could not reach an agreement with the city, we hired an attorney, Matt Anderson of Anderson Law Group, PLLC, to represent our claim to the use of the road. This email is meant to reiterate that we (residents along the proposed pathway) are still opposed to this Proposed Tamarack Segment, as currently outlined in the Master Plan. Our attorney is planning on attending the July 27th meeting, and will be voicing our concerns at that time, but we wanted to make sure that there was direct opposition from the residents affected as well. Please pass this email along to the Parks Dept and City Council. Thank you, Will Defiel From: Lisa Sent: Monday, July 26, 2021 8:42 AM To: ioesvillemn@hotmail.com; bificek@yahoo.com; Ioyice082@umn.edu; misra.stenouist@prodigy.net; shanespencer 42@vahoo.com Cc: Matt Anderson; Ann Tran Sean Emery; Joe Linn; Jody Lulich; Will Defiel; Benjamin Olsen Subject: Proposed Changes to Tamarack Park Pathway Thank you for this opportunity to voice our concern over the impact the proposed changes to the Tamarack pathway will have on our lives. This change will be discussed at Tuesday's meeting. Please forward this to any of the members that we may have inadvertently missed. Our names are Lisa and Dave Booms and we moved to 300 McCarrons Blvd S in 1995. At that time, it was our understanding from the neighbors and the seller that the alley behind our home was one that had been in use since the 1940s (as illustrated by attached aerial photos from the University of MN from 1940s and 1950s). We used it to park the 24 foot moving van we needed to unload all of our possessions on moving day. We did so because the access from our garage to the front door of our home has 38 stairs — we just counted them again. Since them, we've used the alley on a semi -regular basis for many things including: 1. Construction materials for contractors and DIY. Most recently, for roofing materials this summer. 2. Large purchases such as furniture, appliances, etc. 3. Groceries. 4. Boat storage. 5. Elderly family members who are notable to walk the steps. 6. Transporting each other when injuries made walking up the 38 steps difficult and dangerous. An ambulance once took one of us to the hospital via stretcher.
