Lindgren; Jennifer Haskamp <br /> Subject: Orono Comprehensive Plan Update <br /> Dear Mr. Gaffron, <br /> I learned this morning that there will be a Public Hearing/ Open House concerning the Orono <br /> Comprehensive Plan this evening at the Freshwater Center. It is my understanding that the <br /> Open House will be held at 5:30 and the Public Hearing at 7:00 p.m. I have looked on the <br /> City's web site and I am not sure if the most current plan has been <br /> published. If it is on the web page, please direct me to it. <br /> Otherwise, would it be possible to obtain a copy of the plan so that we might have a chance <br /> to review it's contents before the meeting this evening? As you are aware our family owns a <br /> 23 acre property at the corner of County Road #6 and Homestead Trail which we wish to develop <br /> with urban services in the near future. It is our desire that this parcel be placed within <br /> the current MUSA boundary so that the existing sewer and water facilities adjacent to this <br /> site can be utilized to provide urban density housing. We have tried to be involved with the <br /> current Comprehensive Plan update but it has been difficult to understand what is actually <br /> being proposed for our land. Based on previous planning documents, it is our understanding <br /> that we have been in the "Urban Reserve" designation for many years, and it is our hope that <br /> the Updated 2008-2030 Comprehensive plan provides for our property to have access to urban <br /> services during this planning period. The site is located within walking distance of the <br /> Orono school campus, it is adjacent to County Road #6 and within a half mile of Highway 12. <br /> Baker Park is across the street and sewer and water are easily accessed from the opposite <br /> side of County Road #6. This property offers an excellent location for housing new and <br /> existing members of the Orono community and the development of this site at a density <br /> permitted only with urban services would be an asset to the City of Orono. We respectfully <br /> request that our land PID # <br /> 2811823310001 be placed within the boundary of the current Metropolitan Urban Services Area <br /> (MUSA) on the City of Orono's 2008-2030 Comprehensive plan update. <br /> Susan H Seeland <br /> Stonegate Farm, LLC <br /> 6851 Flying C1oud Drive . <br /> Eden Prairie, MN 55344 <br /> (612) 991-1823 Cell <br /> susan.seeland(�prc.bz <br /> 1 <br />
