Dear Mr. Graff:
CITY of ORONO
Post Office Box 66 • Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 • Municipal Offices
On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka
February 15, 1991
At the Orono Council's meeting of February 11, 1991, Council
approved the enclosed resolution. The Council agreed to recind
the original condition of resolution f2877 that would require the
owner of Lot 2, Block 1, Byfield, Maureen Steele Bellows, to make
certain land alterations within the existing access serving that
lot. Such actions were deemed unnecessary by the City Engineer,
the Building and Zoning Administrator and the Public Works
Director.
Please let me know if there is other inf orrnation or action
that will be necessary on the part of the City to finalize this
rather long, drawn out process for Ms. Bellows.
Sincerely,

Resolution
Please review the enclosed correspondence from Ms. Bellows
and the legal counsel for owner of Lot 1, Byfield. Staff has
drafted another resolution amending a previous Council action.
It would appear that this would be the most expedient way to
respond to the concerns of Mr. Pihlstrom. Note the resolution
has included the necessary findings for the rescinding.of the
original condition in Resolution #2877.

RE: Maureen Bellows and Lot 1, Block 1, Byfield and Lot 2,
Block 1, Byfield
Dear Mr. Graff:
As you will recall, I am general counsel to John Morrison with
respect to the above matter. Mr. Morrison recently entered into an
agreement with Maureen Bellows respecting the pr6perty described
above~-· As part of that agreement, Mr. Morrison was deeded Lot 1,
Block 1, Byfield, Hennepin County, Minnesota and Ms. Bellows
continues to own Lot 2. Originally under city of Orono Resolution
#1985, the city council approved the final plat for a two lot
subdivision for these two particular lots. That particular
resolution provided that these two lots have a shared driveway
access and was a condition to the split of the parcel into two
lots. At the time of the agreement between Maureen Bellows and
John Morrison, the parties decided that it would be in everyone's
best interest to have a separate access at County Road 146 for each
of these two particular lots. That, of course, necessitated an
amendment to Resolution #1985 from the City of Orono.
The City of Orono i~sued Resolution #2877 (copy enclosed) which
amended Resolution #1985 and allowed for two separate accesses for
Lot 1 and Lot 2, Block 1, Byfield, subject to certain terms and
conditions. As you can see from the enclosed Resolution #2877,
this required the owner of Lot 2 (Maureen Bellows) to obtain a land
alteration permit for the purpose of upgrading the existing access
to Lot 2, as well as providing a filling and grading plan to be
approved by the city engineer. The access improvements were to be
completed by December 1, 1990.
Maureen Bellows did not apply for or obtain a land alteration
permit nor did she provide a filling and grading plan to be
FAX (612) 542-8617
approved by the city engineer. Instead, she went to the public
works director, John R. Gerhardson, who reviewed the site in person
and provided to Ms. Bellows a letter dated November 26, 1990 (a
copy of which is enclosed).
As you can see, it appears that the public works director
determined that additional filling or raising of the existing
driveway at Lot 2 would not be practical because of limitations and
space. This letter does not, however, constitute a resolution of
the city council of Orono which would allow for two separate
driveway accesses to County Road 146 for Lots 1 and 2 as
contemplated by both Ms. Bellows and John Morrison.
Would you please consider assisting Ms. Bellows in obtaining
another City of Orono resolution further amending Resolution #1985
which eliminates the first three sentences of section 1, page 2, of
Resolution #2877? It would then be clear that the owner of Lot 1
will be entitled to receive a separate driveway access to County
Road #146 so long as the owner of Lot 2 maintains all shrubs at
three feet height or less within an area located between the
traveled road and the utility pole, and the future owner and
developer of Lot 1 obtains an access permit from the Hennepin
Department of Transportation prior to application for a building
permit for new residential construction on Lot 1. Unfortunately,
I do not believe Ms. Bellows understands the legal necessity to
receive such a resolution in order to ensure that the owners of Lot
1 and Lot 2 will, in fact, be able to receive a separate driveway
access to each lot. It is my opinion that as things stand now, Ms.
Bellows has not complied with Resolution #2877 making it impossible
to get a permit for a separate driveway for Lot 1.
In addition, I would like to be kept advised as to any progress you
make in obtaining from the City of Orono an additional amendment to
Resolution #1985 clarifying this matter. Thank you for your
cooperation.
If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to
call me.
t uly yours,

Dear Ms. Bellows:
Post Office Box 66 • Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 • Municipal Offices
On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka
November 26, 1990
Per Council's direction, I have met with you on site in
order to determine a need for additional improvements to the
existing access for the purpose of increasing or improving the
level of safety in the use of your access drive.
As I advised at the site, additional filling or raising of
the existing drive would not be practical because of the
limitations in space, but found that the existing vegetation had
been trimmed at the access to accommodate the required sighting
at 40 MPH speed.
Please contact my office if you have any further questions
concerning this matter.

