It has also come to the City's attention that you have various items stored around the properties. The above are in violation of the following ordinances: • Grading and filling without permit - violation of Section 10.56, Subdivision 10. • Grading and filling within 75' of the lake - violation of Section 10.56, Subdivision 16 J(2) � Filling in wetland - violation of Section 10.55, Subdivision 8. • Exterior storage of materials -violation of Section10.60, Subdivision 13 and Section 9.55. This letter is to notify you that the City of Orono takes protection of the lakeshore and wetlands very seriously. Therefore the City must require you to remove the fill from the wetland and replace it at the lakeshore. Erosion control must be in place as soon as possible to prevent soil from entering the lake and wetland. The property also must be cleaned up and the exterior storage eliminated. You should be aware that the City prohibits burying of any items or construction debris(Section 12.09). The City �vill withhold legal action at this time; however, if the property is not brought into compliance before January 5, 2000, the City will issue citations and a court appeazance will be required.

City of Orono PO Box 66 �- Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 Dear Mr. Oman: This is in response to the letter that you sent us December 16, regazding our property, 120 & 140 Big Island. As far as the grading and filling is concerned-we originally moved the dirt because of a ridge that was from the ice in the spring of 1999. We will move it back to the way it was, but we thought maybe we should wait until spring, when the ground thaws. The exterior storage of materials was also mentioned in your letter. We have an excess amount of pipe and other materials azound our cabin. We are in the process of drilling a well at 140 Big Island, and it is taking longer than we expected. Jack injured his shoulder, and had an operation this summer, and he has not recovered like he thought he would. He will also be drilling 2 more wells on Big Island as soon as he finishes ours, so that is why we have an excess amount of pipe and materials. We are normally fairly neat property owners. We will make every effort to attend to the matters that you stated in the letter.

I have sent you several letters in the past with various violations at this property. A recent inspection at your property revealed the following violations: 1) Large stones placed in the 0-75 setback of Lake Minnetonka(at the shoreline of access) 2) Unlicenced and inoperable boats 3) Unlicenced and inoperable vehicles 4) Junk and debris scattered around the property. Some of these violations are new and some of the violations have never been addressed from the prior letters. This letter is one last attempt to get the property in compliance before I give these violations to our attorney for prosecution. Please clean up the property and remove the rocks by December 6, 2002. If you have any questions please call me at 952-249-4600.

We still have an issue with your well drilling truck (per letter and conversation we had in December) on Big Island. We now have an issue with a blue pickup truck that lies between your two properties. We need to have both vehicles removed before the end of this winter. The ice should be strong enough in February to remo��e the trucks. If you cannot get the well drilling truck moved in one piece, you may have to cut it up in a couple of pieces to get it off the island. We also would like to see all of the other trash removed from your property as well. If you cannot get this accomplished we may be farced to seek legal action to get it cleaned up. Please call me with any questions or a timetable to getting this matter taken care of.
