REc�i�� Mark & Laurie Headrick �E(,� � 1480 Bracketts Point Rd �?009 Wayzata, MN 55391 C�TI'p�O RpNQ December 4, 2009 Ms. Christine Mattson City of Orono PO Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 Dear Ms. Mattson, We are the property owners of 1480 Bracketts Point Road, Orono Minnesota. We recently received a brochure mailed by Sheldon Good and Company, 333 W. Wacker Drive, Suite 400, Chicago, Illinois 60606, describing a real estate auction of the "Pillsbury Estate" on December 9, 2009. We would like to state a concern and objection about certain contents in the brochure. As background, Bracketts Point Road consists of nine property owners. Bracketts Point Rd is the single access for all nine property owners to and from County Road 15. Where Bracketts Point joins with County Road 15, the house numbers begin with 1200 and increasing as the road heads south towards the end of the point ending with the house number 1500. The Pillsbury Estate, currently owned by Mr. and Mrs. James Jundt, is located at 1400 Bracketts Point Rd. We, as the owners of 1480 Bracketts Point Rd, are south of Mr. and Mrs. Jundt's property. In this brochure, there is a picture of the property, the Pillsbury Estate, depicting five individual site locations (attached copy for reference). As part of the picture, there is a new road drawn down the middle of the Pillsbury Estate which ends at the south end of the property. The picture does not indicate where or how the road continues on for the property owners beyond 1400 Bracketts Point Rd, mainly 1450, 1480 and 1500 Bracketts Point Rd. There is currently no road beyond the end of the road depicted on the picture. In fact, beyond the depicted road to the south is a newly refurbished tennis court and brand new water garden privately owned and maintained by 1450, 1480 and 1500 Bracketts Point Rd. We are not engineers, however it appears to us that a road created as proposed in the picture would destroy the tennis court and possibly the water garden both laying south of the depicted road. We would like to place our notice of objection to a new road that would alter the tennis court, the jointly owned property or the current road as it is now situated allowing access for 1450, 1480 and 1500 Bracketts Point Road. We find it disingenuous and misleading, to say the least, that Sheldon Good and Company would make a representation that the Pillsbury Estate, to quote the language in the brochure, "can be purchased in its entirety, or as separate waterfront sites." Then present a picture depicting the five site locations, when there has been no discussion, notice, or approval in any
