Gentlemen:
R�CEG�fj
JUN 1 0 1974
We understand that the Council has scheduled hearings on
Tuesday, June 11, 1974, at 8:00 P.M. in the City Hall to
hold a public hearing on various street improvements
consisting of the bituminous surfacing including Ashley
Lane from Dodd Road to Delaware Avenue. I will be out
of town on this date and, accordingly, would respectfully
request that I be allowed to express my position on this
street improvement on Ashley Lane from Dodd Road to
Delaware Avenue.
I really feel that under normal conditions I would not
have any right to express an opinion regarding the proposed
improvements in that Ashley Lane, running east and west on
the northerly rear end of my property located at 11 Beebe
Avenue, does not in any way indirectly or directly serve
or benefit my residential property. Driveway access to
our home is from Beebe Avenue and all available city
services such as fire, police protection, etc. plus any
other traffic to and from our home can only reach the
home from the driveway on Beebe avenue. The northerly
rear lot line abutting on Ashley Lane does not provide
access from Ashley because of heavy planting of shrubbery,
trees, bushes, etc. However, since if these proposed
street improvements are constructed and it is my understanding
that my property would be assessed for any improvements
because it abutts on Ashley Lane, I would like to say that
we are opposed to the proposed street improvements on
Ashley Lane between Delaware Avenue and Dodd Road and
respectfully request a negative vote by the Council toward

the proposed street improvements. If the Council does
approve the street improvements and they are made and our
property is assessed, I would then have to consider the
possibility of seeking relief from such assessments if
relief is available under Minnesota Statutes on the basis
of the improvements not benefiting or directly or indirectly
affecting the property that we own at 11 Beebe Avenue.
Thank you very much for considering my opposition to the
proposed improvement on Ashley Lane between Delaware Avenue
and Dodd Road.

PETITION TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS TO REMOVE
FROM THE PROPOSED LIST OF 1974 STREET IMPROVEMENTS, THE BITUMINOUS
SURFACING OF IVY FALLS AVE. YROM DODD ROAD (S.T.H. 49) TO SYLVANDALE
ROAD.
We the undersigned, all property owners and residents of Ivy Falls Ave. do
hereby object to the City Council's proposal for the bituminous surfacing
of Ivy Falls Ave. from Dodd Road to Sylvandale. Road for the following reasons:
The estimated cost of the improvements to the property owners is not '
consistent with any possible benefits which may be received by the owners.
It
We feel that the present condition of Ivy Falls Ave. can be improved, if
necessary, at a considerable less cost than would be involved in the
bituminous surfacing of the street as proposed by the City Council.
Even though Ivy Falls Ave. is being used to a certain extent as a direct
link between Highways 49 and 13, it is still basically a residential.
street.
We feel, however, that the improve�Tents_proposed would tend to change the,
character7of the street by causing an increase in the volume of traffic as
well as higher speed traffic and create additional hazards for the children
who live on Ivy Falls Ave.
We, the undersigned, therefore request that the City Council of Mendota Height,9 .
remove from the proposed list of 1974 street improvements, the bituminous surfacing
of Ivy Falls Ave. from Dodd Road (S.T.H. 49) to Sylvandale Road.
