7.a Public Comments 3-6_Conley VarianceBrenda good morning.
The purpose of this email is to provide support for the proposed home construction on the Conley
property.
The Conley family has demonstrated a passion and respect for the St Croix River and watershed. We
believe they will adhere to all relevant building rules for this proposed project and continue to be a
strong steward for the river.
Thank very much,
Tom and Laura Swain
Hello Brenda. I am a neighbor of the Conleys two doors north. I am writing in support of their project to
renovate their cabin on the river. It is necessary given the current state of their cabin (no foundation)
and their changes are thoughtful and good for the community.
If you need to reach me, I am at 651-248-3707.

To the Planning Commissioners and Council Members:
As the adjoining property owner and neighbor on the north side of the Conley parcels, I have no
objection to their proposed reconstruction project. Approval will increase their use and enjoyment of
the property with little or no environmental, visual or neighborhood impacts. I thank you for your
vigilance and concerns and recommend approval.

Dear Brenda,
As a neighbor along 197th I'm writing in support of the Conley addition to their cabin. They are good
stewards of the river and its habitat--getting guidance about their wetlands from the wetlands district
and watershed district. And they have support from the National Park Service. Furthermore, in
conversations with Angie I know they are working to get rid of the invasive buckthorn, which further
attests to them caring about the river habitat and wanting to keep it healthy for our native flora and
fauna. Their remodel/addition plans have the support of the Planning Commission and they have
worked through all the proper channels to get the guidance they need for a more-usable and weather-
sound cabin.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Best wishes,
Nancy Staub
