From:Jon Miller <br />To:Anna Carlson; Dustin Rief <br />Subject:City of Orono Park Development <br />Date:Monday, July 27, 2020 2:55:02 PM <br />Hi, <br />Im aware there is a meeting about the proposal to turn a park or allow a business to develop a donated <br />park? Is this true? How much money is the city is getting money for such a proposal, and does the city <br />need the money? I could understand if the city needed the money but it seems that Orono is very healthy <br />so i dont understand why there is entertainment of an idea like this. I do think the last mayor was too strict <br />and she lost the election but now the current trend has been to the other extreme. Isnt there a practical <br />place that we can reside in when it comes to these matters? Or maybe the city could be more open about <br />the numbers because at face value the proposal get a negative response. <br />I know by my home there was what we thought was a wetland, in fact a few years ago it was all under <br />water! Now they brought in some extra fill and its developed for two large homes! Im really not an <br />extremist and dont say that development is bad or anything like that but it seem that the city is getting off <br />course to the other extreme. <br />I know that people in the community talk and for opinions, but maybe they dont have all the background <br />info of the justification of this proposal so If you can share more details that would be great. <br />Regards, <br />Jon Miller <br />2980 Casco Pt Rd <br />C: 218-689-2496
