Box 66 C/T���d/�p <br /> Crystal Bay, MN 55323 NO <br /> Dear Council Members: <br /> This letter is in response to home occupation license application made hy Jeff and Tracy <br /> Cordes, Metm Pro Inc. for residential property located at 830 Forest Arms Lane. <br /> As adjacent property owners at 800 Forest Arms Lane, we do not support this home <br /> occupation license application for the following reasons: <br /> • The neighborhood is zoned RI—Residential, one-acre min. lot� <br /> • The day-to-day operation of the business affects our quality of lif� The <br /> following activity is both seen and heard regularly. <br /> • The business operation regularly uses heavy equipment including a 3/4 ton <br /> pickup truck with large trailer attachment used for hauling mowing <br /> equipment or a dump trailer hauling a bobcat or landscaping materials <br /> (trees, shrubs). <br /> • This equipment as well as employee vehicles use a recently created gravel <br /> driveway abutting our property in order to access a storage facility behind <br /> the house from the street. <br /> • Potential nffect a zoning variance would have on the value of our property. As <br /> we move to a new phase in our life, we are in the process of selling our home. A <br /> zoning variance would directly affect its value and appeal to potential buyers. <br /> Wanting to be neighborly, we are sympathetic to our neighbors hope to build a new <br /> business. In fact, we even hired him when his business wasn't a full-scale landsca.ping <br /> business but merely lawn mowing with a John Deere garden tractor. However, the <br /> operation of a full-scale landscaping business(www.metroproinc.com) directly and <br /> negatively impacts our quality of life. <br /> S�nser� / <br /> /,. <br /> �-� - � ���mz.�--� �-�,.������� �..�:.-,--� <br /> Robert and Janis Bonnema ,' <br /> 800 Forest Arms Lane ` <br /> Orono, MN 55364 <br />
