-. May 3, 2010 North Como Presbyterfan Church 985 W.LarpenteurAve. Roseville, Mn. 55113 ,. Hello: 1 am your �eighbor adjacent to your northwest parking lot. 1 attended your neighborhood meeting on Saturday, May'I, at4 p.m. regarding your anticipated COMMUNITY GAROENS. I enJoy living next to your church, and the pre-schoolers that come (park) daily September through May - very enjoyable. During the May 1 meeting, I met Ca�ol Rust, and she spoke to me about my concerns and suggested that I put two events in writing. My concern being chitdren that at Umes are not supervised by their parents - picking up the children, rather than dropping them off in the morning. Examples: Two mothers conversing tor long periods and not watching thelr chHdren, or not disciplinfng them. My concern - safety for all. 1. Whife the mothers were talking, two, sometimes three children, picked up sticks from my backyard and were playing "fencing" with them. Poking each other and laughing. My concern was possible injury - poking in the eyes and doing damage. And of course, although they were trespassing, what my responsibility would be should that happen, plus noi wanting to see injury to anyone. I was trying to let the mothers see this and have the children stop, but this didn't happen until 10 min. later when they left. 2. While mothers were talkfng, one boy was picking up stones from around ypur electrical unit on the north, adjacent to my property, and throwing them into my back yard. This was not a physical threat to the child, but could have been if 1 had not seen it and childrenlparents were present when my lawn was being cut and the stones flew to the body, doing harm. Carol Rust had a suggestlon about the stones, a�d you might check with her in this regard. . I love seeing lhe children, and actually do not mind their being on my property, except Tor the possibility of inJury. When the children are supervised by the pre- school director and assistants, they are so well behaved, it is a JOY to see.
