From:Carolyn <br />To:Anna Carlson <br />Subject:Summit Beach <br />Date:Monday, July 27, 2020 8:03:05 AM <br />I was made aware late last night about the proposed rowing club 6000 sq ft bldg on The current Summit Beach <br />property. <br />We are Plymouth residents that have used the beach continuously since moving to the area 6 years ago. We go to <br />Summit beach 5-6 days per week all summer long. There are always lots of families there enjoying the beach and <br />swimming as well as other lake activities including paddle boarding & kayaking. My kids also enjoy hammocking <br />and picnicking there. It is a great beach and it would be heartbreaking if you were to allow a business to come in and <br />take away the community. We have noticed an increase in the number of people that enjoy that beach within the last <br />2 years. The people that frequent the beach genuinely enjoy it as we do and pick up what they bring and are always <br />respectful of others. There are not other beaches around that are as clean and beautiful as Summit. <br />It would be so very disappointing if the city of Orono were to allow a business to come in and take away this <br />beautiful park that was intended for public enjoyment. They have a current facility and there is other land around the <br />lake that they could purchase without taking away from the public. We can’t keep allowing businesses with money <br />to scoop up donated land for public enjoyment. Please do not allow this to happen to Orono. This would <br />detrimentally affect so many families that enjoy this park so much especially with so many negatives happening in <br />our state this year. Please save Summit Beach!!!! <br />Thank you in advance for your consideration. I will plan to attend the attend the meeting tonight also. <br />Carolyn & Mike Haeger <br />1410 Yellowstone Lane in Plymouth <br />Sent from my iPhone
