In considering these requests, we would like you to <br />be aware, for background purposes, of the attitude he has exh.oited <br />toward us and our property which abuts his project on the south <br />side. <br />On July 12-13 while clearing his property of trees and brush, he <br />cleared approximately four feet into our property, removing ten <br />trees with a diameter of 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 inches. In trying to resolve <br />this matter, he and/or his :ob superintendant stated three times <br />that unless we were "reasonaLle" he would "run hi,3 _-•ucks over our <br />shrubbery." Since we did not agree to settle -­ ..,. ,s he has <br />deemed "reasonable", it is our understanding t,.,; :s of Thursday <br />August 17th, he has instructed his attorney to t - to request the <br />city to overrule its officials and bend to his shrubbery destruction <br />wishes. The shrubbery in question is on the dedicated right of way <br />of a privately maintained road and off the currently used roadway. <br />As far as we know, there is no business need for this request. <br />In an effort to accommodate parking needs, we have allowed and con- <br />tinue to allow his workman to park on and use for turn around <br />purposes portions of our driveway. <br />Also during the clearing process, brush and trees were piled on <br />our property and as of this writing still remain. Even though <br />we have asked him to move the pile to his property, he has not <br />acceded to our verbal and written requests. <br />Mr. Morse is now in the process of installing a dock. As of today, <br />the dock is being positioned in such a manner that it angles across <br />the extension of our property line. Even though we previously sent <br />him a copy of the Lake Xinnetonka Conservation District regulations <br />he has chosen to construct the dock in violation of those regulations. <br />Since we have experienced a series of abuses,we have concerns about <br />granting additional variances. We expect to be at the meeting Monday <br />night. <br />Sixiaerely, <br />Charles and Ann Hommeyei <br />cc: D. Coetten <br />Orono Offices <br />
