Alistair & Karen Jacques 645 Old Long Lake Road. Orono, MN 55391 <br /> Mr. Scott Oberaigner, Public Works Supervisor <br /> City of Orono <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway <br /> / <br /> Orono, MN 55356 Am <br /> November 15, 2009 Cx<009 <br /> � <br /> oFwRONO <br /> Dear Mr. Oberaigner, <br /> We received your letter, dated November 12, 2009, which demands that we move the rocks at <br /> the end of our driveway. <br /> I was not notified in person, nor by voice message prior to receiving this letter. Your letter is the <br /> first notification I have received. I do recall a door-hanger with a hand-written request to "call <br /> Scott" (I can now assume this is you). The request was scribbled on the back of a door-hanger, <br /> specifically designed to be used for another purpose. It did not identify you as a City official, nor <br /> did it specify the reason for my needing to call you back. Therefore, I treated the message in <br /> the same way I treat all unsolicited requests for me to contact an unknown party... I discarded it. <br /> The rocks represent expensive landscaping aimed at preventing folks from driving over the <br /> grass and flowers at the corners of our driveway. Can we assume the City supports our efforts <br /> to beautify the community? If we must move the rocks, can the City suggest an alternate <br /> method for protecting the corners of our driveway? For example, would the City build a curb? <br /> We will be very upset if the City simply confiscates our property, without giving us a reasonable <br /> opportunity to understand and respond to your demand. <br /> First, I would like to understand why the rocks must be moved and whether other houses on Old <br /> Long Lake Road are being asked to do the same? For example: <br /> 925 Old Long Lake Rd - Boulders less than 5 ft from roads 1 ' w', ® yr.�c4 <br /> 965 Old Long Lake Rd - Boulders less than 3 ft. from road.— �(-e/ E'' � <br /> etiV <br /> 985 Old Long Lake Rd - Boulders less than 2 ft. from road.— 7 i (,rte lifC% �ry" 't <br /> 934 Old Long Lake Rd - White Driveway Fence less than 2 ft. from road. <br /> 1000 Old Long Lake Rd - Gated Driveway& Boulders less than 5 ft. from road. <br /> 1020 Old Long Lake Rd - Mailbox with large barrel less than 2 ft from road. <br /> 1010 Old Long Lake Rd - Boulders less than 1 ft. from road. — �,� <br /> 1020 Old Long Lake Rd - Boulders less than 1 ft. from road. 1 �) f/Z /1,� Z <br /> 1030 Old Long Lake Rd - Boulders less than 1 ft. from road. el f 7' r ' <br /> We would appreciate a written response.
