On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka March 20, 1989 Gerry Kleckner 1755 Concordia Street Wayzata, MN 55391 Re: Connection of Cabin to Sewer and Water Dear Mr. Kleckner: Thank you for your letter of March 14 , 1989. I have reviewed our files regarding sewer and water assessments and find that your property was assessed for two municipal water units, and was assessed front footage for the municipal sewer lines. If the City Council ultimately was to approve conversion of your existing cabin to a guest house use, your connection charges for connection to City water would be merely the cost of a Fermit and water meter (currently totaling about $150.00) in addition to whatever you are charged by your Flumber for actually making the connection to the City water main. Your sewer connection costs would include a $225.00 sewer unit charge Flus the Sewer Availability Charge assessed by the Metropolitan Waste Control Commissicn, which currently is $�75.00 , plus whatever your contractor charges to physicaliy make the connection. There were two sewer stubs provided to your property (as-built map attachec�) when the sewer was constructed. Regarding the use of the cabin as a guest house, I ha�e enclosed a copy of the conditional use Fermit apFlication, and the aFproFriate code sections. I must advise you that both the lot width and lot area of your property would agpear to bE substandard for a guest house unit, since the City's hi�toric agF-rawa 1�- of - such uscs re�uires that the guest house struct�lre be loc�ted on a property twice as large as that needed for a singl� residencc�. I� effect, a secon� 1/� a�r� is normatl� required in order to h�.ve a guest ?�cuse where the zoning district requires 1/2 acre for the pr�.rcipal r�sidentie cn t�e- FroFerty. Sirc� your lot i.s in a 1/2 acre zoning distr�ct and . is ju��t Y�arely 1/2 acre in actual area, variances would be required in o�aer for. the Ccu-nci ? to grant your cc�nditional use permit. There i� cextainly no c�uarantee that your application would be approved, and the h.istazy. r�f- su�h re�ueGts ir. the City sug�ests that you might he wasting your tim�. However, the past payme�t for a seccnd water unit �n� t.he� fa.ct that the b�ailding i� alreaay there, may h�ve a positive bearinc� on yr�ar �p�l�cation.
