SEP 20 '99 14:21 M NELSON P.2 <br />September 20,1999 <br />Mr. Paul Weinberger <br />Head of Zoning <br />Orono City Hall <br />Dear Mi'. Weinberger: <br />It has come to our attention that a hearing is to be held tonight to discuss a variance proposal that <br />would allow 49 units to be built on */i to I acre lots, on County Road 6 and Willow Drive. <br />Unfortunately, we are unable to attend tliis hearing and arc writing to e.xpress our strong <br />objections to this proposal <br />We purchased our property on Jamestown Road in 1992 because of the size and reputation of the <br />Orono Schools, and the rural setting. The Orono Schools have already experienced an increase in <br />size due to open enrollment and do not need to grow beyond the figures of the 2 acre lot <br />minimum. Orono residents pay high taxes to attend small schools and live in a community free of <br />congestion. Another concern is the traffic that already e.xisis on County Road 6. We can’t <br />believe this development would help the traffic situation. <br />We appreciate the opportunity to voice our objections and believe the Orono City Planning <br />Commission and Orono City Council Members have an obligation to their existing residents and <br />need to stand firm on the 2 acre lot minimum. <br />Sincerely, <br />Karen Nclwn <br />Morgan Nelson Sr.
