Techtron Engin. Inc. 612 425 4075 P. 02 <br /> Michael and Jeannie Bodnar <br /> 14300 202nd Avenue <br /> • Elk River,MN 55330 <br /> 06-25-96 <br /> Mr. Steve Ach <br /> City Planner <br /> City of Elk River <br /> Dear Mr.Ach: <br /> This letter is from Michael and Jeannie Bodnar who live at 14300 202nd Avenue and whose <br /> property directly borders the Duffy residence (who live on Zebulon Street in Elk River). We are <br /> writing in regards to the property variance requested by the Duffy's for subdividing their property <br /> on Zebulon Street. The variance request is to be discussed at the City Ordinance Meeting at 7:00 <br /> P.M. on 06-25-96. We are not able to attend the meeting, so please consider this letter our <br /> response to the variance request. <br /> We weie nicotined that the Duffy's arc requesting a variance to subdividc their pwpczty Ix, build <br /> another single dwelling home. If this is the case,we object to this being done. We built our house <br /> in a wooded lot that borders the Duffy residence because the area was fully developed. Therefore, <br /> we could place our house in the portion of our property that would give us the most privacy <br /> without the cuncein of new houses changing the present conditions. <br /> • At the present time, we are separated from the Duffy residence by a large stand of trees. Because <br /> our home is close to the Duffy property line, if they are allowed to build another residence, the <br /> conditions that led us to build where we did will be negatively impacted. The home will be built <br /> extremely close to the Front of our house. the result will be that the main benefit of building where <br /> we did will be destroyed. We paid extra money in building costs, driveway, utility hook-up, etc. <br /> so that we could be back in the woods away from our neighbors. If this variance is granted, our <br /> extra costs to have privacy will have been completely wasted. <br /> As everyone else in Meadowvale Woods, we benefitted greatly by being able to buy a relatively <br /> large tract of land for a reasonable price. The land price was reasonable because only one home <br /> could be built on each parcel of land. We not only accepted these conditions, but that was <br /> precisely the main reason why we bought the property. <br /> In short, it is extremely important to us to koop tho aroa zoned az it was when use bought our <br /> property. We hope you will deny the Duffy variance request and enforce the conditions that we <br /> adhered to in building our home. <br /> Please call me at(612) 425-4077 during the day with any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 134*/ <br /> ike Bodnar <br /> • • <br />
