This formal and intensive education has provided a st.ong and <br />broad foundation of knowledge for me, but more importantly, it <br />focused my attitude toward the importance of development as a <br />social responsibility. I believe that developers have a moral <br />obligation to society to provide attractive, quality projects. <br />I have lived around Lake Minnetonka most of my life, and <br />therefore understand the tremendous development pressures that are <br />now facing the area and especially Orono because of i.s position <br />in relation to I-394. While I would love to see this community <br />remain the way it is today, I :snow as well as anyone that change <br />through development is inevitable and a part of life. :;�jwever, <br />through my education at M.I.T. and my experience as a professional <br />in the industry I know that if development is properly planned and <br />performed responsibly it can be a positive thing. I am not anti - <br />development but by no means am I pro -development either. I believe <br />that our natural resources are valuable and that if one wishes to <br />replace those with something man-made it should be done in a <br />responsible manner, with careful planning, attention to details <br />and not merely profit motivated. A development should complement <br />the existing enviroment not destroy it. <br />Orono has an abundance of natural beauty, but none to waste. <br />Because this is my home I have a vital interest in seeing that <br />this valuable asset is preserved as muci. as possible. As I stated <br />earlier, I feel that I can provide unique and helpful insight for <br />that preservation. <br />Thank you for your time and consideration. <br />
