ORONO <br />HOCKEY BOOSTERS, INC. <br />BOX 205 <br />LONG LAKE. MN 55356 ^ ^ <br />April 2, 1996 <br />Mr. Janes R. Grabek <br />3050 Jamestown Road <br />Long Lake, MN 55356 <br />Re: Orono Ice Arena <br />Dear Jim: <br />I want to follow up on our meeting on March 21, <br />and on your continuing concern about the appearance of the <br />arena project from County 6. <br />The advice from our architects and engineers is <br />that the building should still be located at the north <br />setback from County 6 (approx. 70 feet from the roadway), <br />for these reasons: <br />• we should have a south-facing lobby and <br />entry, given the arena's primary winter use, <br />and to the extent possible, the parking <br />should orient to that entry on the south side <br />• parking on the south also fits the day use of <br />the parking by high school students, and <br />supports the more general integration of the <br />arena's and the School District's parking <br />lots <br />• sliding the building to the south, and having <br />its north face rise off the edge of a parking <br />lot, is a less desirable aesthetic outcome <br />than having the building face rise up out of <br />the landscaping, even though the face is <br />closer to County 6 <br />• drainage of the site around the wetland and <br />into the detention pond is better <br />accomplished with the building on the north <br />Mark Engebretson President 475*3460
