The City requires that the deck be removed ar a variance must be obtained in order bring the property into compliance. A variance application is enclosed and a meeting with City staff is required prior to submittal. Please remove the deck or complete the application and schedule a meeting with me prior to December 13, 2004 to avoid legal action by the City. Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated.

Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 Re: Deck at 3635 North Shore Drive Our File No. 56057-1 Dear Ms. Curtis: This office represents Catherine M. Sallas, the owner of 3635 North Shore Drive. This letter is in response to yours of October 28 to Ms. Sallas wherein you notified her that a deck constructed by a previous owner on the property she now owns is in violation of city codes. You had enclosed a copy of a letter to the previous owner informing that owner of the necessity for a building permit and that there were "zoning violations with the deck." In neither letter, however, are the specific code and/or zoning violations specified. I stopped by your office last week to review the file. Other than the permit record and copies of permits and the communication with the former owner, I found no reference to notification of specific building code or zoning violations. In order for us to fully evaluate the variance procedure which is an apparent option for our client, would you please provide me with information concerning specific violations of the zoning and/or building code(s)? We want to fully evaluate all options before proceeding. I look forward to receiving the requested information and to scheduling a meeting as you proposed in your October 281etter. Ms.Melanie Curtis December 10,2004 Page 2 of 2 Thank you for your continued cooperation as we attempt to address the present situation. Respectfully, /kjy/ ?�arC,�. 2'eager Karl J.

Sallas /1186567.1 Lyle Oman From: Brad Olson [bolson�visi.com] Sent: Monday, October 25, 2004 11:26 AM To: Lyle Oman Subject: 3635 North Shore Drive(neighbors) Hello Lyle, I may have misunderstood or am confused, but I was under the impression from our conversation a couple of weeks ago that there was a possibility of us (Olson's at 3645 North Shore Drive) , receiving notification of a variance for 3635. Here's my concern: we are obviously VERY much opposed to their invasive deck remaining on the property and feel the sooner it can be dealt with, the better for all parties concerned (Mark Welch at 3625 is also opposed to the deck) . Kathy (the owner of 3635) is working night and day on the property and after talking with her, it's not clear if she's going to rent out the property or sell it. I 'm assuming no one wants the complication of this property changing hands again with an "out of code" deck. Please let me know the City of Orono's plan and what, if any, help you need.

Dear Ms. Sallas: This letter is to follow up a meeting held at the City offices on December 15, 2004 regarding a roof-top deck on your property at 3635 North Shore Drive in violation of City Codes. It was my understanding that as a result of the above mentioned meeting you would file a request for after-the-fact average lakeshore setback and lake setback variances for the deck. The deadline of January 19, 2005 for submittal of an application for the February 22"d Planning Commission meeting has passed. To date, the deck remains in violation of City Code Sections 78-1279(1) and (6). The City requires that the deck be removed or a variance must be obtained in order bring the property into compliance. Please remove the deck or submit a variance application no later than 12:00 noon on February 23, 2005 to avoid legal action by the City. Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated.
