• OCT 2 1991 JOHN BUCKLEY DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND REC 1415 W HIGHWAY 96 ARDEN HILLS MN 55112 DEAR SIR, On Sept 19 1991 I received a letter from David Kriesel stating that my shed and garden is on County property. Mr Kriesel also enclosed a plot map that indicates that he is correct. In the fall of 1978 we were looking for a place to build a new home. We went out to the Chatham area and talked to the realitor for Ban Con Homes. I told him that we were looking for a large lot. The realitor showed me the lot • that l eventually bought. The realitor and Iwalked off the perimeter of the lot and he told me that it was the biggest one they had. See enclosed plot map, showing the size of lot I was told. With that in mind, I bought the lot and built on it. After the house was built Ban Con graded the entire area that I was told was mine. The area that was gra ed was cut out of the weeds and tall grass. 0'� swndi On the area in question I have planted four maple trees; I have put in a total of over 30 yards of black dirt; and t have sodded and seeded. About 10 years ago I put up a small utility shed and a garden. I certainly would not have done all of that on property that I did not feel was mine. I feel that I am community orientated: . .I have served as a cub scout leader for 3 years . .I do volunteer work at Valentine Hills School. ie. I have talked to at least 20 classes about safety. I have chaproned numberous outings. I have assisted on a school project to groom some of the trails. . .Every winter I dig the snow out from around fire hydrants. . .When Valentine Hills was having a fund raiser for new playground • equipment ($21 ,000 was the goal) I personally raised over $7,000 cash, and various door prizes. I am only pointing this out to show that I like living in Arden Hills as well as the people who live here and the school district.
