°` +� ` PC Exhibit D-� <br /> R���e��� <br /> - � ��a 2220�� <br /> 2/20/2001 C��VOF�RoNO <br /> To whom it may concern, - <br /> We have been asked by Sailors World to comment on parking in and around the <br /> rraarina located on Smith's Bay in Orono. , � <br /> My wife Mary and I, and our family, have been residents at 1980 Spates Ave., <br /> Wayzata, Mn 55391 for 31+ years. This is one of two properties located directly <br /> aeross Shoreline Drive from the marina, 1980 Spates Ave., and 1960 Shoreline Dr. <br /> We own both propert'ies. There have been No Parking signs on Spates Ave. since <br /> the day I moved into the house many years ago. I have always suspected that this <br /> is I'eftover from �he Paul's Landing days when they had fishing contests and small <br /> boat rentals. My family and I have been the only violators of these no parking <br /> signs, when I have a party and run out of room in my driveway. This is a rare <br /> event. I have never experienced any problems with marina people violating <br /> these no parking signs on Spates Ave. <br /> In all the years that we have lived here, we have never experienced any problems <br /> with overflow parking from the marina. I spend a lot of time in and around the <br /> marina as I keep my boat in a marina slip, I love the lake in the summer, and have <br /> known the owners since we were young kids. I have rarely seen the parking lot <br /> even close to full, and that is on a rare holiday that also has delightful weather. <br /> When the forecast is predicting high use at the marina, the parking lot has always <br /> been managed by the Sailor's World employees to gain maximum use of space. <br /> Again this is a rare occasion when the lot is close to full. <br /> I have known the owners of this marina since the day it was purchased, as we <br /> worked there as kids when it was Paul's Landing many years ago. I have never at <br /> any time had any problem with how this marina has been run, related to parking <br /> and cars. I have even volunteered my driveway to the employees, when <br /> necessary, to free up any additional spaces that might be needed. I don't <br /> remember this o�er being used on more than one or two occasions in the years I <br /> have lived here. <br />
