, Honorable Mayor Dennis Probst and Members of City Council City of Arden Hills March 24, 1999 Page 2 e be made to the Official Map as it relates to his property. To the extent that an Official Map amendment is unavoidable, the amendment should be made expressly subject to the clear condition that no right of way will be located on any portion of the Bachman's property without Mr. Bachman's consent. Please be advised that Mr. Bachman is not willing to grant any such consent at this point. 2. Mr. Bachman opposes any action which might be taken in connection with an Official Map amendment or the development plan of Josephine East which directly or indirectly imposes additional obligations or burdens on the Baclunan's property. For example, the City has discussed alternative configurations of Shoreline Lane. Some involve locating a future cul-de-sac partly on Mr. Baclunan's property and partly on adjacent property. Any such alternative effectively makes acquisition of the adjacent property for the cul-de-sac a precondition to future subdivision of the Baclunan property. While Mr. Bachman intends to continue residing on the property and has no plan to subdivide, such an arrangement reduces the value of the Bachman property and is therefore not acceptable. Similarly, any other arrangement which restricts desirable development options for the Baclunan property is not acceptable. 3. Lastly, Mr. Bachman expects the City to protect his property from any adverse effect which may be caused by the development of the Josephine East property including, without limitation, any loss or damage to trees along the common boundary, drainage and/or erosion problems, and the impairment of Mr. Baclunan's driveway access which currently crosses the Josephine East property. This is not intended to be a complete list of potential problems, but is representative of the concerns Mr. Bachman expects the City to address and resolve in its review of the Josephine East development plans. e To the extent there are new alternatives presented at Monday's meeting which were not discussed by the Planning Commission, we respectfully request that Mr. Bachman be notified of such alternatives and that any action to approve any such alternative be continued until your next meeting. This continuance will permit Mr. Bachman to be notified of the alternatives and to review and comment on same. Please contact me if you have any further questions in regard to the foregoing. Thank you. Very truly yours, C~~::JfA- Charles G. Carpenter CGC:smh cc: William Bachman e N:\PLICGC\53483491.wpd
