V STRYKER AVENUE Saint Paul, Minnesnta suo� TELEPNONE FACS4MiLE (6517 [6517 291-1454 292-9220 My wife and I own a building at the intersection of Stryker and Annapolis. It sits at the North-east corner, on the St. Paul side of the line that divides West St. Paul and St. Paul proper. For most of its history the brick building was a neighborhood grocery, but for 17 years now it has been home to our letterpress printing and graphic design business. During the 17 years we have owned it, we have kept 200 lineal feet of sidewalk clear of snow and ice. We have picked up the trash that is always being left at the bus stop. We have cleaned graffiti off the post office box and alerted the newspaper publishers when their boxes have been abused. And we have been good neighbors. But because we are a business, we bear the brunt of the burden for the maintenance of the streets upon which we are located It so happens that both Stryker Avenue and Annapolis Street are Class 2 streets and because of that, as a business, we pay more than twice the amount that our residential neighbors pay for Right-of-Way Maintenance. And, we pay half aqain as much as our neighbors for the Right-of- Way Maintenance on our alley (even though we are the only building on the block that does not have a garage). LETTERPftE55 PRIWTING & EDITION BINDING ��x� 2-�Z NOM PRESS 09-1238 Our assessment for 2009 was just shy of 16 hundred dollars. This is more than a third of what we pay in property taxes for the building (4,600.00 $) and it is too much. We are a small, Mom-and-Pop business and the occasional visit by a client or delivery van is about the extent of the traffic we generate. On a busy day we may have 4 vehicles visit our building. Please lower our Right-of Way Maintenance Assessment for 2010 (and beyond) to a rate that reflects a more equitable distribution of the costs involved in running a city. My wife and I don't mind paying our share (or even a bit more), but we would rather not pay our share and someone else's share too. With our best reqards, Kent and Emily Aldrich � y �n���/ e.s.-- `/� � 4 ��r.f ��'���� 1 � � �/�[� �� v / r� ._ � v V
