DAVID B. HARM/ELL <br /> 1801 WEST FARM ROAD <br /> LONG LAKE, MN 55356 <br /> (612) 476-2478 <br /> May 1 6 , 1989 <br /> Paul Swanson <br /> 1995 West Farm Road <br /> Long Lake , Minnesota 55356 <br /> Dear Paul, <br /> I'm not sure what the procedure is with regard to <br /> neighborhood approval of the new house you intend to <br /> build is but I thought I would put down in writing my <br /> comments about the project for you. <br /> I have looked over the plans you gave me and I can <br /> see nothing in the design of the house which upsets me . <br /> My real concern is what the landscaping around the <br /> house will look like . <br /> There is nothing naturally on the lot in question <br /> which will soften the effect of any building. I think <br /> that you need to include some landscaping with large <br /> trees to keep the house from becoming an eyesore like <br /> the recently built house on North Farm Road. Small <br /> shrubs or trees will just leave us with years to wait <br /> for nature to take its course . <br /> I would like to see some sort of plan which out- <br /> lines your landscaping plans . <br /> I might add that I would appreciate it if the <br /> driveway could be planned to allow for the equal spac- <br /> ing of the boulevard trees as the are now laid out. I <br /> seem to have committed myself to planting and replant- <br /> ing those trees until they all live. A house on the <br /> vacant lot might actually mean that someone might water <br /> them. <br /> I know you probably do not like to have to invest <br /> in transplanting large trees in addition to the con- <br /> struction of the house but I think it would add value <br />
