F 3" �t December 1, 1991 212 Woodridge Ct. Lino Lakes, MN 55014 Carlson, Dropps & Assoc, Inc. Richard Carlson 7671 Old Central Ave. N.E. Fridley, MN 55432 Dear Mr. Carlson, I am writing you regarding the walking path on my lot in Woodridge Estates. I know you are aware of it as well as the problems that have arisen because of it. I am not satisfied with its presence and would like to see it removed as soon as possible. We purchased our lot from our builder, Tony Palaia, on August 10, 1990. My wife and I, along with Tony Palaia and his surveyor reviewed the plat drawings, legal land description and papers provided by you We learned of covenants, easements and restrictions pertaining to the lot and were aware of drainage and utility easements along the south side of our lot. We decided the lot fit our needs and even reversed our house plan and placed our deck on the south side to maximize its potential. Mr. Carlson, we feel you are responsible for this unpleasant situation for the following reasons: 1. The plat drawings provided by you to the builders are different than the one we recently obtained from the City of Lino Lakes. We, in good faith, believed you were providing us with correct documents. 2. We have learned from John Miller, Lino Lakes City Planner, that it was your responsibility to install the walking path before any lots were sold. You were negligent in doing this. Had we known of the walking path we certainly would not have purchased this lot. Because of the path, we have lost much of what we found appealing from the start. We now have a deck that will face a public path which leaves us with a loss of privacy and security. We lost sod that we put down to make our property more attractive and the value of our home is reduced significantly. We do not want this walking path to remain on our property.
