j> #' MEMO DATE: March 9,2001 TO : Honorable Mayor and Council FROM: Jim March RE : Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Blake, 1275 Mound Trail ********************************************************************** This item was briefly discussed at the last meeting. Included in your packet is a letter that was received from Mr. and Mrs. Blake. Also included is my initial correspondence to Carl Beuchler when he asked about varying his home from the existing building pad and the attorney's opinion on the matter. Earlier this week, Mrs. Blake stopped in to City Hall and I spoke to her at length about this subject. I refuted some of her claims in the letter, particularly her statement that her husband and her builder had previously discussed the placement of their home on the lot with me. Mrs. Blake had admitted to me on the phone, prior to the letter being submitted, that neither her husband nor her builder had spoke to me. When Mrs. Blake stopped at City Hall, I asked her why she submitted a letter that stated her husband and her builder spoke to Ken Cook and myself. She replied, "my husband might not have spoke to you, but my builder did remember your name". Another staff member witnessed this statement. I never recall ever speaking to a Mr. Wayne Blake. I do recall a conversation with Mr. Mike Koch where he inquired how to access the building site due to road restrictions. The issue was brought before Council for an overweight permit. It is obvious that the Blake's are upset with the placement of their home on the lot. It is also known that the developer told them that they could not move their proposed home off of the existing building pad and that he would oppose any attempt of receiving a variance. .
