Splinter, City Manager FROM: Sy Knapp, Director of Public Works DATE: July 22, 1983 RE: Tennis Court Construction at Lions Park At your request, the following status report on the completion of the Lions Park tennis court is offered. The staff met with Tennis West Ltd., the general contractor, on July 15th regarding the condition of the subgrade material provided. It was agreed that two small "soft spots" were observed on the court area, said locations containing from 0 to 2 inches of aggregate base over the granular fill material (4 inches of aggregate were required by our specifications). Since two contractors have worked on the court improvement project (one for soil correction and aggregate base placement and the subcontractor for the present contractor) it could not be determined how the problem developed at the two locations. In order to reach an equitable solution to the problem, the staff has offered to pay the contractor for import and placement of up to 235 tons of aggregate base (at $8.50 per ton) over the site to insure that at least 4 inches of material will be present. The Contractor accepted the offer on July 18th and is scheduled to resume operations on July 25th. Respectfully submitted, SK: jn PETITION The undersigned neighbors of the proposed development at 5839 Major Avenue North hereby respectfully object to the request of Hilltop Builders, Inc. for variances from Brooklyn Center setback ordinances for construction of an 11 -unit apartment building. We feel that granting of such variances to allow the building to be located only 34 feet from County Road 10 (Bass Lake Road) instead of 60 feet as required by ordinance, and only /O feet from the rear property line, instead of 40 feet as required by ordinance, would be detrimental to the public welfare and to our neighborhood because: (1) It is likely that children will occupy some or all of the eleven two - bedroom units. There is no area for children to play on the site, and they will seek out open areas on our neighboring properties and surrounding streets and driveways in which to play. This would constitute a safety hazard as well as disturbing our use and enjoyment of our properties. (2) We are concerned for the safety of the occupants of the proposed building and of occupants of Twin Lake North Apartments, because the eight -foot rear setback would provide both an opportunity for fire to spread between adjoining structures, and insufficient space in which to combat a fire at the rear of the proposed building. (3) The proposed building and paved parking areas would occupy almost the entire site, contrary to our neighboring properties which utilize large areas of trees and open green spaces. The proposed develop- ment would therefore not be in keeping with the character of the rest of the neighborhood and would have a detrimental effect on our property values. We respectfully submit these objections and ask that the Brooklyn Center City Council take whatever action they feel is appropriate to address our concerns. NAME ADDRESS �' ' : L.
