From: Thomas Laming_ <br /> To: Melanie Curtis <br /> Subject: LA19-000086 3.Marie Fieger,580 Big Island dock request permit <br /> Date: Friday,November 15,2019 11:48:45 AM <br /> Melanie, <br /> I am writing you to express our concern and objection to the above-referenced permit request <br /> to install a dock on the city right-of-way on the southwest side of Big Island. This right-of- <br /> way was established to provide access to the island for fire/police, public utility companies, <br /> and barge deliveries. This access needs to be kept available for these services, and a private <br /> dock will not be acceptable. <br /> All of us on the Island have been neighbors with the Fieger family for years. Tom Robb, the <br /> owner of 570 Big Island, has shared his dock and access to the property with the Fieger family <br /> for approximately 40 years. <br /> Mr. Rob stated that he is willing to sell an easement to the Fiegers. However, he has been told <br /> by the city that he does not have enough landmass to support an easement, yet the shared <br /> access has been in place since the J. Marie Fieger's parents purchased the property. <br /> If the city is going to make a change to its ordinance, this is the route I suggest the city makes. <br /> Using public access un-necessarily burdens everyone, and whoever buys the Fieger property <br /> will not want to be considered a burden to the neighbors on Big Island. The city should be <br /> willing to provide the easement to Tom Robb's 150' of lake access and keep the peace with all <br /> parties. <br /> Best, <br /> Tom <br /> Thomas Lapping <br /> tlapping@gmai l.com <br /> 612.669.1130 <br />
