Seasonal Weight Restrictions_202402141445303410.pdf <br />Good morning Melanie and City Council <br />I wanted to provide you with my thoughts about the development going in at the end <br />of N Arm Lane. <br />I have attached 2 documents that I pulled from the City's website. You can choose to <br />exclude/include them if you wish. <br />You are also welcome to include my email signature. Thank you <br />Being a Realtor, I honestly believe in Property Rights of landowners. That is, a <br />landowner has the right to do whatever they choose to do with their property as long <br />as it doesn't infringe on the rights of other property owners or disenfranchise them due <br />to loss in value, expenses, issues or problems. <br />I live at 4700 N Arm Dr, Mound, MN 55364. My road will be used as the main route <br />for construction personnel, vehicles, heavy equipment and material transportation. <br />This additional wear and tear on N. Arm Dr and N. Arm Lane will shorten the <br />lifespan of the asphalt that is already near the end of its useful life. When this happens, <br />a City, Township or County would normally assess the property owners who have <br />road frontage to help cover the expense to repair/replace the road. <br />This brings the fight to my door. <br />I am not in favor of any new city assessments that raise my taxes or the taxes of my <br />neighbors! <br />To understand the current condition of North Arm Drive and North Arm Lane, we <br />need to know when these roads were constructed. This would provide useful <br />information as to the site preparation, use of sub-base of materials, roadway <br />construction and the asphalt paving. This information determines the life <br />expectancy of the roadways. <br />This begs to ask: Are we currently past the current life expectancy of these roads? <br />What happened 8-9 years ago with the development of the Lakeview neighborhood? <br />Wasn't North Arm Drive supposed to be repaved after its completion? Why did that <br />not happen? <br />Here's what I recommend. <br />172
