To: City of Pequot Lakes Panning and Zoning Commission <br /> Concerning: Variance request by Thomas and Janice Link <br /> My name is Elaine May, my daughter, Alison May and I own the property at 5895 <br /> Inland Trails Road, in Pequot Lakes. <br /> In October of 2007, I spoke with Mr. Links's contractor and expressed concern that the <br /> cement blocks for the new garage appeared to be too close to the property line. <br /> Mr. Link called me and said he knew where the property line was. <br /> I suggested we have the property surveyed and I would be willing to split the cost. <br /> Mr. Link denied my offer and the garage was built. <br /> Spring 2008: I consulted with my brother(a business and real estate owner),two real <br /> estate agents, a survey company, and the man who will handle my estate upon my death. <br /> All advised me to have the property surveyed as this could affect the value of my <br /> IN1.1 property. <br /> I am saddened by this unfortunate incident. When I spoke with Mr. Link in the fall of <br /> 2007, he assured me he would not store anything of the side of the garage closest to me. <br /> However, he did. He chose to store his pontoon trailer there. His actions precipitated me <br /> to have the property at 5895 Inland Trails Road surveyed. <br /> I am disappointed in Mr. Links disregard for the effect on my property and the disregard <br /> of the city ordinances of Pequot Lake. <br /> Should you choose to grant this variance, I request the following: to be reimbursed for the <br /> cost of surveying my property and a legal agreement which would prevent anything <br /> from being stored on the side of the garage closest to my property line. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Elaine May <br />
