. 1) Request for Minor Subdivision and Consolidation Wc, Bruce and Kathy Haglund, purchascd the property at 3300 Lake Johanna Blvd. and are proposing to sell 20 ft. of that lakeshorc to the adjoining property owners, Scott and Diane Bronson. This proposed lot split restores land to thc Bronson lot which they were told belongcd to them whcn they purchased the lot six years ago. The previous owner of the Bronson property had pointed out an incorrect property line to them at the time of their purchase. This division seemed logical, as the orientation of the house looked directly across the 20 ft oflakcshore. The previous owner of the Haglund lot had not used her lakefront for many years and had not informed the Bronsons that they were, in fact, maintaining twenty feet of her property. Aftcr the 3300 lot was surveyed and sold last summer, the Bronsons were surprised enough by the new property line that they assumed a mistake had been made . and hired their own surveyor. Unfortunately the property line as surveyed cut across their front yard, but was the true property line. The Haglunds do not rcquirc thc full 95 feet frontage and have madc thc twenty fcct oflakeshore available to the Bronsons. Thc Bronsons will beneJit from having this property "returned", as it restores their property to its previously assumed location. Thc Haglunds would feel uncomfortable maintaining and landscaping a piece of property that runs partly across the front yard and directly into the Bronson's view of the lake. We would appreciate approval this lot split as it neither benefits nor negativcly impacts any other Arden Hills residents. It is, however, a logical solution to a misunderstanding created by the well-meaning individuals who no longer own cithcr of these properties. .
