WALLACE E. BOHACH 1330 County Road No. 6 Long I.-ke, Minnesota 55356 Phone (612) 476-2746 26 December, 1986 Mr. .John Adams 2095 Webber Hills Road Wayzata, MN 55391 Dear Mr. Adams: Together with our neighbor, John Sheehan, we have considered your proposal that we grant an easement over our private drive And allow the construction of a private road to serve your development, Knoll Manor. We have deliberated over this proposal with a spirit of cooperation, but have nevertheless come to the conclusion that granting the easemen+-. is not in our best interest, the city's or yours. We must deny your request. We are anxious to preserve the character of the entrance to our homes. A new road 24 feet wide would change the char- acter of our land markedly. We would lose some of our pri- vacy as well. The character of our homes and the privacy that we. enjoy are good and valid reasons, along with shelter, that we have chosen to live hera. Your original proposal to the city makes sense. The use of the existing drive onto the property is economical for you and has no effect on your neighbors. Your other proposal, to enter the development via Tanglewood Road, is also economical for you, while being of no real consequence to the residents and owners of Tanglewood Road. There are more economical ways for you to provide access to your development, and those same ways do notning to intrude on your neighbors. An easement over our drive, or any com- bination of drives with us and Knoll Manor would be very costly for you, and leave us with an intrusive presence that has changed, for the worse, our homesites. Since it is un- necessary, it is truly an imposition to even consider it. I hope that you will be able to reason with the city planners and convince them of the good sense of using the present drive or entering Knoll Manor via Tanglewood Road. Sincerely,yours, i Wallace E.
