EXHIBIT G <br />W. DUNCAN Mac Millan <br />IBS CAST LAKE STRCCT <br />WAVZATA. MINNESOTA 5S391 <br />May 9,2005 <br />City of Orono <br />P.O. Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br />Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, <br />My wife, Nivin, and I are residents at 1 820 Fox Street in Orono. Our <br />property is adjacent to my family’s property (1700 Fox Street) ^^ere I <br />liv^ since the early ‘30s. We recently received notification of the <br />proposed plat submitted by Suad H. Azhai for the development of <br />property across the street at 1745 Fox Street and adjoining parcels. <br />As part of the platting process, we would like to bring to your attention <br />safety concerns related to the traffic on Fox Street. Given the <br />congestion on County Highway 15 along the shore of Lake <br />Minnetonka, Fox Street is often used as a "back road” for people <br />trying to avoid 15. As such, more than local traffic is involved and, <br />often, high speeds are encountered. <br />If the driveway were placed as outlined, it would be a very dangerous <br />location, as the westbound traffic sometimes travels at high speeds and <br />visibility is dramatically reduced coming over the hill. Several years <br />ago, we agreed that our driveway was dangerous so we mpved it east <br />to the top of the liill for safety. <br />In connection with the Azhari plat, we strongly urge that the driveway <br />for the development be placed as far west as possible. Doing so would <br />increase the site lines for cars traveling west on Fox Street. The <br />driveway to the Waldron and Massopust houses works reasonably well <br />from a safety standpoint. The new development’s driveway should be <br />at least as far west as that one. <br />I will be glad to give you further information about Fox Street, if <br />helpful. <br />Sincerely, <br />.
