O. Box 66 <br />........... • <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 FEB 2 8 1991 <br />RE; Relocation of Highway 12 <br />Dear Mr. Bemhardson: <br />1 flwi a concerned citizen of Orono. Orono provides a unic}ue 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 relacatmg <br />Highway 12 would destroy the character of Orono and its distinct urban and rural life <br />Style. <br />Highly 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 ki owledge 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 cntic of the relocation of <br />Highway 12. If this is the case, I would appreciate an explanation of the City ’s stai <br />since I see no positive aspects to its relocation. <br />Sincerely, <br />Matthew N. Nicoll . — - <br />MNN:lab 9 <br />iliirifliir
