KcCoy <br />1425 Bay Ridge Road (corner HIV/YS 15 & 51) *>409 Bayjridge <br />Rto. 5 Waysata,MI. 55391 <br />August 30, 1982 <br />Kr, Alan Olsen <br />Building & Zoning <br />Orono City Hall <br />1335 Brown Road <br />Crystal Bay,MN. 55323 <br />Dear Mr. Olsent <br />Soraetlino ago I i*elatod lay need for a VARIAOT on comer 51 & 15 to Brad <br />Van Bst who suggested that I write an informal note to you in explanation. <br />The tract of land in question is described in Registered Land Survey <br />192 as Tracts A/R/sA/iI purchased in 1966 as to k/R and T/S/U in 1968. <br />The land and building sites were then zoned as 1 acre mlnimums , 9 lots, <br />Ei^t homes are now located on these lots including my o\m described as B/Q. <br />A/R was in rou^ shape tho containing 8 beautiful shade trees,line <br />planted. I planted 28 Spruce and two hedges of Siberian Pines Lakeside <br />and periphery, some 44 trees on the pjeriphery to shut out traffic view <br />on 15 & 51 and to deaden sound. <br />The status of this contiguous property was changed by the injection of <br />new Zoning Ordinance of 1^75 setting 2 acre minlmums for on-site <br />sewage disposal and limits established for 1 Family Lakeshore, Biz Reed <br />discovered this when die went into Realty operations and it turned out ^ <br />to be a shocker since I was heavily invested in it with no mortgage#8«rt%. <br />Financially it is a separate assetja small mortgage left on adjoining <br />Homestead B/Q, 1,2 Acres , No homestead credit or refund was over received on k/S <br />When taxes were low we enjoyed tho extra 1,4 acres of k/R/T/U as a buffer <br />and no neighbors but the economics today require a new lookjtaxes on <br />the area in question v;ont up 55^ this yearj *82 and I pay double^ paving <br />and entrance gate and shrub coststo sot a good entrance LANDMARK for <br />the Bay Ridge area. The lot surveys 1.40 acres but the periphery <br />moasuremonts give it over 2 acres supported by my titles. Since tho <br />intervening land is unbuildable we can’t deny 2 acres of drainage and vista, <br />IT’s the biggest Lakeshore lot in the area(lncludlng the town of Orono <br />and FoxhiU. .an exclusive neif^borhood, <br />k/R/T/S/U complies and^ meets every one of the objectives stated in your <br />Zone Code: <br />DENSITY Decreases DonsityjReduces(if builton) ratio of family to area <br />from 1,03 acres to 1 for 1.22 acres. <br />Drainage: Surface run-off is away from the lake flue to HIGH BLUFF <br />Lakeside on 15 also shutting out view of traffic..even'hi^ trucks. <br />Tho Fresh Water Institute likes this as uncontaminating <br />Septic Tank: Duo to extreme length of lot and conforming to rest of homes <br />back-from-Lako location without interfering with nei^bors <br />view would establish Septic Tank at anr,,. , x pP 1C lanic at approximately (over) 2.
