EXHIBIT G <br />V- <br />W. DUNCAN Mac Millan <br />1SB «AST LAK« aTRBBT <br />WAVZATA, MINNESOTA SB391 <br />May 9,2005 <br />City of Orono <br />P.O. Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN SS323 <br />Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, <br />My wife, Nivin, and I are residents at 1820 Fox Street in Orono. Our <br />property is adjacent to my family’s property (1700 Fox Street) where I <br />liv^ since the early *30s. We recently received notification of the <br />proposed plat submitted by Suad H. Azhui 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 attrition <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. Sevei^ years <br />ago, we agreed that our driveway was dangerous so we mpved it east <br />to the top of the hill for safety. <br />In connection with the Azhari plat, we strongly urge that the driveway <br />for the development be placed as fin 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 />hrom 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 /v <br />helpful. 4 <br />Sincerely, <br />Duncan MacMillan <br />WDM/tnm <br />may <br />cry op <br />^^0/Vo
