Peter and Melissa Santrach <br />1700 Bohns Point Road <br />Orono, MN 55391 <br /> <br />February 21, 2022 <br /> <br />Planning Commission <br />City of Orono <br />2750 Kelley Parkway <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br />RE: LA21-000076 <br />We are writing in strong support of the variance requests by Yardscapes for the property at 1720 Bohns <br />Point Road, which is adjacent to our home. <br />The retaining wall in question was likely constructed when the first home was built on the property in <br />the 1950s. This concrete block wall is visibly failing. Not only is the wall tremendously unsightly, but it is <br />a potential safety hazard, especially during periods of heavy rain. <br />Yardscapes’ proposal to reconstruct this wall will provide the necessary reinforcement, will greatly <br />improve the appearance of their property from the lake, and will provide an attractive aesthetic that is <br />consistent with the quality of the home on the property. <br />We urge the Planning Commission to approve all variance requests pertaining to the reconstruction of <br />this retaining wall. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Peter and Melissa Santrach <br />
