LINDQUIST & V E N N U M <br />City of Orono <br />November 22, 1988 <br />Page 2 <br />is satisfactory to Rebers and the neighbors. This location had <br />the following benefits: <br />1. A safe locat-ion, virtually as safe as a location at the <br />top of the hill, sin,::e the sight line of 400' would <br />satisfy a •10 mph speed limit when th!- present speed limit <br />is only 30 mph and require only ?5(" of sight line. <br />2. Avoidance of rc.igestiun of acc,:sses at the northerly end <br />of Browr Road. <br />3. Spread J.r,y out or t;:r local traffic accessing onto Brown <br />Road mcce or le-s aqually along its length so as not to <br />ever -burden an., one portion of the road so as to maintain <br />the rural feel of the neighborhood. <br />4. Spaces this busy access more than the required 100 feet <br />from the Mabusth driveway (which the top of the hill <br />access fails to do). <br />5. Avoidance of 100-125 sets of headlights shining into the <br />Mabusth house everyday and avoidance of the noise <br />associated %ith that volume of traffic movement at the <br />Mabusth house. <br />6. Complies with what the neighbors want and the neighbors, <br />including the Mabusths, understood they would get from the <br />Rebers subdivision. <br />Therefore we respectfully ask you to approve the preliminary plat <br />of Rebers Subdivision, but return the access road to the <br />location 400' south of the top of the hill as originally <br />proposed, properly engineered to best solve a" problems and as <br />agreed and understood by the neighbors. Tl- access road location <br />(at the top of the hill) suggested by the planning commission <br />places the access road in a safe location also, but it <br />unacceptably exacerbates all the other problems identified above. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />LINDQUIST & VENNUM <br />IL <br />Robert G.
