Respectfully submitted, Theresa Hogan ~~) \ '- ) ~.J (j () .: June 15, 1989 Dear Park Commissioners Because of a conflict of interest I could not be there in person tonight to make my request, however, I hope you will be able to accept this letter for consideration regarding tonight's agenda. en or about 11/2/88, we paid $1150.00 park dedication fee request by the Park Board and City. It was my understanding that tids fee would be used for a cement sidwalk which would run along Bunker Lake Road fronting Bent Creek Estates from the Bittersweet Street Intersection to Hidden Creek Park. This spring we have sent considerable dollars on Monuments, Burns, and Landscaping to be completed next week. We did this so as to give Bent Creek Estates Maximum street Appeal. Because of project cost over-runs, due to soil correction we will need to get top prices for these eight lots. Therefore we respectfully request that the sidewalk running from Bittersweet to Hidden Creek Park be put in this year as to finish the fronting boulevard along Bunker Lake Road. If the Park Board agrees, we would be happy to install the sidewalk according to your specifications if the park fees could be refundable at a later date. ~) ~~) "\ 'J o"J' ., ...... -~ '- ..... -c :" ,~ .~ '", ), .+- ::r- -I-' o .le ( , \,-J ~ . , " ,-) rL ~t ~~2 ~ ~l ,.
