Mayor Gabriel Jabbour <br />Orono City Council <br />Page 2 <br />3. We are gravely concerned about the issues of safety, <br />increased traffic flow, noise, dust, security and vandalism. <br />Woodhill Avenue is certainly not fit for heavy traffic, and <br />the safety concerns of a road intersecting it at the proposed <br />juncture are numerous. We are aware that the reasons <br />for the club’s closing this back entrance in 1980 included <br />breaches of security, incidents of vandalism, and greatly <br />increased noise, resulting in numerous complaints from <br />the affected residents. <br />4. We believe, and an expert consultant has verified, that <br />opening this road would have a significant negative <br />impact on the future resale value of our home. Again, we <br />know that this is an important consideration in Orono's <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br />We are pleased that Woodhill Country Club has finally decided <br />to follow proper procedures in seeking an amendment to its <br />condition^ use permit. It is our hope that you will remain firm <br />in protecting another beautiful, peaceful Orono neighborhood <br />from this unnecessary intrusion. This back entrance has been <br />closed for nearly twenty years. To reopen it now for the <br />convenience of some of their members is unreasonable and <br />seriously detrimental to the neighborhood ’s character and safety. <br />We hope you will give careful consideration to this matter. <br />Yours truly. <br />/7 <br />Michael D.
