From:Tim Graff <br />To:Matthew Bachler <br />Subject:PC #17-029 <br />Date:Thursday, January 04, 2018 9:18:36 PM <br />Dear Mr. Bachler, <br />I am replying to you in regards to the upcoming public hearing for the property at 3685 New Brighton Rd on <br />January 22. I have several concerns with this proposal and a few questions. <br />The first question would be what does a partial vacation of the sanitary lift station mean. I would understand that as <br />the city would be giving up our public easement so applicant can divide up his lot. In doing so who would absorb <br />the costs involved with relocation of the lift station and what would said costs be? It looks as though there would be <br />a lot of cost incurred with the removal and replacement of water lines and water drainage. <br />My utmost concern with doing this and building on that land would be the effects this would have on the wetlands <br />behind that property and my property. It is very important to my family that this is preserved at all cost. <br />If any of these costs would be past on to Arden Hills residents, I feel there would be better use of these monies. For <br />example, a path could be built so that the 30+ kids in the neighborhood could safely access Perry Park along the <br />high speed New Brighton Rd. <br />My family has been in this neighborhood for 2.5 years now and the appeal of our lot on the west side of New <br />Brighton Rd was the size and the nature. I feel dividing up these amazing lots only to cram more houses in takes the <br />uniqueness and appeal out of it for future buyers of lots and especially for current residents. <br />Please advise me on defining partial vacation and what cost my neighbors and I would incur with the proposed <br />building. I would also like to know the environmental impacts of any plans. <br />Thanks, <br />Tim Graff <br />Sent from my iPhone
