Orono,MN. 55356
Attention; Lyle Oman
Subject: Residential Zoning
Everyone living on Cygnet Place in Orono is very concerned with all the commercial
work taking place at Marge Rossings home located at 130 Cygnet Place.
The external two car heated garage located on their property is used strictly for running a
commercial business of; truck repair, welding, landscaping, snow removal,tree trimming,
wood cutting, pressure washing and painting.
This lot is always very messy and it is a sore-spot for everyone living on Cygnet Place.
A large number of cars and trucks come and go from this lot, and many times wood and
trash is unloaded and processed in this lot. This increase traffic is also a safety concern
with all the children living in the area.
This is not something new, it has been going on for several years. The city has sited them
in the past, however, it has not stopped them from running a commercial business out of
this properly.
All the residents on Cygnet Place are very proud of their residences and this commercial
activity must stop since it has a negative effect on all the other residents. This business is
very disruptive due to; noise generated by his equipment, storage of material &
equipment in the yard, and unsightly parking of cars and trucks.
Home values and taxes have increased every year and Cygnet Place residents can not
understand why the city does not enforce the laws protecting residential home owners
from commercial business.
The intent of this letter is have the city investigate the activity on this lot and take the
necessary action as soon as possiable to protect the other residents on Cygnet Place
The Cygnet Place residents do not feel it is necessary to identify ourselves by name, since
we know the person running the commercial business. Our only concern is to get him to
run his commercial business at another location.
Thank you in advance for investigating

Attention: Mr. Matt Bolterman
Dear Mr. Bolterman:
In reply to your letter dated May 5, 2004, please be advised that there is no business operating on
my property. Bill Vomhof and I have a great many friends that stop by regularly to visit. Bill
has tools that are stored on my property. My brother also lives here and has tools and
equipment in my yard.
I believe that my property is well maintained. Bill Vomhof does most of the yard work and
keeps everything in order. If you have questions regarding that, you can call Bill at
952-475-8497 and discuss it with him.
I will be out of town until May 27`''. If you wish to talk with me, please call me then.
Yours truly,
/ �� '
