. I am deeply concerned about the manipulation Mr. Nelson continues. He doesn't care at all about the surrounding area or the neighbors. As I go through my years of paper work, I am more certain that my accusations are accurate. What will happen when the construction begins and the building is accidentally put even closer to my home? Mr. Nelson says I'm sorry; it was the construction team . that made the mistake; Steve gets a small fine, but gets his way. That is the way this whole project has gone since day one. The building went from 1 story with basement for file storage, to a 1 story with basement for car and boat storage, to a 2 story, to a larger 2 story with decks. Mr. Nelson knew what he wanted from the get go, was not concerned about the city laws/codes nor the neighborhoods best interest. It was simply a project to make money and get exactly what he wants. I am telling you there will be nothing but problems if this goes through. It is to small of a corner to cram in a building of this size. There will be complications with traffic and accidents, noise, privacy, and worst of all Steve's payoff for his selfishness and greed. Obviously the building got bigger, because he got the tenants 1st, spends a lot of money to make the building bigger and comfortable for his tenants and then expects to get his way from the city. Which he has got his way so far, so why shouldn't he expect that. The order he has takin has been backwards the whole time. Don't you talk with the city 1 st and get educated about the property's restrictions, then buy the property if OK, then design the blueprints, then build? Not spend tons of money then go seek for city approval. Then I get a surprise letter saying this is what's going to happen now. Recently I was doing fall yard work and seen there were some flags on my property stating this was Mr. Nelson's property line. WRONG, Mr. Nelson is now even trying to claim some of my front yard as his property. Unbelievable! The fence is also my fence. I have taken photographs were these flags were. From the plat view provided by the city of Arden Hills; I had remeasured, (with a witness) my land in my yard. 75 feet total. To my surprise, Steve had mis- measured, and the stakes were removed and put where they belong. On his real property. Photos were than taken again and I put up a sign stating- please stay off my property. This man is out of control. A ruthless, selfish, greedy . business man if you would. I am angry. I hope you understand my bitterness. It is now 3am in the morning and I am tired, However this letter (if takin into consideration) is more important than sleep. If I could make only 3 requests I would appreciate it so much. . Keep the building to the original plan (size) 1 Story. ..---- or Y'6 loo\Ic.\i";} a..r a.\ \ I . The basement could be used for office space and not storage with a car ramp. . An 8 foot privacy fence from the back of my yard to the front. I hope and pray you all make the right decision for us and our neighbors. I feel bad for them too! From there backyards they had never seen county rd. D. Now they can clearly see and hear. Give us the proper buffer landscaping and privacy fences. Please try to imagine buying your 1 st home and having this happen. Try to imagine being kept awake all night with a newborn, and being woken up by construction. (We are expecting a new baby Feb. 5 2003.) Try to imagine having a wall of woods one day, to a wall of nothing, (no privacy at all), to literally a large building wall. Try to imag- ine thinking you will make some money when you sell your home, and the next appraisal you loose. Try to imagine having your child's birthday party in the backyard with strange office workers looking down at you. Please try to imagine how_gratefUl we will all be if you make the right choice!
