Michael and Maura Severin RECEIVED <br />6012 - 500' Street North <br />Lake Elmo, MN 55042 <br />November 24, 2006 <br />City of Lake Elmo <br />Re: Miller Variance <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />I have lived next to the property in question for 27 years. I feel I know what is there as <br />welt as anyone. <br />I see no reason to deny this request for a variance. Having lived in the neighborhood <br />for 27 years, I have seen many homes built, some on lots smaller than this. <br />Through the years, several attempts have been made to secure this property for the <br />purpose of building. However, the only access to the property was on unimproved city <br />streets that all knew well would never be improved. <br />Poor planning in 1926 still effects some properties in this neighborhood. This property <br />now has good access on an existing driveway, meets lot size requirements pursuant to <br />the 60% rule, and has perked out well for a septic system. <br />I see no reason to deny the current owners full use of their property. It only seems fair <br />that if a property is assessed taxes and street improvements, that it should also be <br />treated the same as any of the other properties in the neighborhood, Granting this <br />variance will give the city the opportunity to vacate existing, worthless streets and clean <br />up Denny Lanes mess from 1926. <br />Resp7tfully bmitted, <br />Michael and Maura Severin <br />/f Yl-z `- o7C <br />
