L • -■^■- #Iniiy Sept. 11. 1997 SEP. 1 a isgr, A * Orono Planning Commission Mr. Mike Gafifron Citv^ of Orono 2750 Kellev Parkway- P.O. Box 66 Crvstai Bav, Mn. 55323 a Dear Commission Members and Mr. Gaffron. I am writing regarding the request for a subdivision of tlie propert\‘ located at 905 West Fenidale Road in which a portion of propertv' identified as Lot 13 of North Shore Cottage Acres is being seperated from the 905 propert>' and joined to the propertv' at 980 West Femdale Road. M\ famih owns and resides at 960 West Femdale Road which is located w m betw'een the 905 and 980 properties. Wc also own lakeshorc south of W'est Femdale Road between 905 and i 045.

First I have a grave concern for how such a partition will affect the stabilit\- of the Femdale neighborhood and the entire cit>-, especially areas around the lake. The Cir/ Codes and CMP hold orderly development and stabilitv' to be important goals to achieve. There is great demand for lakeshore all over Orono, and there are numerous sites where nearby I .
