MN 55323 <br />RE: G. Marc and Tracey Whitehead Subdivision Application <br />Dear Mike: <br />I am in receipt of your notes on the Planning Commission’s action of <br />September 15, 1997, but recall the Planning Commission’s aaion somewhat <br />differently than your notes report. Accordingly, let n\e respond to the eleven <br />numbered paragraphs of your report as follows: <br />1.I agree that the Plamting Commission recommended that Outlois A and <br />B remain separate outlets. To clarify the second sentence, my <br />recollection is that the restrictive covenants were to prohibit <br />improvement of Outlet A for drainage or driveway purposes and to <br />prohibit tree cutting. I do not recall the Planning Commission directing <br />the alternative of a transfer to tire adjoining OTViter. <br />Agreed. <br />Agreed. <br />The PlaniTing Comnussion recoitimended simply that the owner of Lot 1 <br />work with the City to add screening as might be appropriate. I do not <br />recall the language "sufficient to prevent vehicle headlights from shining <br />into back yard of 1290 Lvinan Avenue". The Whiteheads and I wanted <br />to talk to vou about the type of screening, and even wanted to suggest <br />to you that tlie natural vegetation should provide adequate saccning. <br />The Whiteheads have pliotographs which indicate that tlie woods <br />located on their propeay have been cleared of tinderbrush by the <br />neighboring owi\er. Under these cirCLimstaiTccs, and for other reasons. <br />10 *d l9S98ee2l9 ’ON xyj 301dd0 MVl NOiSNIM S3:11 nHX X6-8l-d3S