and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Orono has
adopted subdivision regulations for the orderly, economic and
safe development of land within the City; and
WHEREAS, on April 28, 1986 the City Council granted
final plat approval of a two-lot subdivision application of
Maureen S. Bellows (hereinafter the "subdivider") for a plat
known as the Byfield plat; and
WHEREAS, the City Counci 1 has considered a request of
the subdivider that would seek to amend a condition of plat
approval that would require a shared driveway access for Lot 1
and Lot 2, Byfield and has asked for separate accesses at County
Road 146; and
WHEREAS, the Council has considered the written
comments of the Hennepin County Department of Transportation and
the written and oral comments of staff and noting the following
findings:
1. The Byfield plat provided 509 lineal feet of frontage
along County Road 146. Lots 1 and 2, Byfield satisfied the
required lot width to the rear of the front yard setback
area at 200'+ each.
2. The Byfield plat did not require variances to the
standards of the RR-lB, rural residential zoning district.
3. There is already an existing driveway access approved by
Hennepin County that serves Lot 2.
4. There is adequate sighting distance based on the 40 MPH
allowed speed for County Road 146 to provide safe access to
Lot 1.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
Orono, Minnesota hereby approves an amendment of Resolution #1985
that granted approval of the Byfield plat that would allow
single/separate accesses to Lots 1 and 2, Byfield, Hennepin

Subject: Request by owner of Byfield Plat to amend original
final subdivision approval that would require shared
access by both Lots 1 and 2 -255/265 Brown Road South
List of Exhibits
Exhibit A -Resolution
Exhibit B -Plat of Byfield
Exhibit C -Staff Memos to Planning Commission & Council
Exhibit D -Hennepin County Letter of August 9, 1990
Review of Request -
The owners no longer propose to build a new home on Lot 1
and have offered the property for sale. A perspective buyer
seeks separate access rather than a shared one with Lot 2.
In reviewing the staff memos and the application file,
Exhibit C, there is no record of a report from Hennepin County
requiring a shared access. It would appear that the developer
had preliminary discussions with the County concerning the use of
a shared access because of their concern with the potential
hazards posed in use of the existing access serving their
residence. As the future residents of Lot 1, they would have had
no problem in the installation and use of a shared access.
In a recent letter from the County (Exhibit D), the County
staff advised that it is a matter really for the City to decide
if a shared access will be required as the existing house already
has an approved curb cut/access. The report also identifies
specific sighting problems of existing access.
Staff has reviewed the access on site. We are concerned
with visibility of the access from the County road and the
sighting problems that result with exiting property from the
vegetation that has grown out into the right-of-way of the
County road. Upon preliminary review staff would recommend that
the shrubs be trimmed back in line with telephone poles and that
stopping area adjacent to the street right-of-way be raised so
that cars traveling north at 40 MPH can see a car waiting to
approach the public road. Prior to the Council meeting, staff
will ask Glenn Cook to review the existing access within Lot 2 to
determine if there may be other ways to make the existing
approach safer.
Byfield Plat
September 6, 1990
Page 2
As for the City staff (Public Works Director and Zoning
Administrator), we see no problem with separate accesses for both
sites. There is 509 lineal feet of frontage along County road
right-of-way. The subdivision did not involve lot width
variances. There is already an existing driveway access approved
by the County. Safe access to Lot 1 will be no problem as
sighting becomes easier as you move northward towards the Luce
Line.
Staff would recommend approval of the owners request for
single separate accesses to Lots 1 and 2 subject to the current
owner completing specific improvements to the existing access
within Lot 2 to improve sighting.
Council Action
To provide staff with conceptual direction so that an
appropriate resolution can be presented to Council for formal
action at their upcoming meeting. This resolution would amend the
original resolution that approved the plat of Byfield (Resolution
1985).

Re: Access to CSAH 146
Maureen:
As we discussed, driveway access is assured to the vacant parcel at 255
South Brown Road (CSAH 146). Access to any County State Aid Highway
(CSAH) cannot be denied unless the right of access has been purchased or
alternate access, such as a city street or private road, is available.
We do try to limit .county road access in the interest of safety and
efficiency, and in this case would strongly encourage eliminating the
existing driveway at 265 due to the limited sight distance, and having a
shared entrance with 255. These driveways would split at the common
property corner so no encroachment would occur, therefore relieving any
easement requirement.
However, since the properties are already split, only the City of Orono
can make this requirement; Hennepin County can only recommend.
Please call with any further questions.
Sincerely,
1Lc---
