Tha:nl� you for tne information v�itli re�ards to tlie assessment for grading and sur�:'acin� the alley in .L31ock 47, St. �nthony Park T�orth. The inforrnation which I requested as to vahether or not a more equitable mea.ns of assessing t�:�e property remains unanswered. I wo .,1d ap;;reciate further inforrnation. In August of 1970, I protested the method of' assessing because t�ie �etition to g-rade a.nd surface the alley came i'rom t�.ree residents of the condominium on Cleveland Avenue. As I understand the situa,tion, the members of the condominium �rill be assessed at around �50 per unit on a foc�ta�e basis. This seems gro s sly unf'�.ir t o tYie re st of tile pe o T�le . My share of trie cost on a foot..�;e �,asis will be somev��ier.e in tl�e ar.°ea of � 395. Ti;is in s ,,ite of the fact t��at I have one �arage on t'riat �lley and the condominium has 16 �ara�es there. Zue to the revised building �r.,lan, a ��-ro�ulern of run—o�'f v�as created. F�ollowing heavy rains, the ��ater i'rorn the condominium and its gara�es ��atihed out t��e alley axi.d deposited much of the sand and gr�.vel at the �o �t of t�ie hill. Tnere is als > tY�e problem of' valuation. I��1ost of the units in the condominiwn were sold at two or more times the valua�ion of my pr.o-perty. Since tize cit;� o� St. Paul �v�.;; so ea�er. t�� have t'rle condominium built that t��ey relaxcd the lot requirements to �et the builu in� in, T would hoY�e tn.at the city would be as consider� of tiie rest of tlie re�=idents and bill us according t� u�,�a�e and valuation as caell as on a ..��:�,�ta�e basis. That alley has been in use i'or over sixty years and no one has a�,:�red f'or s .sfacing of trze alley up to t_�is time. I i�ei:sonally have lived t�ie�:e i'or t'tie �o:..st eleven years and have loLtnd it adequate. It is unfair to ask ot��er homea��vners to pay s�ach �,n.d exhorbitant price to surface tr�e alley becau:�e of t��e ��roc�l�-ms of tre c:�ndorninium.
