HomeMy WebLinkAboutRe: ltr from neighbor re property City of Orono May 14,2002 PO BOX 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 To whom it may concern: I have been concerned about the property at 3400 North Share Drive for many years and have called the City several times but have never received a favorable response. The yard has never looked neat and tidy even when they were not under construction. The house has never been painted completely in one color. My main concern is with the number of families living in a single family home. The house has never been zoned or received a conditional use permit as a multiple family dwelling. The house has never been used as a multiple family dwelling until the current owners bought the property. In my opinion,the new construction is converting the property to allow two,three or maybe four families to live together. If this property ever becomes non-owner occupied the property will be over populated with three or four families living in a single-family residential area. This will decrease property values and should also decrease property taxes for the neighborhood. Which Department is responsible for enforcing the zoning laws? Can that Department take a pro- active role or does a citizen have to file a written complaint before an investigation can begin? When building plans are approved I am sure the zoning laws are considered. But I am not sure all properiy owners are given written warnings against violating zoning laws befare they spend thousands of dollars on construction. It is very difficult to enforce zoning laws after the plans are approved and the property is ccns�ru�teu as�mu!tip!e-f rrii!y d�=.�e!!;r_�. ,A pr�_active apnroach would make the owners more responsible for their actions. If zoning laws are given to owners in writing the owner should not complain about spending thousands of dollars on construction and getting caught in violation of the zoning laws. Which Department is responsible to insure all the occupants of a house belong to one family? Does anyone have the right to ask occupants to prove they are family members? I am wondering if the responsible Department could contact all of the concerned neighbors to keep us informed. Maybe we could have a meeting,or maybe we could put the issue before the City Council. I would like to remain anonymous but as a concerned citizen I expect to hear from you. �c c ILt� 0 u�, o� S-2,1-�.
