June 13, 20029:15 AM To: lIarson@ciJarmington.mn.us Subject: Water use citation Importance: High Hi Lena.. . As we discussed this morning on the phone, I'm writing this email.to contest in writing. why I shouldn't have to pay the $25 fine. Yesterday afternoon. we bought a couple Lilac bushes for the front yard, and Immediately planted them. Shortly after. I turn the sprinkler on. to make sure they got enough water. Shortly after. I noticed the citation attached to my front door. Here are the main reasons for my contest: 1) The new bushes need to be water immediately. otherwise to will die 2) I didn't need to water the lawn, since the excess rain had been doing a good job at it 3) I didn't realize there is water restriction since: I) We been having a lot of rain, to the point that my back yard was flooded last week ( ask Eng Matt S. about it) II) Summer has not officially started yet (June 22nd) III) Even if there were water restriction, I was on an even day (6/12). Didn't realize the portion that no water in the afternoon For all the above reasons and more, I wish the water board to be kind enough, and remove the citation Address: 18844 Easton Ave Sincerely yours, Sam Hanna . 1 Administrative Citation Water Use Restrictions .

Fwnlln~onVVmerBoard 325 Oak Street Farmin~on, MN 55024 June 12, 2002 Dear Fwnlln~on Water Board Members: . 1 am writing this letter on behalf of the Sherbourne Deckhomes Association wishing to contest the citation that was assessed to the association. The citation was issued on May 30, 2002, to the deckhomes on English Ave for $50.00 for two complexes watering between the hours of noon & 6:00 P.M. (I have included a copy of the citation). The grounds in which we are contesting the fme are that we were not aware of the updated policy for the City of Farmington, the association was running the sprinklers during the day time to help establish new seed that had been planted, and we were un-aware we needed a j>ennit. VVe would like to have this fine waived. VVe now know what the new restrictions are for watering and we have re-set the sprinkler boxes so they do not run during the day time. We also would like the Farmington Water Board to issue a variance in regards to the odd/even watering days for the Sherbourne Deckhomes Association. The sprinkler system was installed in 1995-1996 and the sprinkler zones were set-up to run both on even & odd numbered units (I have included a colored copy of the sprinkler system lay- out). VVe could change the sprinkler system lay-out, but it would cost thousands of dollars and would require damage to most of the lawns at Sherbourne Deckhomes Association. VV e hope the water board can grant a lifetime variance for Sherbourne Deckhomes Association. We are willing to listen to any ideas you may have in regards to the amount of days that we can water during the week. Thank you for your time to listen to our request.
