���f�l\/EG�t <br /> MAR � 0 2006 Morris & lackie Nelson <br /> 1900 Shoreline Drive <br /> CITY OF ORO�10 Wayzata, Minnesota 55391 <br /> March 10, 2006 <br /> City of Orono City Council <br /> 2750 Kelly Parkway, PO Box 66 <br /> Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 <br /> Re: Broitzman, 1800 Shoreline Drive <br /> Members of the Council: <br /> We are requesting that the Council deny approval of the plan being proposed for this <br /> property. If approved, this project will cause undue hardship and have negative impact <br /> on our property. <br /> The proposed structure remains exceedingly large. Granted, it is smaller than before, but <br /> at nearly 12,000 square feet of living space and 2920 square feet of garage, it is over 3 <br /> times as large as ours and the other houses in the neighborhood. <br /> Garage space of 1920 attached plus an additional 1000 detached. Previous plan included <br /> a garage of 80 feet in length. Now it is 64 feet in length plus another 38 to 42 feet � <br /> making it over 96 feet in length. <br /> There is no landscape plan in the proposal as suggested by the Commission. If it isn't in <br /> the plan, it's rather doubtful that it will happen at all. <br /> Fox News calls them McMansions: oversized and completely out of character with the <br /> neighborhood. (February 27, 2006). They are having negative impact on neighborhoods <br /> around the nation. This project is a McMansion. <br /> At the last Planning Commission meeting, Broitzman stated that since he paid a million <br /> dollars for the property, he should be able to do as he pleases with it; a very selfish <br /> attitude with little regard to the impact of others. <br /> We do welcome improvements to the neighborhood. We urge you to deny approval. <br /> Sincerelv, <br /> ; rl <br /> , ��"� <br /> _, <br />
