ORONO <br />HOCKEY BOOSTERS. INC. <br />BOX 205 <br />LONG LAKE. MN 55356 <br />February 21, 1996 <br />Mr. James T. Swanson <br />2995 Jamestown Road <br />Long Lake, MN 55356 » 1; \A.Ajr <br />i <br />Re: Orono Ice Arena <br />Dear Mr. Swanson: <br />In our letter to you dated January 13, 1996, we <br />"tried to summarize the topics that we discussed at our <br />January 24 meeting, and noted that we would appear in front <br />of the planning commission again at its March meeting with <br />our full application for a conditional use permit. <br />We want you to know that we have decided not to <br />take our application for the project to the planning <br />commission in March, but to delay one month, and to appear <br />in April. <br />This time will let us present our design <br />(including a change to a lower, flat roof) in a more <br />effective fashion, and generally let us continue our careful <br />approach to the project. <br />Still, this decision risks our May l starting <br />date, which is an important part of reliably meeting the <br />reguirements next fall of the new Orono High School girls* <br />hockey team, the requirements of our own youth program, and <br />the requirements of figure skaters and other ice users in <br />the Orono community. <br />We will call a neighbors' meeting shortly to <br />continue work on the concerns about the project, and will <br />establish how we meet and communicate about the project from there. <br />With this month delay, and with continued work <br />together, it is our strong hope that we can all go to the <br />planning commission in April comfortable with our project <br />and ready to see it proceed. If for some reason we are not, <br />Mark Engebretson President 475-3460
