S, 1999 <br />City of Orono <br />2750 Kelly Parkway <br />Orono, MN 55356 <br />• • <br />Dear Council Members, <br />This is in response to the memo that I received about a public hearing notice in reference to the <br />propped revision to tlie Orono Zoning Code Section 10.26, subdivision 3 regarding the LR-lC-1 One <br />Famil)- Lakeshore Residential Subdistrict. I will not be able to attend this public hearing on Feb. 16tli. <br />^no should reverse the decrease in dwelling unit density tliat it had previously passed. I Ii\e in tlic <br />Navarre area and most all of the lots are between 50 to 100 feet in widtk This area has a problem with <br />1 er and drainage due to the amount of homes, garages, dri vewa>”s, decks and other structures <br />on each property. This is something that I would not want to happen in other areas around the lake. It’s <br />much less e.vpensive for all involved to prevent the situation before it happens than after the fact. <br />9 • <br />Another fabtor in tliis is having your neiglibors too close to each other. You don't feel tliat you can <br />entert^n company in the wann montlw outside with out up-setting your neiglibors. Tlie additional <br />noise from talking, children playing, and lack of additional parking for guests does annoy neighbors. <br />Ifow many of these area have adequate space for well water and septic? Would additional hard cover <br />etfect the erosion of property and cause additional pollution of the lake? If people fee* t’at they have <br />1^ part of their investment because they can not sub-divide in the future, they should liave purchased <br />tann land away from the lake area > ears ago. That's where the high den.sitv land developments belong, <br />not in the lake area. <br />\\ ith this being Tlie Lake Minnetonka .Area" it should remain a suburban setting, not something <br />that s turned into an area like Pl>inouth. <br />I hope this has helped in your decision to keep our communitv in the setting that this area has been <br />known for in the years gone by, " Large Open Spaces" for > oiir family to grow up in. <br />Sincerelv. <br />on and <br />Karen Cuft' <br />3572 Livingstoii .Ave <br />Orono.
