Ahern <br /> 7839 12th Avenue South <br /> Minneapolis, MN 55425 <br /> Re: Illegal Dock on Tract U,RLS No. 192 <br /> Dear Mr Ahern: <br /> It has come to the attention of the City that you have installed a dock on a small lot you own near <br /> the intersection of County Roads 15 and 51. <br /> The Orono Zoning Code since 1968 has prohibited the construction and use of accessory structures <br /> (including docks) without a principal structure on the property (See Section 10.03, Subd. 9(A) <br /> attached). Your dock on Tract U is illegal, and must be removed immediately. If it is not removed <br /> by August 1, 1997 the City will vigorously pursue its removal. <br /> This small lot contains no principal residence structure and there is no possibility that one could be <br /> constructed due to the small lot size and proximity to the lake. Further, you no longer own the <br /> property in Bay Ridge which historically provided the principal structure to which a dock on the lake <br /> side of Co. Rd. 15 would be accessory. <br /> I would refer you to a recent similar situation in which the Minnesota Court of Appeals upheld the <br /> City of Orono's right to enforce this ordinance (Richard Stodola vs City of Orono, 1994). <br /> If you have any questions,please contact me at 473-7357. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> �� /��-� <br /> �:� <br /> Michael P.
