1. On June 7, 1977, Dennis & Wendy Zerwas and Donald & Mary Zerwas,
signed separate purchase agreements to purchase 2i acres each, of
the 5 acres that Ken Carpenter was selling through Burnet Realty.
2. That same week, Wendy Zerwas called Mrs. Prachar to inquire about
building requirements and minimum building size of the land. She
gave me the name and phone number of building inspector, Gene Mobley,
and told me to talk to him. I told Mrs. Prachar our intentions and
the area we were planning on building. I asked about sewer assess-
ments for that area and I was told that the sewer system would only
go down to the dirt road and no farther. (private development) The
land is just south of that road. She said it would be at least 20
years until they continued sewer down that road. I was not told
of any other ordinance on size of building site. Dennis Zerwas
called and talked to Mrs. Prachar soon after that and got this
same information about the area.
3. That same day I talked to Mrs. Prachar, I talked to Mr. Mobley
on the phone. He told me that the minimum land requirement was 2i
acres and the minimum sq. foot of the house was 1000 sq ft. He to~d
this same information to Mary Zerwas, when she called him. My
husband, Dennis, and our builder, Bob Heck also talked to Mr. Mobley.
Each was given the impression that we were going to be able to build.
We each had 2i acres and our houses are 1008 sq ft. We got a buildable
perculation test. This was done on July 16th. I took the results
of our perc test to Mr. Mobley on July 18th, and he said that at a
rate of )0 min (for perc test) we are going to need 250", per bedroom
or a total of 750' of drain field. I told him that my in-laws perc
test was completed but I did not have the report on it yet. Their
perc test came out to be )0 minutes also. I then obtained a bid for
our septic system. I also asked Mr. Mobley if there was any cost
involved in splitting 5 acres in half. He said no there was not.
(I was told to check on this by our builder who said that some areas
have a cost to split acreage.) Mr. Mobley knew where we were planning
to build because he told my husband and I that he had driven past the
property and had seen the.men doing the perculation test on it. He
wanted to make sure that we knew that the perculation tests must be
taken where we were planning to build our houses. This first perc
test was ordered by Mr. Carpenter. They did the tests in the middle
of the property. When we found this out we ordered our own perc tests
on the areas that we planned to put our houses. We also had a survey
done of the property for our mortgage co. One final word on Mr. Mobley.
I myself talked to him a few more times during the last 2 months and
nothing was said of this ordinance of one house per 10 acres.
4. Dennis and Wendy's mortgage was approved on Au~ust 9. We have the
6i% interest mortgage with a total sales price of '37,500. If we are
delayed to much, costs may go up and put us out of this price. Our
appraisel came out good. Our builder buys the property and then puts
it in our mortgage. The same builder is doing both houses.

5. Donald and Mary's conventional mortgage was not approved yet
this week. Approval looks very favorable.
6. Dennis and I had one new abstract made up from the old one. (this
last month) so each family would have an abstract. We also had title
opinions done on each abstract (as required by the builder). These
are back now and they are only good for )0 days.
When the abstracts were continued. St. Paul Title Co in Anoka, put
in them, an ordinance #2IA. This was entitled: An ordinance estab-
lishing regulations for the subdivision and platting of land within
the village of Lino Lakes. I have attached this ordinance to this
statement. I checked with Char at Burnet Realty's closing dept. about
this. She called St. Paul Title in Anoka and they told her that it
was a mistake (the ordinance) and that they would remove it. St.
Paul Title Co of Anoka also informed her that they could not find
any ordinance at all concerning subdivision of land in Centerville
or any other item relating to land size. We would like to know
where we can get a copy of any ordinances that pertain to Centerville's
building restrictions. Another question we had was how or why did
the Title Company figure that Lino Lakes ordinances are a part of
Centerville.s?
7. OUR PROBLEM IS THIS:
On August 16th I stopped by Mrs. Prachar's house to see if there were
any assessments for our property. I showed her the plat map of the
area of the property. Mrs. Prachar said to me "you can't build
here. It Then she went on to tell me tha t the land must have been
platted into the 2t acres before April. The new ordinance (?) was
that any area without city sewer cannot have any more then one
house per 10 acres. This, she said. went into effect in April. Mrs.
Prachar told me that they decided to go along with the Metro Council's
requirements. I asked why didn't the building inspector know about
this? I was told that he must not have been up to date on this new
requirement. I wonder also why Mrs. Prachar didn't mention this to
us when we talked to her originally in June. I talked to Mayor
Prachar that same night. He told me that the building inspector
was confused. He also said that this new requirement was not
publicized and got around by word of mouth. We have put alot of
money and time into this. We did everything in good faith. We
feel that we have been misled if what I have said about one house
for ten acres outside sewered areas is true. The building inspector
was misinformed or not informed of this change and we went by his
word because he was the building inspector and we were directed to
him by the city clerk. We are aSking for a variance so we can go
ahead with our plans. It was not our fault, we checked the require-
ments that we were suppose to. We filled the requirements that were
given to us. The next page is the amount of loss we have if we are
unable to go through with our plans. The mayor advised us to bring
our case to the council meeting. Maybe the council can help us out.
~
page three
If we hadknown of this new ruling immediately in June we would not
have gone through with all that we did.
