July 25, 2020<br /> <br />Orono City Council<br /> <br />Orono, MN 55356<br /> <br />Dear Members of the Orono City Council:<br /> <br />Re: Proposal for Long Lake Rowing Crew proposal for boat house on Summit Beach<br /> <br />We are strongly opposed to the plan to allow the LLRC/Long Lake Rowing Crew to <br />build facilities on Summit Beach. I say “we,” because this view is shared by our entire <br />family—kids and grandkids who have enjoyed this special beach for years.<br /> <br />Allowing a privileged few to take over Summit Beach for such a singular purpose is <br />wrong.<br /> <br />Many, including us, love this beach because it is free of the activity level of Nelson <br />Lakeside Park. There you have boats, trailers, cars and trucks at the public landing. It <br />strikes me that this location might be a better choice for the LLRC.<br /> <br />We love the tranquility of Summit Beach. We love the small, quaint nature of this <br />hidden gem. Please don’t take this away from us. There are far too few places left in <br />the metro area for families to enjoy a lake.<br /> <br />Sincerely,<br /> <br />John Hovanec (& Family)<br /> <br />2670 Kelley Parkway<br /> <br />#108<br /> <br />Orono, MN 55356<br /> <br />CC: Anna Carlson<br /> <br /> Dustin Rief
