Dan & Colette Maciejeski <br />2557 Spruce Street <br />Little Canada, MN 55117 <br />(651) 484 -7473 <br />June 9, 2000 <br />RE: Townhouse development between Rice and Park streets <br />Parcel No. 07- 29 -22 -22 -0068. <br />City Council & Mr.Jeffrey Bock: <br />Our backyard is the property directly across Park <br />street (parcels 11 -16) from the proposed development <br />driveway. T am unable to attend the city council meeting <br />due to my work schedule and would request the two following <br />concerns be mentioned in the discussions. <br />Our property has the easement for utilities, and also <br />has a line of pine trees growing on it. Our request is that <br />if the utilities are to be tapped in our property, that the <br />digging be done in our existing gravel driveway, rather <br />than cutting down trees to tap in at a different spot. <br />The second point concerns any proposed street <br />lighting, especially on Park street itself. We and our <br />children enjoy astronomy as a hobby. The level of night <br />lighting in our area is already so bright as to wash out <br />most of the stars in the night sky. Our request'is to at <br />least avoid putting in a formal street light at or near the <br />proposed driveway entrance on Park. A street light there <br />would totally ruin what little darkness remains in our <br />backyard. <br />Your consideration of these two matters will be much <br />appreciated. <br />Sincerely, <br />Dan & Colette Maciejeski <br />Page 62A <br />
