� Thanks again, and I'd be happy to clarify any of this via email, on the phone, or in person. We are not trying to <br /> be nitpickers but we have gone from looking at trees to looking at concrete, lounge chairs, an 'd tndl� ri 1 <br /> equipment -- all after being guaranteed by neighborhood covenants that that wouldn't happen. Now that it has, <br /> we just need someone to show that the covenants actually mean something. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> �c��� <br /> Rick Apple �� <br /> v�b�, � <br /> � <br /> On Mon, Jun 30, 2014 at 11:39 AM, Melanie Curtis <MCurtis�a,ci.orono.mn.us>wrote: <br /> Rick <br /> I apologize for the delay in my response to you but wanted to go out to view the site before responding, I viewed the <br /> Winkey site from off of the property at your request and observed the areas where you indicated trees were removed. I <br /> agree that there were trees removed from some or most of the locations where the retaining walls were constructed. It <br /> also appears that, as you indicated, the Winkeys have planted some smailer replacement trees in the areas of removal. <br /> The Sugar Woods Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions document indicates that the City shall have the <br /> right, but not the obligation, to enforce the provisions in Article IX, Sections 14 and 16. In the end, it is a HOA document <br /> to be enforced by the HOA. Based on my review of the site there isn't a specific reason the City would step in to require <br /> restoration. I think you indicated that you want your complaint to remain confidential and that you prefer not to <br /> approach the HOA. However, it is the HOA who should provide some guidance and/or require planting of additional trees <br /> for screening. <br /> I would like to suggest that in the future when permits are received for projects in the Sugar Woods development the City <br /> will withhold the issuance of the permit until the HOA provides written approval of the plans. I think this would force a <br /> more active review role by the HOA. What do you think? <br /> Please feel free to call me to discuss this further if you wish. <br /> Thanks— Melanie <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> Direct 952.249.4627 <br /> Planning &Zoning Office 952.249.4620 <br /> Email: mcurtisan.ci.orono.mn.us <br /> Website: www.ci.orono.mn.us <br /> 2 <br />
