NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS INC. July 16, 1984 Mr. Gene'Bunde 975 Beam Avenue Little Canada, Minnesota 55109 RE: Bunde Development Request File No: 758.09 - 84.24 Dear Mr. Bunde: Pursuant to our phone conversation on 11 July, I had the opportunity to review your letter of 9 July 1984 with the City staff and City Council the same evening. The conclusion of these discussions was that two alternatives exist to resolve your situation. The first would be to locate the proposed storage building on your principal property where your residence is located. As such the building would be classified as an accessory use and assuming it would conform to setback requirements, no special processing or approval would be required. The second alternative, given your mortgage and contract for deed situation, would be to file for a conditional use - planned unit development. While this is stretching the use of the PUD, it appears to be the only legal method whereby your objective can be achieved, short of actual resubdivision and combination of the properties. Under the planned unit development approach, assuming City Council approval, you would enter into a contract with the City that once the contract for deed on the landlocked parcel was paid off, you or any subsequent owner would proceed to file and record the combination with the County. As part of the contract, a registered land survey would have to be prepared.and included as a documented attachment. Mr. Chlebeck has the necessary forms for the application of the conditional use permit. This should not, however, be submitted prior to the preparation of the site survey so that it can be submitted simultaneously. Assuming you can file the application on or before 30 July, the matter will be considered by the Planning Commission on 12 August 1984. Subsequently. a public hearing on the matter would be held on 22 August. Your presence would be expected at both meetings. As I indicated to you previously, there are rational reasons for the process which is involved. An attempt to "bend" the rules to allow the initial division of land to accommodate all those involved is the basis of your present problem and likely expense. As is typically the case in these situations, in the long - 4 JUL 17 1984 CITY OF 4820 minnetonka boulevard, suite 420 minneapolis, mn 554L0120S420
