LAW OFFICES OF RICHARD F. CARLSON, JR. ~-!d--q~ OFFICE ADDRESS 2785 White Bear Avenue Suite 408 Maplewood, Minnesota 55109 Phone (612) 777-3633 Fax (612) 777-5973 August 12, 1998 Mr. Dennis Welch City of Roseville Community Development Dept. 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, MN 55113 Dear Mr. Welch: I spoke with you last week regarding the concern of a client of mine as to the structure on his property which encroaches onto his neighbor I s land. While 1: carl::':;~. identify iny client, at: this time, I do have two questions, the answers to which will dictate the course of action that I will need to follow. I appreciate the discussion you had with me as to the necessity of having any proposed easement or lot split (assuming one can be negoti'at,ed) approved by your office. Certainly, the appropriate course of action will be taken once an agreement is made between {the parties. However, I need to know what the present offset ~ requirements are between a structure (in this instance, part of a 7' house) and a driveway on the adjoining lot, and same structure and a garage on the adjoining lot. Certainly, I have to first determine whether there would be sufficient room to provide for a lot split in consideration of the configuration of the driveway and garage of my client I s neighbor. Please provide me with this information, and feel free to call if it is more convenient. Secondly, if we determine that there is not sufficient room under present offset requirements, I would need to know whether there is any alternative other than tearing down the encroaching structure. Certainly, all of this assumes that my client and his neighbor would be able to reach an agreement, but it serves no useful purpose to do so until we know that their agreement would ultimately be approved. Thank you, again, for your previous courtesies, and forward to hearing from you at your first opportunity. you. I look Thank Ri ard F. Carlson, Jr. RFC:akc CC: M/M Ron Dolle
