Specifically,you did not speak to the <br /> following issues:i)the improperly graded street and Pequot Lake's responsibility thereto;ii) <br /> A comprehensive information about the charges assessed to my clients(the summary of charges sent to Mr. <br /> and Mrs.Lake was sketchy at best);and iii)explanation of charges for site visits Oer Dawn Bitiner visited <br /> - the Subject Property and determined that all pending work orders were complete. <br /> N <br /> r I ask you.........how are my clients supposed to"indicate which charges should not be assessed to them", <br /> when they don't even know what the charges are for? <br /> a <br /> Without additional information,my clients am unwilling to consider an appeal to the Board of <br /> Adjustments. Additionally,we do not believe the Board of Adjustments has jurisdiction to reclassify <br /> o certain costs to the City of Pequot Lakes(in lieu of my clients),because they are unfamiliar with the road <br /> grading issue.Therefore,my clients will not remit any monies unless and until a settlement agreement is <br /> Y <br /> executed between the parties delineating the balance owing and each parries responsibility,along with a <br /> P final approval of all work done to date so that my clients have assurance that this nightmare is over. <br /> Contrary to your assertion,l have personally visited the Subject Property on many occasions. Don't let my <br /> twin city address deceive I am quite fmniliar with the Lakes area. During visits to <br /> a ty you............. eau PoQuot g my <br /> a the Subject Property,I failed to notice the"egregious"damage you speak of I viewed a newly constructed <br /> W modest home,on a lovely lot with wonderfid views of a local lake.I am hardly nervous about any officials, <br /> ° local or otherwise,visiting the site and declaring my clients"anti-environmental",especially since they <br /> Y have cooperated fully with city officials in an effort to"mend the fences"so to speak.My clients do <br /> understand your concern about the situation,but kindly bear in mind that we believe the city has little,if <br /> any,jurisdiction over shoreline restoration issues. <br /> N <br /> Notwithstanding the foregoing,my clients do not our desire to become mired in a legal battle. If the city is <br /> willing to discuss an agreement that addresses ALL pending issues,my clients would be more than willing <br /> to consider payment of certain monies. Please notify we of the city's intentions on or before February 17, <br /> 2006. <br /> Sincel , aL% <br /> ` <br /> Qi R f <br /> v perspefi%vVerrell&f"<-" Lake <br /> Y cellular(6-` -,•,-396A <br /> fac-: .952)447"5637 <br /> M O <br /> D <br /> y �.IlStlile.cahllloatt.net <br />
