—sac the City intended to extend Crystal Creek's road to the east when Stubbs applied to subdivide their land. The road would then hook up with another road which connected with Watertown Road. It was believed that the likely road to hook up with would be Wear Lane, and another possibility was a road running along the east side of the Stubbs property. Also, for safety reasons the City wanted a road network in the area for multiple points of access to properties. The intent to extend the Crystal Creek road to the east is reflected in the Historical Information which you previously distributed to the Planning Commission and the Council, attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Resolutions noted that the Crystal Creek cul—de—sac was temporary and would be removed when the road was extended eastward. It also provided that the easterly—most lot in Crystal Creek would have a temporary driveway easement across the adjoining lot, and would have a permanent access when the adjacent road to the east is constructed along the north side of the Stubbs property. The Resolution stated that my undeveloped land north of Crystal Creek would also hook up with the Crystal Creek road Mr. Michael P. Gaffron May 19, 1999 Page 2 "through A. Stubbs property." March 29, 1991 Resolution. Your staff highlighted a number of pertinent portions in the Historical Information. You were absolutely correct when you said during the Council Meeting on April 12, 1999, "[t]he clear intent of the City back in 1991 was to continue a 50—foot corridor across the top [ofJ the Stubbs property." The City and I contemplated that persons living east of Crystal Creek would use the Crystal Creek road, and persons living in Crystal Creek could use the roadway to the east. In particular, we assumed that the northern part of the Stubbs property would have the benefit of, and access off, Crystal Creek. Given the use of the Crystal Creek road, it seemed fair to require that the Stubbs property proved a 50—foot easement for access by Stubbs to its own property and for access to other properties located to the north and east of Stubbs. This plan makes great sense, and I note that the first application to subdivide the Stubbs property proposed an access off Crystal Creek's road for the north of Stubbs property. It seems clear that Mr. Renckens should access the north end of his property off the 50—foot easement from Crystal Creek. As Mr. Kelly correctly noted during the April 12, 1999 Council Meeting, "If the applicant has access from Crystal Creek,he can eliminate the 30—foot outlot, move the lot line further south and make Lot 1 bigger so it could be subdivided in the future." The property owners of Crystal Creek all had notice that the cul—de—sac is a"Temporary Cul—de—sac", and that the road would be extended to the east"through the land adjoining the property" and hook up with my property to the north. See Exhibit B, Crystal Creek Declaration, Sections 3.1, and 3.4. They also knew that the easterly—most lot, Lot 7, Block 1, had a non—conforming temporary easement over adjoining Lot 6 until the main road"is extended into the land adjoining the Property. . . ." See Section 4.1. The owners of Crystal Creek had fair notice of City planning. Mr. Renckens had notice as well. This has been a very unusual subdivision. The first application to subdivide the Stubbs property was filed by John Vogt and Mike Hilbelink. Mr. Renckens apparently was not involved, but Mr. Winston was the attorney for Vogt and Hilbelink. According to the application, Stubbs was the owner of the property and Vogt and Hilbelink were the applicants. On January 19, 1999,the Planning Commission voted that the 50—foot easement had to be provided at the north end of the property. At that point, Mr. Renckens' name appeared on the next application. That application said Mr. Renckens was the owner and Mr. Winston was designated as the applicant. On March 15, 1999,the Planning Commission again required the 50—foot easement. Renckens/Winston then took the matter to the City Council, and, on April 12, 1999, the City Council voted to require the 50—foot easement. It now appears that Mr. Renckens was not in fact the owner of the property during this process. Mr. Winston's unusual,to say the least, April 14, 1999, letters to the Council members state that"I am deeply concerned that Mr. Renckens will now not purchase the property. . . ." I understand from you that Mr. Renckens said he has now closed on the property. Mr. Renckens wants to change the City plan to his perceived benefit and the detriment of my land to the north and prior City planning. Mr. Renckens had fair notice of City plans before Mr. Michael P. Gaffron May 19, 1999 Page 3 he purchased. First, anyone desiring to subdivide the Stubbs property could simply ask the City what its long—range plans were for the area. They would learn that the City planned an easement across the north end of the property. Next, Mr. Renckens knew before he acquired an interest in the property from Vogt and Hilbelink that the Planning Commission on January 19, 1999, required the 50—foot lot. Also, he knew before he decided to purchase the property that the Planning Commission on March 15, 1999, and the Council on April 12, 1999, required the 50—foot easement. Mr. Renckens purchased with full notice of City requirements. Thank you. Very/truly yours Alan G.
