<br />Re: Pavement Management Assessments for Katie Lane
<br />Dan and Janice Christensen own the home located at 3314 Katie Lane in Arden Hills.
<br />We own two lots for our one residence. We have no intention of ever splitting the lots or
<br />selling them separately. We would like to request the assessment on our second lot be
<br />deferred.
<br />We purchased the extra lot which had an easement that would have put a house
<br />unacceptably close to ours. We felt that a house built on that lot would negatively affect
<br />our property value. Since that time we have extensively landscaped and developed the
<br />extra lot, along with the original, as one property. On that extra lot we have a stream,
<br />waterfall, bridge, large pond, extensive gardens, stone patio, walking paths, lighting, fire
<br />pit, garden house and a batting cage with a housed pitching machine. We have a lot of
<br />sweat equity involved as we did this all ourselves. We have an irrigation system that is
<br />throughout both properties as one and would be very difficult to split.
<br />We contacted the city in 2007 when mill and overlay was first proposed with the question
<br />of our two properties and assessments. At that time, we were told that our lots would be
<br />listed as two on the assessment rolls but we would want to attend the assessment hearing
<br />to reques� that one of our assessments be deferred to a time in the future when we sell our
<br />home and the new property owners divide the lo�s back to separate properties. We were
<br />thinking this would be a simple process. We contacted the city in March of this year
<br />about this process and recently learned that we would be charged with two assessments.
<br />In this economy we feel paying twice the price as our neighbors does not seem right. We
<br />do not get twice the benefit. Our two lots combined have less street footage than some of
<br />the other single lots on the street.
<br />Please consider deferring one of our assessments or entering into a contract as you have
<br />for others with similar situations. Thank you !
<br />Kind Regards,
