Fdvuary 14,2002 F'l <br />The Planning Conunisskm <br />CiiyofOraoo <br />2750 Kdl^ Parkway <br />For February 19* Meeting <br />Hoarding Application W)2-27S5, Located at 340 MIlow Drive (site of new Long Lake <br />Fire Station) <br />1. A vaiiance for the SO foot road setback. <br />2. Conditional Use Pennit fer hose tower, greater than 30 feet in height <br />We would expect the new fire station to look at least as good as the Orono Munidpai Building or the <br />Long Lake Sewer Station. The proposed station does not and will only look worse with a tower. (\»sibly <br />with a nice looking nx^ I would have no objection to something some what higher. Right now it will <br />look like a gun tower and guard station. <br />There has been plenty of time to make decisions to allow for the SO fixM minimum set back. F.iihcr leave <br />the set back, move the building or don't take the alternate for the sixth bay. The more garage doors you <br />have the more commercial it looks. The building is a proposed 29 fixt and already too high without the <br />tower. <br />The least uc could expect after gening a very average looking commercial building in a RESIDENTIAL <br />ndghborfaood. that it st^ within reasonable residential regulations. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ron Miller <br />270 N, Willow Drive <br />(952)473-1265 <br />Enclosed are pictures of ordinary commercial fire stations and some NICE looking neighborhood fire <br />stations. <br />Also enclosed is a previous lener and pictures soit to the Orono Council.
