MARK F. ENGEBRETSON <br />2905 Fox Street <br />Long Lake, MN 55356 <br />April 6, 1990 V V <br />Ms. Dorothy Hallin <br />Orono City Clerk <br />City of Orono <br />1335 South Brown Road <br />Orono, MN 55391 <br />Dear Ms. Hallin: <br />I am writing to express my interest in serving as one <br />of Orono's representatives on the Highway 12/394 citizen's task <br />force. <br />I grew up in Deephaven, Minnesota, and graduated from <br />Minnetonka High School in 1971, Dartmouth College in 1975 and <br />Harvard Law School in 1978. <br />I joined the Faegre & Benson law firm in 1978, and <br />have practiced in the area of commercial real estate ever <br />since. I have lived in Orono since the fall of 1981, first at <br />3120 North Shore Drive (with time out for a two year tour of <br />duty with the firm’s branch office in Denver), and second, <br />since the summer of 1988, at 2905 Fox Street. <br />My interest in the task force comes from two sources. <br />First, my family and I appreciate very much Orono*s natural <br />surroundings, its schools and its approach to development. I <br />have been delinquent in devoting my time and efforts in <br />repayment for the benefits of living in Orono, and the <br />citizen's task force appears to provide a means to start that <br />repayment. <br />Second, my real estate practice has focused to a large <br />extent on the development of major mixed-use projects in <br />Minnesota and other states. I hope that that background can <br />bring some experience and perspective to the tremendous issues <br />involved in the Highway 12 upgrade and its development <br />implications. <br />If you have any questions, or if I should provide any <br />more information, please call me at work (336-3198) or at home <br />(475-3460). <br />Very truly yours. <br />Mark F.
