Gentlemen :
„,..
We re�resen•t Donald L. 'Bruns and Eugene W. Dahl in
opposition to the above application for rezone:
The Bruns' and Dahl properties abut- the proposed
three lot subdivision .immed.iately to. the east and,have a sweeping.,
??
:sound view to the'westward'over this property.
`
The granting of this :platand variance "would' be greatly
injurious to the adjacent 'proper_•ty'under, item 5' of Standards and
k
Criteria. An. obstruction of•view'by the placing of two story:.:,:
houses on the above subdivision would depreciate -the value of
both the Bruns and the Dahl house in the sum of $50,000.00 each.
x`
In addition,.there is a spring located in thr__ vicinity •which
continually feeds' down into a 'ditch on the east border of the, above' ,
° - prop ert and the affect -of this see a e on the, otential building

sites has not yet- been explored by the building department and',a
determination'`should be made by the planning and/or-bui.lding°,department
°
before the subdivision is granted as to whether•these are buildable
lgts. ,
In addition there Will be Substantial comet' unity impact
created by this subdivision as follows:
1 ti.
first, the present utilization -of the lots is for
extensive clard•ening, shrubbery, fences and trees. -The present
owner, and his wife spend- a great deal of time in gardening this
' tract*. If the vAriancc, is' granted the: existing house will wind
up immediately adjacent -'to a right-of-way with a smaller lot
