P-C ^ ■ 1(0' <br />^^(pC d 04 ‘^€n <br />cioutenber I6, l <br />Plann!ni^ Commission: <br />This is in r sponso to the Highway 12 Corridor Planning ^it idy. <br />We are all in favor of the zi.nlng being left a.*» resiclonulal. It <br />was roalcientlal when we bought in this cominunlty, and our bollef <br />was tnat it would remain s such. I rememour a conversation with <br />cowoi’kers a while back. I was tolling tnain what a nice area urono <br />is, a rural typo setting, yet so close to town. fney s.'la I must <br />be dreaming if I thought it would remain that way for long, tnat <br />before long we would have business, Industry, apartments and low <br />Ine me hoising just like everyone else. I insisted that Orono was <br />a very unique area and that if that could l.e aopt out of any area <br />it would be Orcno. They said Edina ouuldn't or wouldn't *ceep it <br />out, so dcn*t believe that Orono will. I still hope I am right <br />about Orono. <br />I really don't see any need for rozoning. Is it to pass <br />along a share of the taxes to business? A high senool economics <br />student could tell you that business does not pay taxes but only <br />collects them. And if taxes are the reason, Is it fall' to tax <br />sonoone else for tno benefits we us urono residents receive? <br />If the area is rezuned, we will most likely te before the <br />board at some t'mo in the future, along with other residents of <br />the area, asking for rozoning of our property also. IVo will <br />hnve a rijfflcalt t'mo getting a fair price for our property if <br />it is across :he street from commercial, unless ne too are zoned <br />commercial. <br />Please res.em: or tnat most of us do not cure to sit through <br />meetings all year Ions to snow our disapproval. please accept <br />this us our notice of nisapurovul, and co nut tninz tnat after <br />you have ten or twenty meetings and tn© attonaance is a own that <br />thjt means people must iiuw lo in favor uf rodevel'. pmont. In simply <br />means they are si;k of the mjetings. <br />In reference to ttxe proposed rezoning for utton ..uoary, I feel <br />the same as for other cmrr.ercial as 1 have just statea. I do n.t <br />believe that tnls is apox-jprl a te in a resldoritiai area oitner. <br />If you will simply drive by vno present store you till notice <br />laiq e neon alf^ns, wt.lch are no t too cvntriwn in roslder t.'ai ureas. <br />Also as far nz a driveway on County Koko b is c ncernec. wny <br />would it be safe for lundscaplni. venicles and otlier such vrucks <br />to enter and exit when I was oroex-ed to close iny arlvowuy on <br />Cty Hd 6 that had Loen there in e.-.cess of loC years because of <br />safety.
