Steven D. Petersen (41 <br /> 1720 Larpenteur Ave. W, #1D <br /> Falcon Heights, Minnesota 55113 <br /> September 28, 1992 <br /> SEP 3 0 1992 <br /> Mayor Tom Baldwin <br /> c/o Shirley G. Chenoweth <br /> City of Falcon Heights <br /> 2077 W. Larpenteur <br /> Falcon Heights, Mn 55113 <br /> Dear Mayor Baldwin: <br /> I request that after the November 3, 1992 election the City of Falcon <br /> Heights move its voting location from the Falcon Heights United Church <br /> of Christ at 1795 Holton back to the Falcon Heights public school at <br /> 1392 Garden Avenue. <br /> My reasons for this are: <br /> 1) This is a needless entanglement of state and church. When the <br /> public school was closed, the Church of Christ generously offered <br /> their facility free of charge and they should be thanked for that. <br /> However, now that we taxpayers reinvested in the school and it is <br /> open and functioning again, it should be used to its fullest potental. <br /> 2) The Falcon Heights public school is more in line with the Secretary <br /> of State's guidelines: <br /> A. Handicap Accessibility: <br /> Both are handicap accessible, but Falcon Heights School has <br /> more doors without thresholds. The Church of Christ's curb <br /> indentation at the street is frequently and inadvertently <br /> blocked. <br /> B. Parking: <br /> The Church of Christ's parking lot is across Garden Ave. so <br /> in reality most voters park on the street. <br /> The Falcon Heights School has a parking lot around the <br /> building, making accessiblity for the elderly and <br /> handicapped safer and easier. <br />
