August 12, 2002 <br /> <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />Attn: City Council presiding officer/Municipal Clerk <br /> <br />RE: Ronald & Susan Myhre, Appeal of Assessment for improvements to 175~ Avenue <br /> <br />We contest the proposed assessment based on the following: <br /> <br /> We reside at the comer of 175t~ Avenue & Fillmore. The city representative led us to believe that if <br /> we were to be assessed for street improvements that the amount would be similar to the amount we <br /> were offered for the easement. He stated that we might not be assessed at all for street improvements <br /> because the city was anxious to get the project started. <br /> <br /> We were recently assessed for the improvements to Fillmore Street. Due to the double burden of <br /> assessments we are asking that any assessments to 175t~ Avenue be waived or adjusted. Were the <br /> homeowners at the comer of Tyler & 175t~ assessed when the Tyler street improvements were done? <br /> <br />~ I (Ron) worked in the defense industry and my job was eliminated due to downsizing in 1998. I have <br /> been employed in lower paying positions and on unemployment since then. We have suffered <br /> financially and are unable to afford any additional payments. <br /> <br />~ Much of the proposed costs are for city water and sewer that benefits others but not us. <br /> <br />We appreciate your consideration of our above listed objections to the proposed 175t~ Street assessments. <br /> <br />Ron and Sue Myhre <br />10022 175t~ Avenue N.W. <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />#763441-2139 <br /> <br /> <br />
