<br />" <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />Now that there is "little or minimal" impact from the mall development, you have been <br />directed by the Elk River City Council to have a meeting to discuss Highland Avenue. <br />Imagine my surprise. This surprise started when we received a letter from you Monday <br />October 31st dated October 26, 2005, announcing there will be a public meeting on <br />November 3,2005. Considering the speed of the postal senrice it leaves very, very little <br />time for people who are extremely tight for time to arrange/rearrange their schedules in <br />order to be present and be heard. That being said, it is highly suspicious as well. The only <br />viable way to go on record is via letter and fax. At that I have no way of knowing our <br />concerns are heard by ''the public". <br /> <br />I wish to go on record as saying NO to ('pedestrian facilities" which in common English <br />are known as sidewalks! Sidewalks which snow removal will undoubtedly be the <br />responsibility of the adjoining residences. NO to sewer systems that I will have to pay for <br />as well as the inconvenience of having the street under construction for a summer. NO <br />and I mean a definite NO to city water. We have a wonderful well that is very clean, the <br />water is wonderful, does not smell or taste like chlorine and we would like it to remain <br />that way. <br /> <br />I would suggest to you Mr. Maurer, and to the City Council, the development of a <br />additional East-West corridor before you attempt a "band-aid" solution to the Highland <br />Road issue. I believe it would be highly advisable before property values along Highland <br />Road and its adjoining streets start to plummet from the city's folly. If you check, it <br />happened along Jackson, and is happening northwest of the Jackson intersection. 'What a <br />shame for those folks who have worked so hard to maintain their properties only to see <br />them diminish in value as a result of the city fathers poor planning. Unbelievable. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br /> <br />Dennis and Patti Go <br />12095 Highland Roa <br /> <br />/-1 <br />( <br /> <br />SOD/SOD 'd <br /> <br />19/,g/,g7,7, 19! <br /> <br />n1 H~ r.~ Wil~1n lAl~ /.1: en WillA enn7-7n-Aml <br />
