r <br />JUN-0T-98 SUN 01:13 PM Me I&h 6 1 24725663 <br />Jjiffear Neighbors <br />The City of Orono is proposing that the woods behind the large corner lot on <br />County Rd 19 and Tonkaview Lane would be a great place for an actively <br />scheduled little league ball field and playground. Your neighlwrs have some <br />serious concerns. Some of those concerns are addressed below: <br />2, <br />3, <br />4, <br />3, <br />6. <br />Location: <br />The obscure location with virtually NO \isibility from any <br />road around the proposed area. <br />Traffic: <br />This road would be expected to accommodate an additional 30 to 50 cars, <br />all at the same time, three nights each week. (Coming and Going). There <br />is, as you know, a sharp curve just south of the intersections with two <br />nearly blind entrances from the two adjoining side streets. There is already <br />traffic concerns without this proposed burden. <br />Parking: <br />No plans for adequate parking other than to share Fairview <br />Covenant church’ parking lot which will safely hold only 20 cars at <br />the very most, (where do you think the additional cars will <br />park?) <br />Wooded Open Space: <br />The loss of valuable woodland, which is the last of it’s kind <br />in this area of dense development. Also, the Saga Hill Preservation <br />Society has worked so very hard to keep this land as opens space. <br />bioise: <br />Added noise, litter and a haven for out-of-sight/out-of-mind <br />acti\itics(Iate night beer parties, bonfires). Currently, without calling <br />attention to this area, wc have a small amount of this undesirable <br />activity occurring. Now it is manageable. .A large out of sight park area <br />will be a “Welcome” sign to undesirable dangerous situations and like <br />activities. <br />Condemnation: <br />Last, but not least, the City of Orono may conduct condemnation <br />proceedings against Fairview Covenant Church’ park area in order to <br />fulfill their political desires. <br />YOUR VOICE IS NEEDED**' PLE.ASE, ATEND THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING MONDAY(JUNH 8) AT 6.45P.M..
