Ramse¥, MN~ 55303 RECEIVED JAN 12 192 , ..... Dear Ms. Frolic: I am hereby requesting an amendment to my agreement with the City of Ra~sey regarding the blacktop of my lot located at 7103 Hwy. ~0 N.W.Ramsey, MN. The night that I signed the agreement, Dick Swensen, my realator and Mr. an~ Mrs. Lucian Klersey (the previous owners of the proa perty) wer~ not present on my behalf at the meeting because of a mix-up in ~ates. Because of lack of representation, I feel that tne city dkd not listen to my views and that I was forced into a contract. IMY lease at 7129 Hwy. 10 N.W. Was cancelled and it was necessary ~or me to move immediately. At the tim~ that I was purchasing the property at 7103 Hwy.10 N.W. it was imp~ssible to envision that there would be a major problem with the d~ainage of water from the roof which slopes toward all of my fron[ doors. This drainage of water, snow and ice causes a hazard t~ my customers and employees and is a detriment to my business. ~ Last winter ~ had a two foot ice build up in front of my doors add during the rest'~of the year it is water that inter- feres with~business. ! believe that it was inappropriate for the City of Ramsey to de- mand such ~ big out-lay of cash to black top the lot, before allow- ing me to ~rv the building and property for my particular needs. Had I know~ ~f these problems and the amount of money needed to make the bhilding workable, I would have rejected the agreement. I am planning to add a 25' o~er-hang ~to the front of the building with cemen~ base and 4-pillar posts .to eliminate my roof problem. Had I pave~ in front of the building, I .would have to tear it up. The front ~rea of the building is one of the most important areas of my busiRess. This area is where we do 95% of our general prep., washing, d~monstrating, exhibiting and selling. With 50% of the inside spa~e in the building used as an indoor showroom and the balance used for repairs and offices, it is necessary to have the front exterior in the best possible working condition.
