However, we believe changing the "Park, Recreation and Open Space" guidance breaks <br />the promise of the 2008-2030 Orono Community Management Plan, which clearly states (Part 4E-30), "The City will <br />encourage the preservation of private open space" and "Once land is developed, the opportunity for its preservation <br />as open space is lost' <br />We, Citizens for Lakeview Preservation, Inc., a MN non-profit, ask your help to: <br />PRESERVE the land and maintain it as "Park, Recreation and Open Space." <br />PROTECT the integrity of the 2008-2030 Orono Community Management Plan, a contract with the people of <br />Orono who themselves have invested to live here. <br />RESPECT the property rights of the landowner by providing an alternative use and compensation for his property. <br />We offer a much better alternative to development that fits the current guidance of the land. Our vision includes a <br />natural habitat and interpretive center as well as an eco -friendly golf course certified by the Audubon Society and <br />supported by the First Tee organization. Cultural and educational opportunities are interwoven. Other organizations <br />with whom we have spoken to stand ready to help. You can be a part of this — help us keep the land and shape the <br />vision. Because once it is gone, it's gone forever? <br />What can y®u d®? <br />FIRST — Sign this petition of support and. fax (952-472-4698), scan and email to <br />info@_oronolakeviewpreservation.org or mail immediately, no later.than January 3, to Citizens for Lakeview <br />Preservation, P.O. Box 96, Navarre, MN 55392. Please use the enclosed return envelope. CONTINUED ON BACK , <br />CUT ON DOTTED LINE <br />As a citizen, I request that the City of Orono uphold its Community Management Plan and <br />keep the current guidance of Lakeview as "Park, Recreation and Open Space." <br />Pd rather he Lee C.
