Orono provides a unique living environment having <br />developed its character over many years and by following its Comprehensive Plan. Its <br />charm comes from its rural setting which is due, in large part, to lot sizes of a minimum <br />of two acres and no major through streets except Highway 12. To consider relocating <br />Higjiway 12 would destioy the character of Oono and its distinct urban and rural life <br />s^. <br />Highway 12 has existed in its current location from Orono’s initial stages of development. <br />People and businesses who bought/built near it did so with full knowledge of its presence. <br />There will be disruptions, value implications, and environmental impact regardless of <br />what route is chosen in order not to violate Orono’s Comprehensive Plan and to <br />maintain the integrity of this community, the Highway 12 corridor should not be <br />relocated. <br />I am under the impression that Orono is not an outward critic of the relocation of <br />Highway 12. If this is the case, I would appreciate an explanation of the City ’s stance <br />since I see no positive aspects to its relocation. <br />Sincerely, <br />Matthew N.
