On June 7, 2002 we sent a letter to Mr. Farnes regarding his new septic system that he put in. The septic system that was put in on Deering Island was not permitted or inspected by the City of Orono. The septic does not meet code in several areas. Now that the property has changed hands it is your responsibility to get the septic system up to code. Please give me a call so that we can get this matter taken care of at 952-249-4600.

I have replaced Matt Bolterman as the septic person for the City of Orono. I am not completely familiar with all the circumstances surrounding the septic system on the island. Maybe that's not such a bad thing. I am of the understanding that you do want to get the problem resolved though. I would greatly appreciate a phone call from you to discuss what's next. Please contact me by August 10`h, 2005. I do expect to hear from you. My direct line is 952-249-4626. Sincerelv, -� �� ' ;� � :�-_.� � ; , , � �. , ��.��, ��..��.. �� _�---� Willie Gibbs R.S.

Byrd : I have your letter of February 23 , 1981 advising that the construction of the new septic system for Mr . Swift has been completed. We had the nremises inspected today, (February 24th) and we find that the construction is complete and in order . There is one problem. The toilet does not work. Mr . I�oward DeSmidt , who inspected the prer;lises , says that water appears to be plumbed to the toilet , but that there is no water runnin� into the toilet. He searched around and tried to find a valve that perhaps was inadvertently shut off , but he could not find one. I am utterly dismayed that after you had made the effort and incurred the expense to have a man out there , and installed a septic system, that you would allow him to leave the premises and not have the toilet worlcin� . I attemnted to ca11 your home after learning this from Mr. DeSmidt , but did not get an answer . I recall that you advised you were going to Arizona, but that someone would be at your home to respond to these problems . Perhaps the problem with the toilet was totally inadvertent or an oversight by your plumbing and septic man. ��hatever , it does nothing ro give any peace of mind to Mr . Swif_t or Mr . Howard DeSmidt , and it does a great deal to try my patience . j__. �.._ , ._ . . ` � ; � � ; . � , Mr. Wayne E .

NAGEL� OLSOII, NELSON, NAGEL & DRANGE - �� - — TDN/slh cc : Mr . Howard neSmidt Route l, Box 117 �-� Cologne , Minnesota 55322 � TO: W. R. Benson, City Administrator FROM: Alan P. Olson, City Planner DATE : November 12 , 1982 SUBJECT: Phone Call Received Regarding Deering Island A Larry Schlossinger called me today saying he had talked to Mary Butler who referred him to me . He "has a chance to buy Deering Island" and would like to develop it with a summer-season restaurant . What does he need to get approval? I asked a lot of questions and he had few answers . He did not know size of facility, number of docks , where parking would be , etc. He said it would be a "high class" aesthetic development, which would add tax base , etc . He said they would be needing multiple docks (unknown how many) and would have a ferry service from an unknown parking lot location. They would have off-duty police and built-in fire protection. He did not want to spend a lot of money on plans etc , until he knew the City would approve . He would do it the way the City wants. My reply: Based on long-standing City policy, Comprehensive Plan and ordinances, including revisions of island zoning now being completed, Orono has discouraged development on the islands except for low density seasonal residential cabins, etc. He would be asking for something entirely new and contrary to past �olicies ; therefore , based on past precedent, I do not think his restaurant idea would be approved. But he has the right to present his ideas and make a case for how his restaurant would fit in. Orono always listens to new ideas . His would be an uphill battle and burden would be on him to convince Council to make necessary changes. He would be asking for : l . Comprehensive Plan amendment 2 . Rezoning from residential to commercial 3 . Plan approval based on detailed technical specifications Council could turn him down at any point. Council could not give final approval , and probably not even conceptual approval, until all questions were answered. . Deering Island November 12 , 1982 Page 2 I said that he did have a right to approach the Council with his conceptual ideas to get their reaction, but not to expect a commitment. I also said that before he even approaches the Couizcil, he should do his own homework to better define the scope of his project (50 seats or 500?) and how he would propose handling parking,dockage , sewage , fire , police , garbage , etc . and to put those ideas down in a letter form that I could put on their agenda. I said for him to do this work and then come in and talk with me at which point we would discuss a date for a Council appearance. (:.I`iY UF ORONO Y DFF2��1G .i�,"' � ISLAND P:iuTUS � .

We have begun the review and will contact you again before the application is forwarded for action by the Planning Commission and City Council . You stated that the septic system was repaired in 1982 . We have no record of a permit as required for such work and you didn ' t specify what may have been done . We do know the system was discharging to the surface in June of 1982 and that Mr . Swift was not even using the toilet at that time . We will have to be sure this problem is satisfactorily cor- rected before the conditional use permit is considered . Perhaps you can supply more information to us . Also, you do not indicate whether or not a telephone is existing on the island. This is important for emergency communication . Please advise . Sincer,,ely �A j /!/ �, / A �n P .

