Highway 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112 Hand-Delivered Re: 1994 Pavement Management Improvement PIN Number 34-30~23-13-0008 Dear Ms. Person: Please consider this letter as notice that the undersigned owners of the property located at 1301 Cannon Avenue, object to and . intend to appeal our assessment of $4,838.00 in connection with the proposed road improvement to Dunlap Street North scheduled for summer of 1994. This letter is intended to satisfy the requirements of Minnesota statutes S 429.081 as to filing a written objection with the city administrator to protect our appeal rights. We object to the assessment for the following reasons: 1. The proposed "improvement" does not benefit our property. We believe that the proposed improvement will actually detract from the value of our property. 2. Although we were assessed for 164 feet of "frontage", only a portion of this assessed frontage actually abuts the proposed "improvement". The remaining footage abuts a road that is unimproved and is not intended to be improved in the proposed assessment or in the future. The Assessment Manual adopted by the city of Arden Hills states that, because our lot is platted, our frontage assessment is to be measure along the property line "abuttina the improvement". The most our property may be assessed is for that which abuts the improvement. Any argument that this assessment may be based on usage is arbitrary and capricious, is not warranted by actual usage and is also not authorized in the Assessment Manual. . ---.......--.. _.~.~ . . ._-_.~--
