January 20, 1997 FROM: Orrin S. & Carol S. Clover 7973 20th Ave. No. Hugo,MN 55038 TO: Mayor&City Council; City Of Lino Lakes 1189 Main St. Lino Lakes,MN 55014 ATTENTION: Mayor&City Council; In the early part of 1996 I wrote to Margaret Langfeld about the on-going problem my family is having with the constant snowmobile noise coming from the existing trail that goes through our neighbors field very close to our house. She wrote us back stating that there was nothing the county could do, but she would send our letter to the Lino Lakes City Council. Well, I believe we've waited long enough for you people to do something about it. This year the noise has been constant. Your so called curfew means absolutely nothing on this side of the city. My work hours with MN\DOT during the snow periods are 1:30AM to 2:OOPM. There have been plenty of those shifts this winter. I try to get some sleep when I get home but that's basically impossible. We can not understand why the trail has to go in this particular place. There is so much open area on this side of Lino Lakes that there is no reason it can't go somewhere else where it isn't going to bother people. There is an open area to the north of our land. It is being used for nothing. If they go across that particular area and end up in the northeast corner they will be across from 80th street. It seems as if the trail club does not want to move the trail because it will cause them some work. I'm sure that nothing can be done this year because it would cause work and thinking to change the trail in midwinter although it could be simply done. But we trust that you will do something next summer so that we will not have to put up with this again next winter. We have talked to Mrs. Istvanovich, who owns the land that the trail is on. She keeps telling us that she is going to tell the trail club she doesn't want them on her land. I'm sure she forgets as she is quite elderly. We thank you very much for the consideration. Here's hoping you don't put this letter off to the side and forget about it. Again we thank you. Sincerely; 4,W)
