February 28, 2012 <br /> Lyle Oman <br /> City of Orono <br /> Re: 180 Big Island <br /> To Whom It May Concern: <br /> It was brought to my attention that an error was made and proper procedure <br /> was not followed when we had some tree work done on our property at the above <br /> address. <br /> This past summer, a tree on our bank near the lake broke and damaged part <br /> of our dock, as well as our stairs. We were grateful this occurred in the middle of <br /> the night and not during the day when our children are frequently on the dock. <br /> Serious injury or death would most likely have occurred. During the clean up of that <br /> incident, the tree trimmer noticed other limbs and a tree that should be removed for <br /> safety reasons, and we agreed to hire him to come out over the winter when the ice <br /> was frozen to complete the work. <br /> As long time homeowners in multiple cities, we have never, to our <br /> knowledge, needed a permit to remove a tree on our property. I am now educated <br /> and realize we should have sought a permit through the city to have this tree <br /> removed. If any work such as this occurs in the future,we will ensure to follow this <br /> procedure. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. <br /> If any future correspondence needs to occur regarding this matter, please <br /> contact me at the information provided below. <br /> Regards, <br /> Suzanne Myers <br /> 612-306-3725 <br /> 11711 56th Street North <br /> Lake Elmo, MN 55042 <br />
