It took until January of 1976 <br />to close on the lot as Mr. Braun had some estate work affecting the <br />that had to be cleaied up. At that time we liad a legal floscrip— <br />tion written and approved by the Torrens Office and taxes have Ijeen <br />charged on that parcel ever since. <br />Soon after that, we api^lied for a building permit and were told to get <br />the property surveyed first; wliich we did. Then we wore told that the <br />survey was not enough and we needed to have it on hard shells and mylars. <br />Also, we v;ould need soil testing and again we had this done, (I paid <br />$430.00 for surveyino and $400.00 for soil testing). <br />After that we wore again ready to proceed when we were told of a $2000.00 <br />park dedication fee. This was just about the last straw. For the next <br />several months Braun and I talked about the legality of such a charge <br />and wlio was to pay it. In January 1977, I agreed to pay it. H.ad we <br />any idea that the city had a 6 months time limit on consul's decision's <br />we would have paid it in December of 1976 (10 months ago) and would not <br />be taking you time now. <br />At this point I have tendered Mr. Braun full payment for the lot, the <br />park dedication foe, and two years of Real Estate taxes on the lot. He <br />is now unable to deliver a deed. <br />I feel that a lot of delays in tliis matter are a result of poor direct­ <br />ion from the city to Mr. Braun as to what was necessary to subdivide <br />his property and the city's regulations rogtardrng time limits. <br />As you can imagine I am quite concerned about this matter and would <br />appreciate any lielp you can give. <br />Sfeve Plav.nan c.4445 Maigart Circle <br />Mound, MN 55364 ~ *>•. . . <br />a' <br />PH# <br />'' w <br />■A: <br />• rMl <br />J
