February 23,.1976 <br />i elephnne 173-7.3,537 <br />CITY ®f ORONO <br />Post Office Box 66 o Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 • Municipal Offices <br />t <br />On the North Shore of bake Minnetonka <br />Mr. A. J. Lee <br />Director of Public Works & <br />County Engineer <br />320 Washington Avenue South <br />Hopkins, Minnesota 55343 <br />Dear Mr. Lee: <br />As in the past, the City of Orono is most anxious to see the <br />early accomplishment of the ring route concept which involves <br />diverting heavy commuting and commercial traffic from using <br />roadways traversing the center of Lake Minnetonka (County Roads <br />#15 and #19) and rerouting.traffic north of Mound connecting <br />#110 and #19 to Highways #6 and #12. This would eventually <br />create County #15 as a scenic parkway. It has been noted in <br />recent correspondence to Mr. Craig Spencer, Chairman of the <br />West Hennepin County Transportation Committee, that preservation <br />of Lake Minnetonka is the primary underlying goal of Orono's <br />recently adopted Comprehensive Guide Plan. As a result, roadway <br />designations as well as land use policies play an important role <br />in the preservation of Lake Minnetonka and areas contiguous to it. <br />Creating standards at an early date which would conform to Orono's <br />land use policies and maintain a scenic parkway designation of <br />County Road #15 would certainly allow all participants of the <br />Transportation Committee to equally play an important role in the <br />preservation of our natural resources. <br />Sincerely, <br />Walter nson <br />City Admi istrator <br />