"j�� ,�� . ^` f: , .s�`., ` � _ • . �i i . TO: Walter R. Benson & Big Island Files FROM: Alan P . Olson, City Planner DATE : August 3 , 1983 SUBJECT : Site Inspection of Big Island & Deering Island Tom Jacobs , Mike Gaffron and I toured the islands on the morning of Auqust 3 , 1983 . Veteran ' s Camp : We met with camp manager Mark Peterson and toured thc whole property . The camp was fully operating with about 70 campers plus staff . Generally everything looked very neat and much improved over past visits . Later in that day they were to be visited by about 60 legislative , veteran ' s affairs and regional park people . We did not become involved in that meeting . l . Dock license : 3 docks in place and used for camp boats and transient boats totalling about 6-8 slips . Also near Point Charming was another dock with 2 large power boats obviously stored for an extended period of time (I understand the cabin located there is occupied by one couple every year for almost the whole summer) . 2 . Beer license : No beer is being sold at the camp and there was no evidence of any on the property . 3 . Cigarette license : Some sales of cigarettes are ' on-going. Peterson said the license application was being held until he got an insurance certificate for workman ' s comp . He was told that sales were illegal until he had a license approved. 4 . Dumps : The one dump on the hill has been removed and the area cleaned up satisfactorily. The dump � near the lakeshore hasn ' t been touched - it is still in place as it has been since before 1976 . (It also hasn ' t be�n used for at least that long) . Peterson inquired about getting a permit to bury this dump and was told absolutely not, that it must be dug up and hauled off the island like the other one . He said he needed time . He was told that there had been too many broken promises including one by Jerry Donlin that the dump would be gone before the camp opened for the 1983 season. Last word is that it was to be cleaned up by labor day. . Big Island & Deering Island Inspection August 3 , 1983 Page 2 5 . Garbage : All garbage is c'ollected and barged to a large dumpster the camp maintains at Excelsior docks . 6 . Junk : Much, much junk has been removed from the island with minor amounts remaining, including at least one old truck body near the caretaker ' s house . 7e Old Buildings: Most have been cleared of junk . Only the dormitory was boarded up, and that had been broken-into . The smaller buildings remain open and hazardous . 8 . Dormitory renovation : Peterson said that they were planning on "fixing-up" the old dormitory this fall for rental purposes next year . He was advised not to touch the building (except to board it up) until he submitted plans and received appropriate building permits . Further , he was advised that makinq the building conform to current codes would mean many changes , probably including 1) frost tootings ; 2) new bedroom windows; 3) new exits and stairs; 4) fire separations fire doors and fire protection systems ; 5) new wiring; 6) new plumbing and septic systems . 9 . Cabins : All cabins are supplied with smoke detectors , with fire extinquishers available every third cabin . 10 . Dining Hall : We discussed minimum fire code improvements including 1) marking of exits ; 2) clearing and opening of two exits on the north side ; 3) provision of at least 2�20� fire extinguishers; 4 ) fire separation of combustible storage rooms . 11 . Fuel Tank: RemovalCor code-approved filling� of unused qasoline tank required. 12 . Fish Houses : Upon leaving the camp we discovered about 8-10 or more nearly identical fish houses stored near the caretaker' s cabin . We don ' t know what this means . Wavzata Yacht Club : We were told by Wayzata Yacht Club that they no longer used their big island property and therefore they did not apply for a license this year . They said they couldn ' t meet our code reauirements for toilets , etc . Well , the cove "formerly" used by them is plastered with brand new "�ayzata Yacht Club" and "Private Beach" siqns , the picnic table is painted and the activity there is very much as it always has been. We will be contacting them for an explanation . ' f Big Island & Deering Island Inspection August 3 , 1983 Page 3 Remaining Big Island: The cabins look very good and clean. Absolutely no evidence of dumping or any other activity like that . We did find one new sauna built right on the shore without permits and one or two new decks or stairs which we will follow up . Deering Island: Inspected the house with Art� Swift . He still complains that the owner Wayne Byrd is not providing code improvements as reauired in his sale to Byrd. We found 1) a "septic tank" installed last year by a Mound resident without permits, non-conforming and non-functioning. Swift still carries his bodily wastes out of the house by hand and deposits th�m on his garden. 2) Plumbing work done without permit and not to code , includinq an exterior above-ground line to the new " septic tank" . 3) A new electric furnace installed without permits - no contractor ' s name mxt evidence . 4) No change in plumbing or wiring hazards . We will follow through to correct, or issue tags if necessary . . SPENCER G.

Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 RE: Deerings Island Dear Ms. Mabusth: In our recent telephone conversation, I identified myself as the attorney for Arthur Swift who lives on Deerings Island. When Arthur Swift sold the island Dwayne Byrd, he reserved for himself a life estate interest in the property. The legal effect of Arthur Swift's life estate is that he has the right to full and exclusive possession of the island until he dies. Dwayne Byrd and Arthur Swift entered into an agreement, a copy of which I have enclosed. In the agreement, Dwayne Byrd assumed the responsibility to repair and maintain the property in compliance with local building codes. In the second to the last paragraph, Arthur Swift was given a lien on the property "to secure performance by Dwayne Byrd of the obligations. . .assumed by him under. . . the agreement." In my opinion, the lien rights of Arthur Swift constitute an equitable mortgage which may be foreclosed if Dwayne Byrd defaults in the terms of the agreement. An equitable mortgage is not the usual type of mortgage with which most people are familiar. Foreclosure is much more complicated and takes a great deal longer. It is, nevertheless, the intention of my client to commence that mortgage foreclosure proceeding. Hopefully, the mortgage foreclosure will force Dwayne Byrd to live up to his agreement and make the necessary improvements and repairs to bring the property up to city code. Jean Mabusth November 1 , 1983 Page 2 I will be looking for your letter setting forth all of the items that must be done to bring the property in compliance with your code. I will need this letter before I can commence my mortgage foreclosure action. Thank you for your patience in pressing your claims. I will keep you posted regarding progress of the mortgage foreclosure action. In the meantime, if you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call me.
