Stop 40 -Unit Apartment/Condo Building on Freshwater Institute Property <br />About this petition <br />A developer proposes building a multi -tenant condominium/apartment building adjacent to the <br />Freshwater Institute in Navarre (2520 Shadywood Road) (the "Project"). The Project involves 40 <br />units, is 4 stories high (5 stories -58' 8"—on the wetland side), with includes 84 to 100 parking spots. <br />The Project would require rezoning the property and other variances from the City of Orono and other <br />governmental agencies. <br />Citizens of Orono and cities neighboring Navarre oppose this Project due to, among other things, the <br />high density, height, increased traffic and congestion, increased noise, increased light, negative <br />impact on animal habitats and wetlands, negative impact on adjoining neighborhoods and the <br />precedent this Project would set for Navarre and the City of Orono. <br />We, the undersigned concerned citizens of the Navarre area, urge Orono, MN leaders to deny the <br />rezoning and boundary line adjustment of, and variances and any other special accommodations for, <br />the Project due to the adverse impact the Project will have on the purpose and value of Orono's <br />zoning regulations and the health and welfare of the citizens of Orono and its neighbors. <br />Page 2 of 18 <br />
