GRAY 14812 58TH STREET NORTH #3D OAK PARK HEIGHTS MN 55082-6396 l'hL: 651-430-0822 Thursday, August 06, 1998 Mr. Jim Butler Building Official City of Oak Park Heights 14168 N. 57th Street Oak Park Heights MN 55082 Dear Jim: The Association wants to thank you for your help thus far in resolving some of the problems between the Association, the City of Oak Park Heights, and Jack Krongard. Item 3 in your letter to Jack Krongard dated July 30, 1998 pertains to our Association. A. Ra-Mar Plumbing truck— it has been removed and therefore resolved. B. Weeds. Some of the weeds have been cut down but we feel the job is not complete and more work is required before we would consider it resolved. This should be an ongoing project. Weeds grow fast. C. Dead tree. The dead tree is still at the NE corner of the vacant lot. D. Spillway on the West property line adjacent to the church parking lot. Please inform us what is happening with this issue. Item 5 Grass must be cut at the vacant lot situated on the corner of 58th Street N. and Osgood Ave. N. This has been partially done but we in no way consider it satisfactory. This should be cut on a regular basis. One issue we would like addressed is the retaining wall on the West side adjacent to the church parking lot. We would like to see a site plan showing landscaping design. Linda Carufel, one of our owners, has been in contact with Melanie Mesko regarding the landscaping design plans and we are waiting to hear from her. As you know the Association spent a good deal of money to extend the retaining wall up the bank on the North side of the spillway to prevent further erosion of the soil and rock. In order to recoup our costs from Krongard Construction Co. in a civil suit we need to have detailed plans of what was approved by the City. We trust you, and the City of Oak Park Heights, will stand firm on your position stated in your letter of July 30, 1998 to Jack Krongard and not issue permits of any kind or do inspections requested for the 8-unit complex presently under construction until a117 items and subcategories are handled to the satisfaction of all parties concerned. Sincerely, James R. Meyer, President Valley View Condominiums North Association Donna S. Gray, Treasurer Valley View Condominiums North Association Cc: Mayor and Council Tom Melena, City Administrator Jay Johnson, Public Works Director Scott Richards, City Planner Joe Anderlik, City Engineer Mark Vierling, City Attorney Melanie Mesko Linda Carufel
