<br />Wayne & Karla Hovald <br />1922 I Tyler 81. NW <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />Terry Maurer <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk .River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />2/2/06 <br /> <br />In regards to: 193rd Avenue Corridor <br /> <br />Dear Terry Maurer: <br /> <br />We are writing in response to the recent informational meeting held on January 24th, 2006 <br />regarding the 193rd Avenue Corridor. We would like to voice our concerns regarding the <br />4 options on the road that would affect our residence. At the informational meeting you <br />presented the 4 road options, numbering them from 1 to 4, from the north to the south. <br />Our concerns are as follows: <br /> <br />1. Options number 2 and 3 both straddle our property. If a new road was <br />constructed on either side of our home, it would decrease the value of our home, <br />bring more traffic and noise to our property, and possibly vandalism. <br /> <br />2. We would rather have the road go through our property, taking our home with it, <br />than have another road next to our home. <br /> <br />3. We would like to move from our home in 5 years. We know what our home is <br />worth today, however with a proposed road going through our neighborhood or <br />possibly our home, this puts our property on hold. We are now in limbo on <br />selling or improving our property. We would like answers on the proposed road <br />as soon as possible. <br /> <br />4. We would like to recommend your proposed number 1 route for this road <br />extension. This route makes the most sense due to several facts. The route would <br />pass under existing power lines where the land is un-buildable. It is the <br />straightest route which makes the road more desirable to travelers. There are no <br />buildings or businesses in the way to be relocated. There are minimal trees in the <br />way of the road and this route is the least disruptive to families in the area. <br />
