To whom It may concern (especially neighbors to Lord Fletchers <br />Restaurant)» <br />During the nearly 10 years (10/76 to 8/86) that we resided <br />at 3781 Sunset Drive, Spring Park, Mn-, we experienced <br />numerous problems with our immediate neighbors (Fletchers <br />parking lot and restaurant). <br />When we first moved in we were haunted with litter, mostly <br />beer bottles in our yard. The worst was the noise from the <br />parking lot especially early morning hours. People also <br />parked in the front yard and behind our house. <br />Spring of 1979 or 1980 Fletchers came to us about building <br />a parking lot next to our house on a lot they had purchased. <br />The lot had a small house and garage on it. Fletchers prom­ <br />ised us a privacy fence and the lot would be used for employee <br />parking only. <br />The parking lot was put in but the problems worsened, instead <br />of improving as we were led to believe. The parking was not <br />restricted to employees only and the traffic was in and out <br />continually, mostly at high speeds causing a major dust problem. <br />We could not allow our children to play in their own front yard <br />because of this. In May of 1983 a woman was brutally beaten <br />in the parking lot next to our houje, she was heard screaming <br />and we hao no call the police to help. Because o^ horn honking, <br />many fights and noise we were forced to call nhe police repeat­ <br />edly. Our attempt to paint the house was even Interrupted <br />by an employee of Fletchers who sprayed rocks and dust at us <br />with his car which caused us more time and work. Mr. Alan <br />Bell said he would take care of the problem and then Invited <br />us over for a free Sunday brunch. <br />We lived with this for 10 years and sympathize with the neigh­ <br />bors of Fletchers. Our excitement of our first home was quickly <br />destroyed soon after the parking lot was built, our children <br />were deprived of a normal residential neighborhood atmosphere. <br />We also hope that Fletchers is not <br />allowed to expand their parking on to 3781 Sunset Drive at the <br />sake of the neighborhood. <br />Sincerely N <br />wivne & Jackie Davis
