taul & Karen Hanser i IIOOConconnaSiMt Wiyzata.WN SU*1 M«ch3.2 To the member* of the Orono Hanning Commiaaion and City Counci, We era wffWng to you in aupport of Jeff and Nancy TwMMefl'a planned buHcfng project for their property atlSSSConoordtaSbeet We underaiand that they are requesting a variance to increaae hardcover above the 25% Imit A* naighbora, we agree and believe that thia hardcover ia needed to provide some extra dilveMey to protect the three lar^ Maple treee In the mktde of their property. Since their lot in not heaviy wooded, loaa of theae trees vroukt aigniflcanlly impact the beaufy of their property as wMI as that of the neighborhood. We beiave that any dedaion between a eight variance in hardcover and the destnjction of decades old heaNhy treee should go in tavor of preserving the treee We understand that the home can be bdR on the lot and mainiain tfw 25% hardcover but it wi need to be the minimum 30 feet ftom the rood and dealroy the trees in question. Bidding that doae to the street is certainty out of character vdh the aurrouridhigpropertiea. Also, this wi take their home out of aiignmerl ^ their lakeahore neighbors to the north and south. In oonduaion, we strongly support their varianoeapplicaliaa Their plan makes sense to us and we respecthiy requot that it be approved. Sincerely, ■4,/' f Paul and Karan Hansen
