c <br />r <br />Januai>* 29, 1999 <br />Mr. Mike GafTron <br />Cit>'ofOrono <br />2750 Kelle>' Parkway <br />Orono.MN 55356 <br />Dear Mr. GafTron, <br />«'f; <br />I.' <br />As you know, the possibility of our relocating the |»oposed SERVICE 800 building to the east side of the <br />Rebers property was raised again during the Orono City Council meeting on January 25. <br />Since the last Council meeting, our project team has again rmisited the placement of the building We <br />continue to beliexe that placement on the west side of the property is the best use for the following <br />reasons. <br />Aesthetics <br />1. Placement along the west pre^rty line will provide a visual separation between the new building and <br />the e.risiting Wear properly. When the Wear property is rede\eloped in the future, ha\ing the SERVICE <br />800 building on the west property line will allow Orono and that de^xloper the greatest planning <br />fle.\ibility. <br />2. The mature trees along the west and north sides of the property create a natural building site where the <br />new builing can look out onto trees rather than parking lots. <br />Preservation of e.\isiting growth and ma.ximizing green space <br />1. Placing the building on the east property line with parking WTapped on the south, west and north, and <br />immediatly ne.\t to Wear parking would create an effect of **building as an island in a parking lot? Little <br />green space effect would remain. <br />2. Placing the building along the west line will result in complete preseiration of the e.xisiting wtxxled <br />areas along the west and north sides of the property. <br />3. Placing the building along the east line and accommodating a driveway midway up the west property <br />line would require stripping out a 40-60 feet swath of the mature trees. <br />B B <br />Creative Resources to Monitor <br />Customer Satisfaction Every Day SERVICE 8oo, INC./Ao«^6 i2-475-3747 <br />/uf6l2-475-3773
