Michelle Olson <br /> Arden Hills Parks and Rec Manager <br /> Thank you for your letter dated November 23, 2011 regarding the parking around Floral <br /> Park. I have reviewed your proposed plan for 2012 Floral Park parking and agree that it <br /> is a more suitable solution than the present plan. However, in my view this is only a stop <br /> gap solution. The issues facing me (and I believe other homeowners in the area) is that <br /> any on street residential parking for 20 -35 automobiles 3-4 nights a week is: 1) <br /> dangerous for local pedestrians and traffic 2) disruptive to having guests at my home as <br /> there is no available parking for them. <br /> I am returning one of your aerial photos with what I believe is the best long term solution. <br /> I have hi-lighted in pink an area for off road parking. This solution solves two issues. <br /> The disruption to a residential neighborhood of on street even parking as well as the need <br /> to.repair the Floral Park tennis court surface every year or so. The trees to the east of the <br /> tennis court send their roots under the court surface and destroy it. If these trees (I <br /> believe undesirable cottonwood trees) were removed and'replaced with a parking surface <br /> we would have a win—win solution. <br /> I understand that budgets will dictate what solutions are possible but I would appreciate it <br /> if the council would consider my proposal. <br /> Respectfully Submitted, <br /> Steve Rhude <br /> 1467 Royal Lane <br /> Arden Hill, Mn .55112 <br />
