I have lived in this area for nearly 50 years, and am most concerned about <br />the impact it will have on a quiet residential area. <br />1. I find it astounding that the City of Orono would enable a private club, to <br />essentially take over a beach that was a gift to all Orono residents. <br />2. Bruce Dayton was a lover of nature and has donated other properties in the area <br />with the idea of preservation. A building of that size on a small piece of property, <br />to my mind wasn’t his intent. <br />3. This is a quiet residential area, why would you consider choosing a private club <br />over your residents that pay taxes? <br />4. Have you thought about the impact of such a large building on such a small piece <br />of shoreline? Will the people of Orono be able to use the private building located <br />on “their beach”? Who will pay for the upkeep? <br />5. A great concern for me is the access from US 12. The exit from US 12 to Old <br />Long Lake Road is on a curve, that is already dangerous. As you know there are <br />two left lanes that merge on the curve, and to add more traffic and danger to that <br />area is a safety issue. <br /> I would ask you to think about the major effect this proposal will have on the <br />residents of the area, for those travel US 12, and especially about the spirit of the <br />gift of Summit Beach to all people of Orono. Are you in good conscience willing to <br />change the essence of this area for the enjoyment of a few? Please don’t dishonor <br />Bruce Dayton. <br />Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns. I am hopeful that you will make <br />a honorable decision. <br />Marsha Reiman
