January 31, 1986 City of Roseville 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, Minnesota, S5113 This letter accompanies the application for Division of a Platted Lot submitted jointly by Norman E. and Jean V. Albrecht of 3069 W. Owasso Blvd. and Hugo N. and Dorothy M. Thompson of 3085 W. Owasso Blvd., Roseville, 55113. We seek permission to detach portions of former Lot 8 from properties owned separately by Thompsons and Albrechts, and reassemble them into one lot suitable for a single family dwelling, as shown on the attached series of four maps. Map #1 shows the initial platting of Lots 7, 8, and 9 prior to November 1965• Lot 7 was owned and occupied by Thompsons, Lot 9 by Albrechts, and the vacant Lot 8 was owned by Lowell and Leah Haas of Maquoketa, Iowa. Map #2. In November 1965, Albrechts and Thompsons purchased Lot 8 from Haas', divided it down the middle, and attached the separate halves to Lots 7 and 9 as shown in Map #2. MaP #3. On October 15, 1979► the Roseville City Council approved Albrechts' request to divide their property into two parcels by extending the straight line which separates Lots 10 and 21 northward across Lot 9 and the south half of Lot 8, as shown in Map #3. The parcel facing Mill- wood Avenue was sold on January 10, 1985, to Roger and Carol Sorenson of Roseville. Ma 4. We now wish to reassemble Lot 8, excluding the portion sold to Sorensons, and excluding a four -foot wide strip along the most southerly boundary of Lot 8 which, for reasons stated below, would remain attached to Lot 9. The resulting Lot 8 would have 71 feet of frontage on West Owasso Blvd., and approximately 18,000 square feet in area including the portion extending down to the edge of Valley Park. "Lot 9 would then be 79 feet in width. This proposal is shown in Map A. The reasons for keeping an additional four -foot strip attached to Lot 9 are as follows 1. Albrechts' house at 3069 W. Owasso Blvd. is only 6 feet from the original property line, and has an overhanging eave nearly 3 feet wide. A ladder leaning against the eave has its base in Lot 8, so that a fence, hedge, wall, or garden in the neighbor's yard along the lot line would make home maintenance difficult. Page 1 of 2 pages
