� <br />March 6, 2008 <br />Bryan Lloyd <br />2660 Civic Center Drive <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br />Dear Mr. Lloyd, <br />I have received your notice about the Setback Permit requested for 1834 Eldridge Ave. <br />by the Rhees. I own the house directly across the street at 1833 Eldridge Ave. and object <br />to this proposal for several reasons. <br />I strongly believe the current rules exist for good reasons including property and <br />neighborhood appearance, noise control, etc. and should not be altered except in extreme <br />cases. This is not one, as there is ample room for any development to the rear of this <br />house, which would not affect the view from the street. The current spacing between <br />homes on Eldridge should be maintained to keep the peoperty values up, and make police <br />and fire protection easier. <br />Once granted, a variance has to be lived with forever, even when properties change hands <br />and the new owners might never have desired it. It often stimulates people to request <br />more variances, the domino effect, that become harder to turn down.. <br />Personally, it would partially block my view of homes on Skillman, to the south. I enjoy <br />being able to see them, and it was especially helpful during power failures on Eldridge so <br />we could see if the outage was only our street or more widespread. <br />This addition, in my opinion, would give the house a strange footprint, to say the least. I <br />can' t imagine a 42 '/2 foot long kitchen jutting out of the side of the house, and don't <br />think that would enhance the properly value.. <br />So my objections are on general principles, the need to maintain current home spacing, <br />home and neighborhood appearance and property values. <br />I am friends with the Rhees, and have discussed this proposal with John in the past and <br />told him of my objections, and the reasons for them. <br />Sincerely, <br />i, �, < �, �% <br />. �� Cc�-�,FjL_ �'�, �,C/iJu� <br />Dolores M. Merrill <br />1833 Eldridge Ave. <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br />651-697-1361 <br />
