(j)affas Larson, Jldministrator City of Centerviffe 651-429-3232 -----Original Message----- From: Dean LaValle [mailto:dlavalle@PaR.com] Sent: Monday, May 12, 2008 3:51 PM To: dlarson@centervillemn.com Cc: laValle, Kathi; Dean laValle Subject: LaValle Drive Proposed Improvements (DRAFT) Dallas: We want to express our opinion regarding the proposed water main and service for LaValle Drive that is part of the proposed 2009 City Improvements. As the owners of the properties at 7242 and 7248 LaValle Drive, we believe that the water service is neither desired nor required. Both of these properties have excellent well water and relatively recently installed pumps. There is no necessity for incurring the cost of installing water service to these properties and and the resulting lower quality drinking water. We have heard that there have also been some discussions regarding possible improvements to the road, including possibly making it a city street. As a reminder, the lots and easements were originally designed to provide the properties along the lake side of the property line access when the second house was built on the road about 1962. It was then foreseen that when/if a developer chose to develop the field toward the Water Works and wanted to share a common road access to Main street, that developer would provide a complimentary strip of property, construct the road centered on the property line, and provide it to the city, as is normal for developing parcels. With the tennis court recently added along the drive, it is evident that there is no intention by the developer to have access from the parcel to Main Street by converting LaValle Drive into a city street. With regard to our properties, we therefore prefer to continue to self-maintain the road in cooperation with the other neighbors with whom we have maintenance agreements and are not interested in adding any additional access points to it. We can be reached at the phone numbers below if you wish to discuss these issues further.
