KJ,N,_ vkra kci-4) Lui -I S_LA n L( A -Pie 40 G f5 Dear Lake Elmo Planning Commission: My name is Charles Anderson, I own and operate the Animal Inn Training School. 1 have been recently notified to an upcoming public hearing/meeting regarding an application my neighbor, Animal Inn Boarding Kennel, have submitted. I am unable to attend the Monday May 22, 2000 meeting, but would like to, however, submit my personal views of Donald and Joan Tauer dba Animal Inn Boarding Kennel, Inc. The Tauer's purchased the boarding business from me in 1986. I have seen nothing but positive changes since they have taken over the boarding kennel. They strive to offer the very best care available in the pet boarding industry. The new building they purchased, is a beautifully designed boarding area that shows how dedicated they are in maintaining only the highest quality of services offered in the industry. Being their neighbor has been a priyilage over the years. I could not ask for better neighbors to share a driveyvay and property lines with. They also maintain a high standard as to the grounds being a well landscaped first impression. Sincerely, Charles Anderso Animal Inn Training School C��Ssp'1- 4rv,P'I4% Co,v/io/ 0 t, . /1, G c /7:4 c cv,v e✓ �. a/ cU Z !4 e tr iz o/ 2 41'/,4it ie ram ,./OZra t(/ /S d /%5J1 /CJ - 2 1 6109 SiloJ r�20.rh d4k/.tomot3d Ahem/i']hl l/UnJ vj (7/1/ /"/eicSjq,aTo.v 7---431/A.d' M P s r° e G o "27/0G,o-ti7-; IN eit c4-/-eiz m7:-fy�c3r T� %o 4 07-//ec/'-` __ A °U -2.7T4 57, /L, Gl2e, TLC /o nJ PJ n-i il-e !iJ u/rj A S 74 e.

I.g Village Land Use Plan will apply to those areas within the Old Village Area north of 30th St. (This does not change the Village Area boundaries). 2. The outer boundaries of the green belt will be as described in the LEVC Land Use Plan. 3. The western interior boundary of the green belt north of State Highway 5 will be County Road 17 to maximize the visual impact of the green belt. 4. The PZ recommends that development in Area 1 stop at the northern boundary of the Brookfield Addition platted area, while the LEVC recommends that development be allowed further north to increase the viability of the Village Area north of State Highway 5, promote traffic calming and to provide a receiving area for TDR, if needed. 5. Area 2 will be developed at an average density of four units/acre with the eastern boundary defined by the requirements of TDR, if used, and by the needs of a critical mass to permit viability of the Old Village area. Specific uses would include senior housing and athletic facilities. 6. Area 3 will be developed at an average density of four units/acre with the eastern boundary defined by the requirements of TDR, if used, and by the needs of a critical mass to permit viability of the Old Village area. 7. Area 6 of the LEVC land Use Plan will be used for necessary municipal buildings as described in both plans. 8. The land within the green belt will be set aside through transfer of development rights, purchase of development rights, voluntary conservation easements, purchase or donation. The PZ plan would also include the open areas of OP developments. The LEVC opposes the latter because of its effect of increasing net density immediately surrounding the green belt.
