August 7, 1989 <br />John R. Gerhardson <br />Public works Director <br />City of Orono <br />P. 0. Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br />Dear Mr. Gerhardson: <br />As you know, the McCulley Farm Homeowners Association has black - <br />topped Deborah Drive, a private road, according to city specifi- <br />cations and city inspections. Originally we were told by Glen <br />Cook that our written specifications were acceptable and we pro- <br />ceeded on that basis. In our specifications we call for four <br />speed bumps. Much later I received from you a phone call indi- <br />cating speed bumps would not be acceptable to the City of Orono. <br />We are therefore requesting a review of your decision by City <br />Council in order to allow the installation and maintenance Gf <br />four speed bumps on Deborah Drive as was originally called for in <br />our approved specifications. <br />The Homeowners Association is very idamant and concerned in this l`? <br />regard. Deborah Drive has always been a "cut thru" road for all <br />to use even though it is a private road and so marked. Now with <br />black top in place it's become a "race way" too. <br />Many of our residents have children who use, bike or wait for the <br />bus on this road. Even before blacktop there has been several <br />serious accidents. It is our greatest fear that the next acci- <br />dent will involve our children, which are our most loved trea- <br />sures and blessings, and because of this we can not rest nor will <br />we rest until this deadly problem is resolved. <br />In conclusion, we are asking that all the people involved, <br />whether your parents or not, please consider our plea and allow <br />us the installation of these bumps as soon as possible. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />MC '" LLEY FARMS HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION <br />t <br />Thomas R.
