Mr. & Mrs. Benjamin R. Field <br />1729 North Farm Road <br />Long Lake, Minnesota 55356 <br />May 11, 1988 <br />Orono Planning Commission <br />City of Orono <br />P.O. Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br />Dear Planning Commission Members: <br />We are writing to oppose proposal number 1286 of Gary Roderick <br />Construction Inc. which owns the new home under construction at <br />1749 North Farm Road. It is our understanding that the proposal <br />calls for a six-foot high, solid, wood fence over three hundred feet <br />long between the new house and County Road 6. <br />We are the owners of the property next to the Roderick site and have <br />lived at 1729 North Farm Road for over four years. We oppose the <br />proposal for the fence fo, the following reasons: <br />1. It is not in keeping with the Orono community to have artificial <br />barriers which limit the feeling of open spaces and detract from <br />the natural beauty of the area. <br />2. The fence would be just across tl'e road from Wolsfeld woods, <br />a beautiful, natural preserve of virgin forest and would tend <br />to destroy its natural setting. <br />3. The fence would tend to shut ot:" our home and the lots next to <br />us from the natural view and opznness of WoL..eld woods. <br />4. The fence would create the a:Dp, -_-ante of a low quality develop- <br />ment for the North Farm Road . : i and would set a dangerous <br />precedent for future resident.iF .,velopment in Orono. <br />As alternatives to the proposed t,,r v;e would favor birming the <br />area next to County Road 6 or puuh,g to a row of trees and bushes, <br />possibly with a split rail fence. ''' solâ–º_itions are in keeping with <br />
