Exhibit A September 16, 2004 Ms. Barbara Matelsky 7830 Gloria Circle Mounds View, MN 55112 Dear Ms. Matelsky; I am sending you this letter of understanding in an effort to address and document your wishes to alter the plan and assessment role for the 2003 Street Improvement Project. Based on our telephone conversation yesterday, you were informed that the City has an ordinance that allows for one curb cut per residential property. This ordinance was adopted on January 22, 1979. At this time, your property has two paved accesses; a horseshoe shaped driveway connecting Hillview Road to Gloria Circle, and one non-paved access; to an out building off of Hillview Road. Based on the aforementioned City Ordinance, a curb cut will not be allowed for access to the outbuilding located off of Hillview Road. It is my understanding that because the ordinance does not allowed this, you are now requesting that your existing paved access onto Hillview Road be eliminated as part of the 2003 Street Improvement Project. The City will remove the existing asphalt driveway onto Hillview Road by saw cutting at or near the property line and removing the asphalt from that point to the street. The City will add topsoil to this area and provide sod. A concrete barrier curb will be placed along the entire length of Hillview Road adjacent to your property. Staff will then present a proposed revision to the assessment role for the 2003 Street Improvement Project to the City Council to reduce your assessment by an amount equal to the total cost to provide a second concrete apron. The proposed revision will reduce the assessment of your property from the current amount of $3,364.27 to the proposed revised amount of $2,475.59 ($888.68 dollar reduction)
