Glowacki <br />11024 192nd Circle N.W. <br />Elk River, Minnesota 55330 <br /> <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, Minnesota 55330 <br /> <br />Attn: Terry J. Maurer, PE <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />Re: File 226-069G 193rd Avenue Corridor Informational Meeting <br /> <br />Mr. Mauer, <br />I have had the privilege of speaking with you last year on the phone about this subject. At <br />that time I voice my opinion and my protest against opening 193rd Avenue as a connection to <br />CSAH 13. <br />I will not be able to make the meeting on Wednesday, January 25,2005 because of prior <br />commitments. Therefore, I am addressing this letter to you and Larry Farber. The effort to <br />connect 193rd Avenue with CSAH 13 will result in an increased amount of traffic off of Highway <br />10. People that do not live in the vicinity and who travel to the lake during the summer months <br />will soon realize the outlet between Highway 10 and Twin Lakes Road connecting with 193rd <br />Avenue. <br />The reason I purchased property and built a home in this area was because of the <br />location, beauty, quietness and nature of the surrounding area. This proposal will eliminate all of <br />that. As a result our property values will go down. I was told when I purchased my lot that <br />eventually there would be an association created and that we would have grass and flowers along <br />the middle boulevard on 193rd Avenue. I guess the city council lies about these things. <br />The problem that I have with Mr. Farber is he never answers calls at home regarding this <br />project and I will eventually meet Mr. Farber because I want to meet God someday. It seems that <br />Mr. Farber knew according to him that in the early 1990's this street would be the connection for <br />County Rd 13. I'm amazed at his foresight. In reality what the City Council of Elk River is <br />planning to do is destroy a beautiful residential neighborhood by lying to its citizens about its <br />intentions the result being traffic increasing in an insurmountable amount. Also, these same <br />people are going to realize that Xavier Street, which connects to 189th Avenue, is also an outlet <br />for them. Therefore, you will have a tremendous amount of traffic in a residential neighborhood <br />with a lot of children present. <br />I am vehemently opposed to this proposal as I'm sure everybody else in this <br />neighborhood is also. I hope the City Council has the guts to vote what the citizens who voted for <br />them want and not what lines Mr. Farbers pockets. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Joseph S. Glowacki <br />
