~. e e . PLEASE, ROSEVILLE, STOP I WE'LL LEAVE, PROMISE, The following 1s written out of fru~tration and anger after several months of unexplained and blzarre behavior by employees and representatives of the city of Rosevllle. The loathing and contempt for us and the use of the bureaucracy to exercise these feelings casts an ominoua shado~ across the CItizens of Roaeville. --*.5 <5 ... ;..- {()". \ _;VI , Since 1980 my wlfe and I have owned Lake Owasso Marine at 2764-74 No. Victoria in Roseville. We have attempted to contInuously improve it. When we removed an old building and attempted to build a garage, strange things happened. We now know personally of two simIlar cases. The parties sold and left. We have been told of others. We'll leave too. Herela why. Now, what causes a city to attack its citizens f~r no obvious reason? What began as a SImple request for a permit to build a garage has become a nightmare for my wife and me. We have been Insulted, bullied, lIed to and about by people who we had never met before. We were told we could apply to bUIld a garage by apPolnt~ent on Wednesday morning only. I ~as out of town so the inlt1al applica- tion was made by my WIfe who was unexplalnably left valting by the plannlng commIssion for an hour and a half. When she was finally Interviewed (Interrogated), It ~as in a brus~ue manner with several relerences made to my being an airlin~ pilot. My wife was asked for our property abstra~~ about ~~!ch she knew nothing. She was told to come back v~th the Qbstract if s~e wanted to bUIld a garage. I called to ~c:,i~ that they really needed the abstract and to Inform them that It was lnconvenient to obtaln it. That ~as too bad. If ~e wanted a garage we must bring in the abstract. The next ~ednesday that I could be In MInnesota 1 brought the abstract. We agaIn were kept waiting, but thIS tIme only an hour. The men looked at me scornfully and one said, "you're a pIlot, aren't yoU?" 1 asked if thiS would affect my building a garage. He saidt "we'll see." We handed him our abstract. He slid It back to us, saYing, "Whatls this for?1I We told hIm he had told us to bring it In. He said, "you don't need an abstract to bUIld a garage," My wife said It was the saffie person who inSisted we brIng It in. Thus began the month~ of unexplainable behavlor toward us. "The garage IS too close to the lake" (we measured, It wasnlt). "There is no survey" (1 had It done). lilt does not show the -1-
