Subject:6/15Public Hearing = Proposed Vacation ofPublic Way for Pedestrian Use Oren
Road North and Goose Lake
City ofScandia,
This email isinregards tothe public hearing on6/15/21regarding the “vacation ofapublic wayfor pedestrian use
between the street of Oren Road North and Goose Lake.”
We live at22798 Olgilive Ave. North and wewill not beable toattend the meeting on6/15due toaprior commitment.
We are opposed ofvacating our rights ofthis public way. We are unhappy with theway Mr. Swenson approached our
neighborhood, ashedid not consult allhomeowners onOlgilvie Avenue when hebrought his petition tothe
neighborhood. We had ahomeowners association meeting and itwas apparent from thediscussions thatnot all
information regarding Mr. Swenson’srequest tovacate thepublic waywas provided tohomeowners aswellas
differentiating conversations.
Allhomeowners have access toOutlot Band taking away this public way, would eliminate our access tothat lot. When
properties were purchased the access toOutlot Baswell asaccess toGoose Lake were part ofthat selling price. There is
nothing for usasahomeowner togain from giving upthis access, we onlylose, and once that access isgone we can
never get itback.
Please letusknow ifyou have any questions and thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Don and Brenda Melander
22798 Olgilvie Ave. N
