May 17, 2002 Mississippi Oaks Homeowners Mississippi Oaks Development Elk River RE: The purposed plan for Phase III of Mississippi Oaks Dear Ms. McPherson and City Planners As the homeowners of Mississippi Oaks we all have questions on the planning of Phase III of Mississippi Oaks. As you have well been made aware for years, Mr. Moldenhaurer needs to be followed closely, very closely when developing his development. We have questions that we all feel need to be looked at before he should be allowed to continue. · Mr. Moldenhaurer has not followed city codes. Example: · Driveway widths etc. Knew what it should be, but did what he wanted it to be · Lot size - - told it was this size, when comes to have it staked out-completely in-correct. · Cutting of river trees etc. DNR was involved. Has he completed his requirements? He should be accounted for his large and costly mistake to nature. We were made aware by letter from the city stating that he would like to put in "walk-ins" along the river banks. He was told NO, but went ahead and proceeded to chop down trees along the bank and down the banks for his own good, not following city orders etc. · Allowing dumping of material in empty field by citizens of Elk River-not Mississippi Oaks Homeowners As discussed at your last planning meeting, in the beginning 6 years ago he had given the city 2 acres, correct me 2 acres along the back waters of the river to be left alone? Now it seems he has changed it to only 1 ? Wasn't this in the plan from the beginning of the "development" of Mississippi Oaks? His signs say bike paths, that would be a nice walking or bike path along the banks. If he said 2 then 2 it should be. There are drainage culverts in the development that run along property lines in which are very necessary. Six years and still as of today many home back yards fill with water because the lock of proper drainage and grading. In the first purposed plan he has some of this left alone, (meaning drainage areas) now from the looks of things homes will be on the drainage path. Will this be allowed? We laugh because the" Mississippi Oaks" development name really is like "Mississippi No Oaks" from all of the trees which have come out or taken out by Mr. Moldenhaurer. Please consider some of the past problems when deciding his purposed plan. He has already taken the first action with or with out your recommendation in preparing his land. Please consider when making your decision the lack of respect Mr. Moldenhaurer has shown toward the city and his development homeowners. Thanks for your consideration Mississippi Oaks Homeowners This letter is for the city planning commission and Ms. McPherson. Mr. Moldenhauer does not need to read this.
