From my previous correspondence you may be able <br />to discern that 1 immediately called James Cradit, the Buceys ’ architect, and suggested <br />that we meet on April 28 or 29, 1994 to discuss how this building project might be <br />compromised to the satisfaction of all. Mr. Cradit took the view that it would be better <br />to wait until he had finalized plans for the Buceys after the input the Buceys got at the <br />April 1994 planning commission meeting. Consequently we have had no meeting yet <br />with either Mr. Cradits or the Buceys to discuss the Smerlings ’ concerns. <br />Mrs. Smerling is out of town on May 4 and 5, 1994 but is available to meet on <br />May 6, 1994 and thereafter. As you can see from my prior correspondence she has <br />retained Bruce Schmidt, an architect in Wayzata, to advise her hoping to come to an <br />agreeable compromise. Mrs. Smerling wants to receive appropriate architectural-type <br />advice, rather than legal advice, about the Buceys ’ new proposal. <br />The concerns I have identified on the attached sheet may or may not be Mrs. <br />Smerling ’s concerns or Bruce Schmidt’s concerns. But do to the shortage of time 1 <br />thought it best to get my laundry list of observations on the table at an early time. As <br />you can see my concerns relate to matters beyond construction of the new house on the <br />bucey lot itself. I believe some of these matters are understood by you. I further <br />understand that the Buceys having been advised of some of these problems and are <br />developing a grading and’drainage plan to address the grading and draining issues. <br />The tree which was cut down is simply a fact. <br />The matter of not dumping leaves over the cliff is a maintenance issue.
