• 2917 33rd Avenue N.E. St. Anthony, Minnesota 55418 February 20, 1996 Mr. Michael Mornson, City Manager ST. ANTHONY VILLAGE 3301 Silver Lake Road St. Anthony,Minnesota 55418-1699 Dear Mr. Mornson, Thank you for your letter of January 24, 1996. I have been intending to contact the City since we managed to avoid foreclosure November 30, 1995. As part of our refinance, a$10,000.00 construction fund has been established by our lender • to assist us in completing our home construction. Following receipt of your letter,Mr. Rolf Widlund of SCANDINAVIAN HOME CONSTRUCTION was hired to complete our garage construction. In response to your letter I asked Mr. Widlund to contact the City Offices to advise Mr. Hamer that we were making plans to proceed with our construction, and I'm told that he has recently had one or two conversations with Mr. Hamer or the building inspector about our construction plans. Mr. Widlund hopes to begin the completion of our garage within the month and anticipates that construction may take less than a month,weather permitting. Unfortunately, completion of the garage will consume almost the entire $10,000.00 construction fund so the remaining work to be completed on our house will have to be done mostly by us,with perhaps some volunteer help. This will obviously take longer than would be required by a professional builder, never the less I feel all work could be satisfactorily completed within the terms of a six month building permit. Of equal concern is the threatening tone of the letter from the City Prosecutors, Foster, Ojile,Wentzell and Brever. Perhaps this is partly due to the date of the letter allegedly sent by you on January 17, 1996. Your letter which we received is dated January 24, 1996 possibly giving the City Prosecutors the impression that more time had elapsed
