Stop 40-Unit Apartment/Condo Building on Freshwater Institute Property <br /> About this petition <br /> A developer proposes building a multi-tenant condominium/apartment building adjacent to the <br /> Freshwater Institute in Navarre (2520 Shadywood Road) (the "Project"). The Project involves 40 <br /> units, is 4 stories high (5 stories-58' 8"—on the wetland side), with includes 84 to 100 parking spots. <br /> The Project would require rezoning the property and other variances from the City of Orono and other <br /> governmental agencies. <br /> Citizens of Orono and cities neighboring Navarre oppose this Project due to, among other things, the <br /> high density, height, increased traffic and congestion, increased noise, increased light, negative <br /> impact on animal habitats and wetlands, negative impact on adjoining neighborhoods and the <br /> precedent this Project would set for Navarre and the City of Orono. <br /> We, the undersigned concerned citizens of the Navarre area, urge Orono, MN leaders to deny the <br /> rezoning and boundary line adjustment of, and variances and any other special accommodations for, <br /> the Project due to the adverse impact the Project will have on the purpose and value of Orono's <br /> zoning regulations and the health and welfare of the citizens of Orono and its neighbors. <br /> Page 2 of 18 <br />
