• Make Elk River a "complete" place: The division of "Garden Lot" will help ensure that Elk River <br />continues to be a "complete" city by maintaining the diverse character of the city that continues <br />to attract and retain both residents and businesses. <br />This simple lot split, creating two smaller lots from the existing "Garden Lot," is a necessary and unique <br />situation because the Stritesky property was not platted thus preventing a simple property line <br />adjustment. As shown on the original 1960 plat map, Orono Lake Addition was created and platted with <br />exception to the property now owned by the Striteskys. We have not been able to find any further <br />details for this exception; it may have involved the future realignment of the roads adjoining the <br />Stritesky property. <br />We have discussed this simple lot split with Sherburne County Auditor/Treasurer, Diane Arnold; she has <br />told us that she has no concerns with this proposal. <br />In closing, we would like to emphasize that this approved variance with covenants recorded on the <br />property deed stating that the parcel is not -buildable unless platted as a conforming lot or combined <br />with an adjacent parcel, will ensure that the property will be maintained as it is today, as a natural green <br />space. This space will allow for our families to garden and safely enjoy the outdoor environment. The <br />essential character of the property will not be altered. <br />On behalf of ourselves and our neighbors, we would like to thank you for your consideration of this <br />matter. We look forward to your favorable response and the opportunity for us to move ahead with <br />implementing this split for the benefit of all parties. If you have any questions, or if you need additional <br />information, please contact us. <br />Thank you, <br />Sincerely, <br />Eric and Elizabeth Toth <br />
