ranuary 10, 1984 Mayor and City Council City of Orono Box. 66 Crystal Bay, Mn. 55323 Cea r t'ayor and C i , Counc i I: This is to answer a letter we recieved from Bruce Malkerson'today. Tom Rutten, Paul Smith's attorney, called two days before Christmas and acein betr:een Christmas and New Years. He spoke both times to Mrs. Powers. Fe said he would call back around Jan. 3• We have not heard from him to date. We have been waiting since Sept. to hee- something from Smith or his attorney. Finally %..e gave up and Plans A,B,C were put array. We found that the value placed on our lot by the company doing the plans was about $26,000 less than that of it's taxed value. We agreed to a plan over one year ago, and do not need nor want to wait 30 days longer, we have been waitirig for 2 years for Smith to get his act together. Nor, Widmer looked at both lots the first of Sept. We would be glad to have his company do the work and would leave the decision to him as to v:hich Plan he thinks would be the best and with the least damage to the crourds. If Smith changes contractors, again, we request to be informed. Smith nor his attorney has presented any kind of an agreement to us. We told Tom Rutten that we would require all plans for repair of she land in r:riting. We refuse to take blame fer delaying this project, it has costed u- much wasted time and many dollars. The selling of either house has been im- possible for the last two years because of this delay. Mrs. Powers told the Council almost 2 years ago that we wanted the project completed "like Yesterday". The Smiths were here for about 4 weeks last summer but made no attempt to settle the problem. Please do what you can to bring an end to this invasion of our privacy and the waste of all of our time. Very truly yours, •1 1.. cc Bruce Malkerson Tcm Put ten ,�
