, . r R��Fi Ms. Evelyn Turner J(/� �� C��'1- ?�2��9 City Planner O�c� RpNO City of Orono Dear Ms.Turner, I am in receipt of your letter date July 8, 2009. As a new resident of the City of Orono, and in fact the state of Minnesota, it is disappointing that the first and only communication I have received from the City is a letter written with the tone and tenor of yours. A visit or even a phone call may have been a courtesy that perhaps your schedule doesn't atlow for. You mention in your letter that vegetation in the backyard of my property "was growing nicel�' in August of last year. Either you were misinformed or the situation changed dramatically before I inspected and closed on the property in late November, and as the spring growing season began this year. Again, it is unfortunate that no one physically took the time to spend looking at my property this spring and to speak with me about my concern for the watershed area I own. I could have certainty pointed out the dismal shape of this area in question and outlined the time, financial commitment, and efforts I, as well as my neighbors, spend preventing soil and nutrient erosion into the pond behind our homes. You state in your letter that pending, "...initiation of legal action...." is your course of remedy. I trust that the administration of the City of Orono, as weli as you your�eif, believes that is the last avenue that two parties take in a misunderstanding and certainly not a fiscally responsible method of conflict resolution. I share the City of Orono's philosophy of preserving our natural resources and open spaces. I wou(d like to speak with you about a superior alternative plan for my property. I will call your office to schedule an appointment in the near future. Regards, --,-.� + . A drew Sisler 2175 Kenwood Way Orono, MN 55391
