FONKEN <br />LOUIS R. TILTON <br />KENT E. CHARPENTIER <br />GREGORY G. HEACOX <br />CAROL A. HOOTEN <br />GEO. DAVID ROES <br />ROBERT A. BRODIN <br />ROBERT L. GJORVAD <br />GEORGE W. KUEHNER <br />ROBERT J. TYRRELL <br />OF COUNSEL <br />I am representing John Guzik in the matter involving his application for <br />water hook -up to City water in Little Canada. I need not discuss the <br />specifics of this application in view of the fact that Mr. Guzik advised <br />me that you are quite familiar with an application he has made and the <br />denial of that application by the City Council of Little Canada. I have <br />briefly discussed this matter with your City Attorney and he has suggested <br />that I write this letter to you with a copy to him. <br />Following the last City Council meeting regarding this matter, Mr. Guzik <br />has attempted to contact the neighbors for the purpose of obtaining their <br />signatures approving his hook -up to the water main but has been unsuccessful <br />in getting everyones approval. I advised Mr. Guzik that in my opinion the <br />City of Little Canada cannot lawfully delegate to its citizens the power to <br />approve or deny the hook -up to a public water main. Furthermore, it has been <br />brought to my attention that the City Council of Little Canada has approved <br />the hook -up to this same water main by a property at 537 Schletty Drive. <br />That hook -up was allowed only approximately one year ago and after Mr. Guzik <br />bought his property. <br />It only requires a brief research into the law to conclude that Mr. Guzik has <br />a right to hook -up to available City water. <br />00 <br />
