Ms. Sheldon September 4, 1996 Page Two1111 Our investigation of this matter on behalf of our clients is continuing. However, based upon our initial conversation with them, review of the Mounds View Ordinances, and review of the proposed Site Plan, we believe that approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the site, as presently proposed, would be arbitrary and capricious. If this project is approved, the parking lot for the church will be extremely close to our client' s home. The serious impact on our client's property is obvious since their deck will look out over the parking lot and individuals parking at the site will literally be able to look right into their home. This is a completely unacceptable situation and our clients have no alternative but to use all legal remedies available to them in the event the City grants the Conditional Use Permit. These remedies of course include legal action against the City or application for a Writ of Mandamus to enjoin the issuance of the permit. It is clear that the City's Ordinances provide ample rationale in support of a denial of the Conditional Use Permit. We encourage the Planning Commission to recommend against approval of the Conditional Use Permit. Our clients intend to be1111 present at the Planning Commission Meeting to express their concerns. Although I will not be appearing at the Planning Commission Meeting, it is our intent to appear at the City Council Meeting when the issuance of the Conditional Use Permit is considered by the Council. Please distribute a copy of this letter to the Planning Commission for their information. I thank you in advance for your attention to this matter. Very truly yours, SWEENEY, BORER & OSTROW Auji .
