Lee Harren <br />175 Landmark Drive <br />Long Lake, MN 55356 <br />CITY of ORONO <br />Post Office Box 66 • Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 • Municipal Offices --- <br />On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka <br />April 12, 1991 <br />Re: City Property Adjacent to Outlot A, Bayside Landing <br />Dear Mr. Harren: <br />City Administrator Mark Bernhardson has requested that I <br />research and respond to your questions regarding the issue of a <br />lake access corridor near Outlot A, Bayside Landing. After a <br />review of documents in City files, I have concluded that the City <br />has a 30' corridor of property immediately adjacent to Outlet A, <br />Bayside Landing, lying between Outlot A and the Rowlette <br />property. A survey/plat compilation of the area is attached for <br />your review. <br />Pub lie Works Director John Gerhard son informs me that <br />although this corridor exists between the lake and the County <br />road, it is not a "designated" access. Any approval for actual <br />use of that corridor as an access to the lake would have to be <br />approved by the Public Works Department. <br />Note that the relocation of this "alley" occured in the mid- <br />1970s, and resulted from an encroachment of the Rowlette's <br />house (then owned by Thomas Betz) upon a previously existing <br />north/south alley called Lake Street. In deed transfers approved <br />by the City in 1976, Andrew and Nellie Miner were deeded portions <br />of Lake Street south of a prescribed "Line B". The Rowlette <br />property is described as being northeast of a line parallel with <br />and 30' northeasterly of said Line B. The 30' gap was intended <br />to remain as City property to replace the pre-existing <br />north/south Lake Street corridor. <br />An interesting point is that while the platting of Bayside <br />Landing and the tax description of Rowlette's property both <br />exclude this 30' corridor, the current Hennepin County plat maps <br />contain inconsistencies with al 1 the other documentation. City <br />staff will be contacting the County to attempt to have the plat <br />maps corrected. <br />BUILDING & ZONING -473-7357 <br />ASSESSING • ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE -473-7358 <br />FAX -473-0510 • PUBLIC WORKS -473-7359
