March 21, 1988 Dear Mr. Bernhardson, I am very interested in being considered for the position on the Orono Planning Commission created by the resigning of Paul Taylor. I think the next three to five years are critical for an organ- ized development of Orono. Orono has always had very high standards for growth and I think, an attitude of "grow slowly". I happen to agree. I would like to see Orono maintain a rural flavor, yet know that growth is inevitable. With the Highway 12/394 completion looming in the near future, the influx of people into the community is already being felt. I would like to see a very controlled growth to keep the standard of living and the quality of life high. I grew up in Deephaven, moved out to Salt Lake City to attend the University of Utah. After graduating with a B.S. in Recreational 'iherapy, I became the Director of Adolescent Recreational Therapy at IDS Hospital. My husband and I moved back to Minnesota in November 1981 and purchased our house in Webber Hills in August of 1982. At that time I was working for Merrill Lynch Realty/P,utnet in Wayzata. For the past few years I have been raising two children and working part time with Betty Jo Ogren at the Five Swans. I have also been a block worker for the Americzn Heart Association for the past two years. I think the environment that we live in is going to play an ever increasing role in our lives. I know from personal and career experiences that the home/neighborhood environment is critical to a balanced life. I would like to work hard at keeping Orono a fabulous corm ".ty to live and raise my children in. Orono has a reputation for an excellent quality of living and I would be honored to help maintain this by serving on the Orono Planning Commission. Thank you for your time, if there are any questions please ci11 me. Sincerely, Sara Moos -- o21 O lver- r--? IIu lot ) AY Z #,* ► -A�
