3524 Harding Street, N. E. <br /> St . Anthony, MN 55418 <br /> September 20, 1993 <br /> To Whom It May Concern: <br /> We wish to have you hear our - opinion on the variance requested <br /> for 3515 Harding . However, we will be out of town on the night <br /> of the meeting. We request you read this letter as part of the <br /> neighbors ' input . -We are supplying Mr. Dick with a copy, also. <br /> City code laws are made to provide for the good of the greatest <br /> number of residents of St. Anthony. Giving a variance to a code <br /> should be done only when necessary to prevent closing of a business <br /> or to prevent severe hardship on a citizen. Neither of these is <br /> true in this request.. <br /> There is no hardship on the person requesting this variance if it <br /> is denied and the 5 foot code is enforced. <br /> But there certainly is a hardship to the Dick family if the vari- <br /> ance is allowed and the garage is moved to 3 feet from the Dick <br /> property. Dicks are long-time residents of this block and have <br /> done an outstanding job maintaining their property to help make <br /> the 3500 block attractive. <br /> The newcomer requesting the variance has done little .. to improve <br /> the appearance of his property and the driveway has been an eye- <br /> sore for the neighbors. In addition, the garage has not been <br /> maintained and is probably not in a condition to be moved. <br /> Certainly long-time residents , as the Dicks are, deserve consider- <br /> ation over a new resident wanting a variance that will be a dis- <br /> tinct detraction to the well-maintained Dick property. <br /> Sincerely, <br />
