"'"". <br /> Arden Hills Mayor and City Council I.,' <br /> 1450 Highway 96 <br /> Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br /> Enclosed is a letter I have written to Gregory Stonehouse, your project engineer. To keep <br /> from repeating myself, I sincerely hope that you will read the letter. I am so disappointed <br /> with the proposal for the storm sewer. One of the major frustrations is that I found out <br /> about all this tonight at 6:30 PM. I think it would have been advisable to let me know <br /> before you sent backhoes onto my property. How can you in the city be so callous to <br /> property owners? Another frustration is that you are having the public hearing on April 1 0 <br /> when I am out of the country. My anger says you planned it that way. <br /> I would like to go on public record that I oppose the ideas of destroying my driveway to <br /> put in a permanent easement. My reasons are: <br /> 1_ The storm sewer does not in any way benefit my property and it will be impossible to <br /> . maintain because I will not allow large service trucks to drive on my driveway or garden. <br /> 2. The lake will suffer from the increase salt, sand and waste' water that will run into the <br /> lake. <br /> 3_ I was not informed even though you were planning on tearing up my private property. <br /> That is almost more than I can deal with tonight. <br /> Unfortunately I \>ill not be at the public hearing, good timing on your part, and I stand <br /> oppose to the project. If you insist I this folly do you compensate my father for the loss of <br /> property, the destruction of the driveway (which I know I will be repairing for years), <br /> damage to the lawn, retaining wall, garden. He will lose about 250 strawberry plants which <br /> produce about 100 pounds of berries. Will be pay him for that? <br /> This is truly beyond a crazy idea. I have no faith that the engineering finn, workers or you <br /> will honor any promises you make and I will be responsible for all the damage and future <br /> damages that will occur. All the years on the City Council taught me that engineers never <br /> do what they say nor do they repair any damage unless citizens threaten a law suit. <br /> I am immensely disappointed that I am informed of this project 4 days before the <br /> information.... The engineer says it is a oversight. How many more oversights \>ill we have <br /> to suffer? ......<--t-..()~, <br /> Notahappyre~ <br /> '1t~ /C.,.. <br /> Nancy K. Hansen <br /> . 633-1097 <br />
