<br /> . <br /> . <br /> . <br /> TO: THE ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL <br /> FROM: WALTER W. BENJAMIN <br /> 1605 OAK AVENUE <br /> RE: PROPOSED ASSESSMENT FOR THE STORM SEWER ON A PRIVATE ROAD <br /> ABUTTING OAK AVENUE. <br /> DATE: AUGUST 23, 1990 <br /> I WILL BE ON VACATION ON AUGUST 27 AND THUS UNABLE TO ATTEND THE <br /> COUNCIL MEETING DEALING WITH THE PROPOSED ASSESSMENT. ENCLOSED IS <br /> A COPY OF MY MEMO TO YOU DATED MAY 29, 1989. PLEASE CONSIDER AGAIN <br /> THE THREE POINTS MADE THEREIN. I STILL STAND BY WHAT I WROTE THEN. <br /> IN UPDATING MY CRITICISM OF THIS ASSESSMENT, LET ME INDICATE THAT <br /> I BELIEVE YOUR FORMER ARDEN CITY ENGINEER MADE SOME INVALID <br /> CALCULATIONS REGARDING YARD RUN-OFF. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT ONLY <br /> A FRACTION OF MY FRONT YARD DRAINS INTO OAK AVENUE. INDEED, I HAVE <br /> MY YARD AERATED (CORED) EVERY YEAR TO HOLD AS MUCH WATER ON THE <br /> GRASS AS POSSIBLE. SOME OF MY NEIGHBORS WHOSE FRONT YARDS EXCEED <br /> MINE IN SIZE HAVE ASSESSMENTS MUCH LESS THAN MY $1,247.49. THE <br /> ASSESSMENT IS PUNITIVE AND I DERIVE NO BENEFIT WHATSOEVER FROM IT. <br /> . SUBSEQUENT TO YOUR MEETING LAST YEAR, A FORMER ARDEN CITY EMPLOYEE <br /> TOLD ME THAT WHEN THE PRIVATE DRIVE ABUTTING OAK AVEUE WAS <br /> CONSTRUCTED, THE OWNER WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE ROAD WAS INDEED <br /> PRIVATE AND HIS DUTY TO MAINTAIN. <br /> ~~~ J <br /> IjfJ fE;t - 'CNpptI/ . <br /> . <br /> . WALTER W. BENJAMIN <br /> . <br /> , <br />
