Lyle Oman , Building Official Nn» - ... ,^ <br /> City of Orono <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway <br /> Orono , Minnesota 55356 <br /> Dear Mr. Oman : <br /> I have your letter of Octo�ber 3 , 1997� and will respond to <br /> each of the issues you raised in your letter. <br /> We purchased the 1065 Linden Lane property to use as , and <br /> we do use it as , a contiguous extension of our 1067 Linden <br /> Lane homestead residence. In essence , our residence <br /> property is now four (4) acres instead of two-and-one half <br /> (2 T /2 ) acres which we first had at 1067. And, of course, <br /> it does have a principal residence on it. The 1065 property <br /> is considered as part of the homestead for real estate <br /> taxation� as shown on these two enclosed copies of the 1997 <br /> property tax statements. Incidentally, you will note that <br /> the 1065 address has been dropped from the tax statement, <br /> and it simply says , "address pending". <br /> I am puzzled about the statement that the pool is considered <br /> to be a hazard to the public and animals . The pool is <br /> fenced in and situated away from the public (and animals ). <br /> In fact , there would have to be severe trespassing for the <br /> public to even get near the pool . As I understand it, Orono <br /> ordinances do not require a pool to be fenced. Since ours <br /> is completely fenced it would appear that we have exceeded <br /> existing ordinance requirements. <br /> I am also puzzled about the mosquito breeding statement in <br /> your letter. After we purchased the 1065 property, we talked <br /> with the DNR mosquito control person who was taking mosquito <br /> egg samples in the area (on Linden Lane low areas , in the <br /> slough accross from us on County Road ��151 , and so forth ) . <br /> We asked him if the pool would be a breeding ground. He said <br /> no . He said that standing water does not breed mosquitos <br /> because mosquitos do not lay their eggs in standing water. <br /> Rather , he said , mosquitos lay their eggs in places where it <br /> is dry but will later catch and collect rain and serve to <br /> hatch mosquitos. That is why mosquitos appear a week or two <br /> -1- <br /> � � � � � 1 <br /> � <br /> � <br />
