Dear Mr. Renne,
I am unable to attend the hearing on proposed improvements
to the north -south alley between 16th and 17th Ave. N. on
Tuesday, June 5th so I am writing this letter to express
my position.
I am firmly opposed to the proposed improvement. I have
owned the property at 336 - 338 16th Ave. N. for 4j - years and
feel that a concrete alley would not benefit owners or
tenants. Other than traffic to the garage located at
330 -332 16th Ave. N., the only alley traffic occurs once a
week with the garbage pickup. This proposal would significantly
add to an already high real estate tax base and I am against
it.
Please register my "no" vote. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Gary Musgjerd
May 25, 1984
