U- <br />( i <br />I <br />I .v.v !n <br />March 19, 1990 2'5 1990 <br />MEMO <br />TO; <br />FROM: <br />RE: <br />Janes Grabek, Mayor <br />Pan & Joe Sawchuk <br />Bederwood Park Developnent <br />We have lived at 4105 Watertown Road since 1975. We regularly <br />ride our horses down Watertown Road, then down Stubbs Bay Road, <br />to get onto the Luce Line. There are many horse owners on <br />Watertown Road, and this is a conmon route for all of us. If <br />OBA is allowed to change Bederwood Park for Little League Play, <br />you will seriously disrupt this connon practice of those of us <br />who live here. There will be too many people, too many cars, <br />too Buch noise, and too many lights for peaceful and safe <br />horseback riding. Bederwood currently serves the purpose it was <br />designed for; it is a tranquil, pastoral ’’country park" that <br />offers respite to the walkers, joggers ano horse riders of the <br />Luce Line. <br />The OBA Bederwood renovation is particularly ill-conceived when <br />compared to the alternative: renovating the grounds at the Orono <br />schools for Little League Play. School grounds should be for <br />children and for children’s play. Leave the adult parks for the <br />adults and their families. <br />In addition, at Orono you already have the parking facilities. <br />It is really poor Judgement to further reduce a small, <br />picturesque park by enlarging the parking lot! The obvious <br />choice overall, and for the long-term outlook, is Orono School, <br />not Bederwood for OBA.
