replacement. At this time, the architect recommended replacing the foundation and putting up the frame work, roof and windows, as per the drawings submitted in _October. This resulted in the house being enlarged from one story t�' ;two story overall, rather than a two story home in front and one story ,home in back as was originally planned for the first phase of construction. At this time, Mr. Rekuski went back to the city requesting a second permit in. order to repair the foundation and extend the footings from the garage to the porch along the east side of the home. The permit also requested permission to install a new roof and walls as shown on the architect's drawings previously submitted to the city. The second permit was issued in February for this .additional .work. In late March, 1988, Vaughn Larson raised an objection to the bay window being installed on the east side of the project. At his request, the bay window was taken out and a flush window inserted. At this time, Vaughn Lamson started raising other objections. This Nesulted in a n;,eeting on April 13 at the City of Roseville. Present at the meeting was Vaughn Larson, -=rank Rekuski, Howard Dahlgren, Gordon Beseth and Rick Jobke. The last three individuals are employed by the City of Roseville. Howard Dahla: en kept notes from that meeting which appear as page 3 and 4 of the Planning Office Hours report for April 13, 1988. It was the understanding of all those present at the meeting that an agreement had been reached between Mr. Rekuski and Mr. Larson which would satisfy Mr. Larson's concerns. The last paragraph of the notes from that meeting show that there was an agreement between the parties. On the basis of that agreement, Mr. Larson stated that he no longer objected to the development as proposed. Frank Rekuski has performed six of the eight items listed in that agreement. The two items that he has not been able to perform result from a lack of cooperation 'from Mr. Larson. Without Mr. Larson's cooperation, the last two. items cannot be performed. Not only did Mr. Larson refuse to cooperate in allowing Mr. Rekuski to complete the 8 listed items, but he refused to sign a variance waiver- and started raising new objections. At this point, Mr. Rekuski had me contact Mr. Larson to discuss these concerns. Twice, the concerns were met and twice Mr. Larson changed his mind indicating that this was no longer sufficient and that he wanted more. The homeowner and the Roseville City Planning Department has gone out of their way to accommodate any and all of the concerns raised by Mr. Larson. Each time his concerns are met, he raises new concerns. The (..arsons state in their letter of September 23 that they were deceived regarding this construction project and that they were not informed of their rights. This is not true. Vaughn Larson was advised of his rights at the April 13 meeting referred to above. At that meeting, he agreed that the construction project would continue provided that Frank Rekuski did certain .items for him. Mr. Rekuski has done all of the items that he could do except for those matters requiring Mr. Larson's cooperation, which cooperation has not been forthcoming. The other participants in that meeting can confirm that there was an agreement between Vaugh Larson and Frank Rekuski, thus -2-
