There will be another group of individuals that will participate in the 'underground economy' where <br /> they get the brother-in-law of a friend of theirs to repave the driveway at some point when nobody <br /> is paying attention. They may get caught; but they may not be caught. To some, the risk of a fme <br /> and having to apologize after the fact is worth the chance instead of having to change what already <br /> exists on their property. <br /> There are certainly going to be quite a few law abiding souls who will abide by the rules because <br /> those are the rules; but even then there will be discontent over not being able to simply replace <br /> what has existed for decades previously. It is this sort of scenario that breeds cynicism and anger <br /> in the hearts of the residents. It does not have to be this way. <br /> And so in closing let me reiterate that I am in favor of removing the language in the present <br /> ordinance which restricts residential properties to a single curb cut. And, I'd also ask for <br /> consideration of changing the city's view of repaving a driveway from considering it a <br /> reconstruction/construction process to one of ordinary property maintenance, thus averting the <br /> need for many unnecessary variance applications. <br /> I thank you for your time and consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Dan Coughlin <br /> Mounds View homeowner& Vice President of Brinkman-Russell Home Improvements <br /> 8468 Spring Lake Road <br /> Mounds View, MN 55112-6154 <br /> DanC@isd.net <br />
