SEP Z 0 1993 September 15, 1993 e Sandra Thackeray Elk River City Clerk P.O. Box 490 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 Gwen R. smith 18290 Fresno Street Elk River, MN 55330 Re: FRESNO STREET ASSESSMENT OBJECTION LOT 1 BLOCK 1 ORONO LAKE THIRD ADDITION Dear City of Elk River: e I am appealing the assessment you have of my property as listed above for street and storm drainage. The 130 feet you listed is being confused with being a street which it is not and has no need for sewer or water. The 130 or less feet you are talking about is a "out-lot" and has never been transferred or bought by myself or my neighbor Mr. Jeff Colbath. I contacted the developer, who has already paid for streets ( another issue), Irv Moldenhauer and he reaffirms that the half lot you are trying to assess me for is an "out lot" and I am not in ownership of it. The City has maintained it throughout winter months for approximately 14 years and Mr. Colbath and I have cut the grass for appearance sake but have not used the land for our own use. As you will see, even if I did own it, there is no street that goes beyond my driveway. Therefore, the most I should be assessed for is from the South corner of my driveway where the street ends and has already gone beyond where it originally ended at the corner of 183rd and Fresno street. I did not ask or want new streets, curbs, sewer or water and feel this whole project is being dumped on the residents along Fresno street, because your sewer line had to go through somewhere and I feel this is the City's responsibility and we should not have to shoulder this burden. Financially as a single parent with two in college I can't pay for the almost $4,600 you are proposing I pay, which is not right or correct. I will be attending the City Council meeting on September 27th for further discussion if needed. e ~nk youiJ_~~ .~ll@Z Il 't<<l't--- , wen R. smit 18290 Fresno Street Elk River, MN 55330
