I ca�l�d AI;n Olsc:: c�n <br /> Oct 3� ar.d he told :�e tnat y�u war:t to put tt�is ^:aratc�ri�*� <br /> int� effect sa you can decide how r.uch larger to r�a}:� ��e <br /> �inimu�n acre_age for building. The current ninim•.:m is 2 acr�s <br /> �y atterney te21s me that to rnake it any larg�r is t� inhibit <br /> � de�Telopment a matter that he felt Z cot�ld take to court and win. <br /> 111so my p�ece of prop�rty is approx. 4 acres and to enlarge the <br /> r:iinir.�am uuilding site i� to make ny prope��y valuel:��:- , a �reGt <br /> �ersonal disaster to me as I had a heart attack 2 yeaYs ago and <br /> am now disabled and that property and its value is very imp_.rtart to <br /> me. 21r. Olson a].so said that the reason for all of this is that <br /> the city of Gro�o cannot give services �Co the islan3 such as fire <br /> and poli�e protec�ion. t�Jhen have y�u ever given t�:is protection <br /> and what d�nger has this presented to a12 �he people o{ the island. <br /> 2ealistly yc� never could and never wi1.1 be abl.e to give t�i� island i <br /> any s�rvices and my taxPs have trippl�d in the last 6 years . I <br /> �•�ould think that is a great deal for •your city. Further Z have <br /> for years b?�en an ecology nut and have never built anything on my <br /> property even though there were as many as 5 buildings on the proper}• <br /> as late as 1950 and now there are non�. By raising my tax�•s ar.d <br /> trying .*.o force my property to become valueless you force rne to <br /> begin thinking about imr�ideate development and possible subdivision <br /> :�tany yeas ago this land was platted and plotted �or many sr�all lots . <br /> I also think some restrictions are necessary as developing this land <br /> the way it is platted and plotted wo•�ld distroy the beauty o£ it but <br /> �ahat you are proposing goes to far . I am not alone in my feeling, <br /> I think that we all feel this is the tip of the ice berg, what next . <br /> Very Sincerly, <br /> i <br /> �� �_ � � _tLci�— <br /> � � ; ,Yv�- . ., ' _ -- <br /> Michael J Weir.er <br /> 5229 Rimberly Rd <br /> Minnetonka , Minnesota 55343 <br /> � <br />
