Dear Sir:
On November 30, I received a letter from Mike Scheller requesting
that I apply for a permit for the pond constructed on my lot with Mr.
Scheller's verbal assurance. Since Mr. Winchell (who is adjoining)
and I have the same problem we had already determined that I would
do the legal investigation required for both of us by the rather complex
situation. I enclose a preliminary letter from our attorney on the
subject.
Mr. Winchell and I selected Ed Montgomery to delve into this for us
because of his forty so-ne years of experience with Municipal Zoning.
For many years Mr. Montgomery was the city attorney for St. Louis
Park and has been and is connected _n a similar capacity with several
smaller villages.
Even though Mr. Montgomery has spent c lerable time going over
the Orono ordinances, I am sure that he u, s A feel the invesitgation
has been as complete as it should be, particularily in view of the fact
that there could be civil liability involved. An in depth examination
would require the examination of council minutes and other research
that neither Mr. Montgomery or Mr. Winchell or myself have had time
fo r.
Even though Mr. Winchell and f wish to cooperate in every gray with
the council, we must beg for an extension of time as required _n Mr.
Scheller's letter for the following reasons:
1. The technical requirements set out in the application form
could not be completed within the time span set out under
the letter.
