OASON C. BECKER <br />3146 NURTN SNORE DRIVE <br />WArZATA,MINNESOTA 66361 <br />January 19, 1976 <br />Orono Planning Commission <br />Village of Orono <br />Dear Commissioners: <br />We recently read in a local paper that some more people were <br />asking permission to subdivide their lots presumably for the <br />purpose of building more homes. We further understand this <br />to be on the north side of North Shore Drive in the vicinity <br />of our home, which is located on the south side of North Shore <br />Drive. <br />We would like to voice our objection to the subdivision of <br />properties on the 7ILrth side of North Shore Drive for the fol- <br />lowing reasons: <br />1. The arEa in question is already pretty well built up, <br />meaning that it is well developed with homes. We <br />think, therefore, that it would be a mistake to al- <br />low more home building in the already well -developed <br />areas of Orono which would also increase the donsity <br />of population in an area which is already well popula- <br />ted. If the Planning Commission permitted everyone in <br />Orono who had a larger size lot to subd, ide and build <br />humes, we suspect we would not only end up with a <br />density of population unsatisfactory to the majority <br />of Orono, but we would find that the resources of the <br />corrnnunity Mould be taxed beyond a reasonable point. <br />2. Bitting more homes on the lots which already have homes <br />on them would Cesult in the deterioration of home alurs <br />in the immediate .,icinity. As stated above, the area <br />.is already well settl-d. 11' more homes are introduced <br />in the area, then we ti!ink that o(wincm sense indicates <br />that there will be an overall downgrading of the area as <br />a place to live due to the fact that it is now more <br />crowded with housing. Presently, the arcs is will <br />built up although it still retains a rustic, somewhat <br />MuWC,6� �)PE� :7, - <br />*0--'5 <br />L4113 (? % <br />
