Lt <br />V, <br />SUPER UALU <br />January 4, 1991 <br />Ms. Jeanne Mabusth <br />CITY OF ORONO <br />Building and Zoning Administrator <br />Post Office Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay. MN 55323 <br />RETAllrSUPPOKT-----h:) <br />SUPER VALU STORES. INC. <br />VAILING ADDRESS <br />P.O. BOX 1451 • MINNEAPOUS. MN 56440 <br />Dear Ms. Mabusth. <br />During our planning commission meeting to expand Rick's Super Valu, the Issue <br />of vacation of Kelly Avenue has come up. I have researched this to a point, <br />with Rick, our landlord, and the adjacent property owner, and have concluded <br />that we do not want to be placed in the position of petitioning the city for <br />partial vacation of Kelly Avenue. <br />In discussing this with Dick Keaveny. he mentioned that in the 1975 time frame <br />when this was proposed, the homeowners became so Irate that several boycotted <br />his drug store because they thought he was spearheading the vacation. <br />Needless to say. no retailer wants anything to do with this sort of <br />controversy. <br />I have looked very closely at the "Avenue" and have trouble as to where the <br />cul-de-sac would be placed. Access continues to be needed to the back of the <br />Keaveny property, as business Is conducted In space on this lower level every <br />day. I have also noticed the school bus Is routed cn Kelly, and Indeed many <br />residents use this outlet onto County Road 15. I would also have concern for <br />timely police and fire protection to those residents off of Kelly Avenue. In <br />ray estimation, the feasablllty for vacation Is remote. <br />However. If there Is something I do not understand, or Information I do not <br />have which Impacts on this vacation. 1 am willing to support the city on this <br />Issue If they wish to vacate. I have discussed this with the land owner and <br />also with Rick, and both of them would be supportive of the city If the <br />vacation fits with your approved comprehensive city plan. <br />Would you please provide planning and council members with a copy of this <br />letter, so they understand our position on this matter as It relates to our <br />expansion proposal presently before the city. <br />Thank you for your Interest In this matter. <br />Sincerely. <br />Lyli V.
