Attachment A: New Information },�bru.�; t �, ?;)(3"7 To: The City �� Raseville Att�: Mr Bryan Llo}�cl, Ass�aiut� C:it� i'la�ner 2660 Civic Center Dr Roseville, M?�I 55113 Dear Mr Llovd - This letter and the attached documents are in preparation far the Peb 26, 2007 Roseville City Council meeting. Thomas McDaniel originally fled an appeal to a Variance Board decision, which was presenfed and reviewed at the Oct 23, 2006 City Council meeting. At the Oct 23 meeting, the Council decision was to grant a continuation to further clarify the conflicting dat� that was presented at that time. The points below will hapefully clarify the somewhat complicated situation. Original Property Situation The MeDaniel's purchased the lot at 527 Owasso Hills Dr in 1996. At this time the outlot area behind the building area consisted of two distinct ponds and a"wetland" area. The t�tio ponds were specifically constructed when the neighborhood was developed for storm water retention. The "wetland" azea between the ponds was partially on our property. We were properly informed that the wetland existed on the property and of the 50 foot setback requirement. Fn fact, when the property was purchased, a form was signed to document the acknowledgement of the wetland and the 50 foot setback requirements. Original Wetland Boundary There were two drawings presented to the McDaniel's during the lot purchase and home build processes which documented the borders of the property and the wetland location. One was the platt drawing used by the Developer (and all three builders) within the Owasso Hills neighborhood. The other was the formal Certificate of Survey for the property at 527 Owasso Hills. These two drawings (attached) are consistent in terms of delineating the original wetland boundary in the northwest corner of the 527 property. According to these two drawings, the closest wetland boundary would be at least 75 feet from the proposed 250 sq ft addition to the existing home. Roseville City Staff presented another drawing showing the wettand boundary (attached). This version is verv inconsistent with the other two documents mentioned and shows a much larger wetland. This drawing was generated by an architectural firm (Schoell Madson) in 1995. Per ihe Schoell Madson drawing, the wetland area is so large that the existing home at 527 Owasso Hills is basically right up against the 50 foot setback. So, as highlighted in the Oct 23, 2006 City Council meeting, there remains conflicting data relative to the original "wetland" boundary. Attachment A: Page 1 of 9
