6200 177th Lane, N.W. <br />27 November 1979 <br /> <br />Lloyd Schnell, City Administrator <br />City of Ramsey Admin. Offices <br />15153 Nowthen Boulevard <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />Re: Robert Nugent's Pig Feedlot <br /> <br />Dear Lloyd: <br /> <br />This letter serves as my collection of complaints that cannot be <br />expressed in a formal petition. However, they do prohibit me from <br />enjoying the amenities of owning this property. <br /> <br />Spring, summer and fall; day and night, I listen to the <br />screech of pigs, lessers slamming and/or calves being <br />weaned. <br /> <br />2. I don't line-dry washed clothes anymore. They get <br /> covered with fly specks. <br /> <br />Next summer, my son will be one year old. I hesitate to <br />let him play in the backyard. I've seen rats running <br />toward his feedlot. <br /> <br />I feel a part of normal living is the opportunity to <br />entertain in one's backyard. We no longer do this-- <br />the stench and sound effects discourage this type of <br />socializing. Do you know the stench of pig urine will <br />literally bring tears to your eyes on a hot, muggy July <br />night? <br /> <br />The addition of his 7 foot corrugated steel fenc~ ad- <br />Joining this property line has almost totally destroyed <br />most of the a~stetic value of this house, <br /> <br />All of the residents on 177th Lane bought houses here when Nugent's <br />property was owned by people having-two horses and.'a cow. Obviously, <br />there was no objection to that type of animal-keeping. Nugent's moved <br />to their property after each of us were settled, and through his <br />lifestyle has caused regret of ever buying here. Conversations al- <br />ways come to the same bottom line of no one bought here to live in <br />this. <br /> <br />In my opinion, the present economy does not encourage the average home- <br />owner to sell and relocate. However, I will close with this request: <br />If you know anyone who would like to buy this house at fair market <br />value, please have them contact me. <br /> <br />cc: Bill Goodrich <br /> <br />Sincerely,' <br /> <br /> <br />
