McClelland 2170 Minnetonka Avenue North P.O. Box 45 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 July 10, 2001 Dear Mr. McClelland: It has come to our attention the fence along the south lot line of your property located at 2170 Nlinnetonka Avenue has not been relocated to come into conformance «-ith the City's local ordinances. Last year on, July 24, 2000 the property was inspected where it«�as discovered a new fence had been constructed in approximately the same location as a fence that had been removed. Although the City of Orono does not require permits for fences,new fences and replacement fences are required to meet the current requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. To review the issue for you, south of your property there is a 33' wide platted right of way that separates your property from the lot to the south. The 33'is an extension of Minnetonl:a Avenue and is o�rned by the City of Orono. Your fence appears to be located approximatelv 1 '/z feet outside of your property lines onto the public right of way for Minnetonka Avenue. In addition, the Zonin� Ordinance does not permit new fences over 3 %z feet in height to be located within 50 feet of a property line adjacent to a street. Your new fence measures an average height of 6 feet, where only 3 % feet is permitted. The City of Orono is requiring the fence to be removed from the public right of way and reduced in height to 3 '/z feet,or to relocate the fence to meet a minimum 50 foot setback from the south lot line. The City of Orono had originally established a deadline of August 21, 2000 to relocate or remove the fence, it has been nearly one year and the fence has not been relocated. If you do request to maintain a fence at its current height a variance approval process is required. A variance requires an application be made to the City of Orono. A deadline has been established of August 22, 2001 to either bring the fence in question into conformance with local ordinances or you to file a complete variance application request. , I have included a copy of the earlier letter mailed to you, dated July 2�,2000.
