70 <br />To. <br />Mayor Grabek & Orono Council Members <br />Planning Commission �.hairman Kelly <br />Orono Planning Commission Members <br />City Administrator Bernharuson <br />Jeanne A. Mabusth, Building & Zoning Admini <br />From: Kim & Diane Mitchell <br />12304 - 12th Avenue North <br />Plymouth, MN ::5441 <br />Property address: <br />Date: July 11, 1989 <br />760 Hunt Farm Road <br />Long Lake, MN 55356 <br />Subject: #1417- NorteLn States Power proposed electric sub-stati: <br />3960 - 6th Avenue t )rth <br />My wife and I are the preF nt owners of the residential property <br />at 760 Hunt Farm Road whi,-h immediatel, adjoins the proposed <br />development site to the West. Our building plans are designed <br />for a single-family dwe4linj with an estimated market value of <br />four hundred twenty five -housand dollars. Due to the topography <br />of our lot, our ground second floor -elevations are many feet <br />.tbove the proposed sub -station str.uccure. We have no alternative <br />but tc locate the house wit:: the rear elevation directed towards <br />the proposed suD—station structure.

The noise and lack of maintenance to the <br />sub -station grounds, as is the case with the present sLb-station <br />located at Highway 101 and the Luce Line cLrrontly, will have an <br />adverse i, -ct on the health, safety and welfare of the residents <br />in Oron: he detriment to the real estate values of the <br />resident. ;roperties surrounding this proposed sub -station a <br />of reams Ern to me. As Commission member Hanson noted, he <br />not p,irchase a residential property next to a sub -station as w.. <br />his decision sometime ago ,-ihen seeking prope ty near the lc, at - on <br />of the sub -station in Wayzati. In that case, t:ie sub-stati_.i was <br />before the development of re—dential property, not afterwards. <br />oftentimes people L.ch as NSP come upon a site which they consider <br />best sui.table for their deeds and then have trouble.-jeing <br />motivated to locate alternate sites. Find the location, have it <br />approved and then be done. I cannot belie- that there are not <br />
