Bryant <br /> John M.Bryant <br /> 1345 French Creek Drive <br /> March 5,2010 <br /> Dear Council Woman Bremer, <br /> We are strongly opposed to granting a Conditional Use Permit t allow commercial activity on what is now the <br /> Hill School property. Unfortunately,the focus on the real issue has been distracted by the emotional <br /> discussions of eating disorders and rehab...the testimonies that e have heard,while heartfelt, are not pertinent <br /> to the issue at hand. <br /> A twenty-four hour, seven day per week, for-profit, commerciaa]enterprise in a neighborhood zoned for <br /> residential use does not fit the criteria of the Orono Municipal land use code. The lot is inadequate in size for <br /> the volume and complexity of this business.The parking situation alone is problematic. Briar Street is only 19- <br /> 20 feet across and posted"No Parking"for good reason. <br /> It is simply not safe for temporary parking. The increases in em gency vehicle traffic(projected by the Emily <br /> Program)at this business will cause significant neighborhood sturbances and add to safety risks as well. We <br /> feel that this business would have a negative impact on our nei borhood. <br /> We urge the Mayor and Council Members to listen to their co 'tuents. Please do not grant a Conditional Use <br /> Permit allowing commercial activity on the existing Hill School Property. <br /> Thank you for your service to our community. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Debra and John Bryant <br /> 952.473.9154 <br /> bryantmn@mchsi.com <br /> i <br />
