The careful <br />scrutiny with which you received the recommendation of the Planning Commission showed our <br />most skeptical friends that you remain open to public input and that the process is indeed an <br />open one as well. <br />While gratified that our desire for a 60 day delay was realized, we understand that you are <br />also seeking more data from the amendment applicant and desire sufficient information for all <br />possible outcomes. For our part, we perceive that you understand and encourage our efforts to <br />find an alternative use for Lakeview that could maintain its present guidance, respect the <br />property rights of the owner, and involve the most acceptable combination of public and <br />private support. We intend to take on this challenge with a collective zeal that continues <br />to grow and energize us. Based on your comments (and our interest) we will be reaching out to <br />you individually over the next 60 days to get your input and suggestions as we work for an <br />end state for Lakeview that fulfills the wishes of the vast majority of Orono's residents. <br />Thank you again for your dedication to this wonderful city. <br />Sincerely, <br />Bryce V. Johnson <br />Citizens for Lakeview Preservation <br />1 <br />
