AUSTIN H. EVANS <br />2497 KELLY AVENUE <br />EXCELSIOR, MN SS331 <br />Td: 952 - 471 1170 Fai: 952 - 4711184 <br />RECEIVED <br />MAR I 0 2004 <br />cmroFonoNo <br />March 18.2004 <br />City of Orono <br />2750 Kelley Parkway <br />P.O.Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br />Attention: Mayor Barbara Peterson and City Council Members <br />Re: Application for an On Sale Liquor License at 3425 Shoreline Drive, Navarre. <br />I would bring to your attention that the granting of an On Sale Liquor License for the <br />above property would be: <br />\ Detrimental to the public health. <br />2.

In the summer months <br />I am constantly A;vakened by the roar of motor cycles leaving the Narrows. I shudder to <br />think what it will be like within 55 feet of my house. This increased traffic in the early <br />hours of the morning will mean that it will be impossible to sleep with my windows open. <br />2. PUBLIC SAFETY <br />Public safety will be affected in a big way. Cars traveling south from the establishment <br />will use the quiet residential street of KeUy Avenue. The extra traffic generated by this <br />use will compound the already very dangerous exiting on to County Road 15. In addition <br />patrons wiU be tempted to find a parking space on the lower level which if full will force <br />mtd