If we are not able to build, this is a small list of our LOSSES.
Actual costs: $180.00 pere test
372.00 survey
100.00 loss on downpayment of houses if cancelled
90.80 new abstract
100.00 title opinions
85.00 Mortgage co appraisel and credit check
$927.80
Add on another $100 if we delayed long enough to need another title
opinion.
These are losses that are going to be hard to recoup.
1. The price of both houses went up $4000.00 each on July 1. The
builder doesn't know how long he can hold the ~riginal price for us.
2. Donald and Mary have just sold their home in White Bear and were
counting on building and living in Centerville.
J. Dennis and Wendy were able to get that 6i% interest mortgage and
if they lose that, it would be a loss to them in more ways than one.
A. We have purchased our large applicances. B. We have spent over
$100 on mise houseyard items. C. Dennis is able to get transfered
to a closer place of work. D. We would not be able to afford a
bigger mortgage.
4. If we had to go out and look for land again now, the cost is
sure to have increased since June and the cost of the house is sure
to rise.
5. If we did have to find new land, we would still have to pay for
a new appraisel.
6. It would be very hard to estimate the amount of gas and the wear
and tear on the car for the last 2 months. We have done quite a bit
of driving to get everything together for this.
7. Also the amount of time that I have spent getting things done
and also the time my husband has missed work to take care of alot
of things that can only be done during the week. Our entire summer
has been spent on this property and getting everything straightened
out. As soon as a couple of questions were 9leared up about the
title, we were ready to close.
We got everything together that we were told to and don't feel that
we are at fault here.
ALL OF .THIS BECAUSE OF A PUBLIC EMPLOYEE'S WRONG INFORMATION.
We feel that there are more people at fault here for this misinformation.

LUJRACHAR, CLERK
To: Oenterville City Counoil Members
From: Norman F. Fritchie, Resident of Centerville
1637 Peltier Lake Drive
Centerville, Minnesota 55038
The following information is submitted as written testimony on the
subject of reducing the height of a hill on Pelti~r L~{e Drive.
r do s~pport the lowering of the height of the hill because I feel
it is a risky, hazardous, and dangerous situation to have the present
abrupt rise in that city street. Since both persons at our household
who drive cars have been driving over this hill daily, we feel that we
do have a meaningful and a valid basis from our personal experiences
for evaluating the problem with the existing creKt of the hill. We offer
the following information to support our request that the City Council
approve the lowering of the height of: the hill.
1)- Today's criteria for the design of a city street would not allow the
present abrupt rise in the existing road over the hill, as was
explained by the City's Engineer Walt Williams at a previous meeting
of the Planning And Zoning Commdttee.
2) My wife has experienced three near-miss incidents while driving over
the sharp hill in the past 7i years that were too close to becoming
accidents and possible injuries.
3) More houses have been built recently on Peltier Lake Drive and the
increased traffic does increase the possibility of an accident and
an injury at the crest of the hill..
4) The question of lowering the hill has been debated for quite some time
for it was a topic o~ discussion approximately 6 years ago in conjunc-
tion with a petition from the resident of Peltier Lake Drive at that
time to have the street black topped.
5) The existing situation has been something that all persons have had to
contend with for about the last 15 years when houses were built on
Peltier Lake Drive which required access by traveling over the hill.
To have that hazardous situation continue for any more years is not
desirable.
6) Any concerns about excessive snow drifts from a lowering of the hill
should be viewed as quite minor concerns because:
A) The larger drifts in previous winters occurred at the lower part
of the hill on the western slope and were: aggravated by an
adjacent empty lot at that spot on the north side of the street.
B) The sweeping action of the wind over a rise in the terrain
seldom causes much snow to stop at the top of a hill where the
proposed lOvlering would talre place.
C) Winter conditions exist for only a part of the year so there are
a very small number of actual problem snow days during the
entire 365 day year.
.~
,
.
Page Two
1) Of the two driveways that would be directly affected by a lowered
hill, the driveway to the north would benefit by being not so steep
after the hill was lowered.
8) It appears that currently there are four driveways on the street
which are presently steeper than or just as steep as the driveway
to the south. Those four driveways are mine, Skoog's, lvIartinson's,
and Sahlstrom's which were all constructed at their selected angles
by choice of the builder or owner.
9 ) Any concerns about making the house to the south seem excessively
high should be recognized as strictly an optical effect due to:
A) The unusuaJ. vertical structure of that house whose reason for
that style of house setting on a high piece of ground has not
been obvious.
B) That house has practically no shrubbery, and it has not had
its yard landscaped.
10) The cost to the City for the proposed sodding and retaining wall is
so small due to the sewer construction that the cost should not be
a ractor idmaking a decision about lowering the height of the
present hill.
It is suggested that the items in the preceding inro~ation are
primarily reasons as contraKted with being opinions for lowering the
hill. Reasons should be given more emphasis than strictly opinions on
this matter. There no doubt may be many opinions from many dirrerent
persons about t4e possibility of lowering the hill on the road, but the
ra&sons should be given greater consideration from those persons who
travel over the crest or the present hill and thereby regularly exper-
ience a risk from the existing situation.
In conclusion, both my wire and I request that the Oity Council
~pprove the lowering o~ the hill on Peltier Lake Drive.
