MN 55356 <br />1' <br />Dear Council Members. <br />This letter is in response to the memo that I recei\ e«.l about a public hearing notice in refci ence to the <br />proposetl revision to the Orono Zoning Code Section 10.26. subdivision 3 regarding the LR-lC-1 One <br />Famil}’ Lakeshore Residential Subdistrict. 1 will not be able to attend !*;is public hearing on Feb. 16th. <br />Orono should reverse the dccrca.sc in dwelling unit density that it had previously passed. 1 live in the <br />Navarre area and mo.st all of the lots are betw een 50 to 100 feet in width. This area has a problem with <br />hard cover and drainage due to the amount of hO!nc.s. garages, driveways, decks and other staictures <br />on each propert)’. This is something that I would not want to happen in other areas around the lake. It's <br />much less e.\pen.sive for all invoh ed to prevent the situation before it happeas than aher the fact. <br /># • <br />I • <br />.Another factor in tJ.,s is having \ our neighbors too close to each other, ^'ou don't feel that you can <br />enterl.un companv :n the wann months outside with out up-setting your neighbors. The additional <br />noise from talking, children playing, and l.iek of additional parking for guests does aiuioy neighbors. <br />How many of these area have adeqinite space for well water and septic? Would additional hard cover <br />ertect the erosion of propeily and cause additional pollution of the lake? If people feel that they have <br />lost part of their inve ment because they can not sub-di\ ide in the future, they should huv e purchased <br />farm land away from the lake area years agv>. That's where the high density land developments hehvng. <br />not in the lake area. <br />With this being "The Lake Mimietonka .Area" it .sliould remain a .suburban .setting, tiot something <br />that’s turned into jui area like Ply tnouth. <br />I hope this has helped in y our decision to keep our community in the setting that thi.s area ha.s been <br />known for in the years gone by. " Large Open Spaces" for your lamily to grow up in. <br />Sincerelv. <br />Karen Cuff <br />3572 l.iv ingston .Avc <br />Orono. .\IN 55391 <br />471-9795
