We <br /> raised two sons on this property that enjoyed the freedom of space and access to Long Lake for many <br /> years. We have strong family ties and were raised from modest backgrounds, Our family is well <br /> educated with either post graduate or college degrees from highly reputable universities. <br /> The community has many benefits that originalty attracted us to Orono 16 years ago, including an <br /> excellent school system,strong community values,ease of access to virtually anywhere in Minneapolis <br /> and affluent,wel!-educated citizens. Orono has an excellent reputation in the Greater Minneapolis Area <br /> and often ranks as one of the most desirable places to live En nationai surveys. <br /> Over the years,we have come to truly appreciate the desirability,serenity and beauty of Orono. There <br /> are many great piaces to reside in Orano, including the Sugar Woods development. Andrea and i are <br /> passionate to make our development plan a more contemporary, updated model compared to Sugar <br /> Woods. This should create a highly desirable place to live and raise a family. <br /> Our goals for the development include luxury,high-end custom built homes with a priority on <br /> exclusivity,privacy,safety and environmentally-friendly design. In analyzing the property,we wanted to <br /> ensure that our development design was compliant with city code and the comprehensive plan while <br /> preserving the environmentally sensitive areas of Long Lake shoreHne and Dic(cey's Creek. The initial <br /> concept plan subm�tted with the applicatfon entailed years of careful thought and planning in arder to <br /> achieve our collective vision for the property. <br /> We very much want to work with the city and make this development a highly prized asset for the <br /> community and prospective new home owners. At the same time, we have paid taxes on a large parcet <br /> of land for many years and also want to exercise our development rights that are allowed under current <br /> ordinances, <br /> Since�ely, <br /> Eric&Andrea Larson <br />
