PATRICIA WYSOCKY <br /> 1555 ORCHARD BEACH PLACE,ORONO,MN 55364,952.472.2510 <br /> September 13,2017 <br /> To Whom it May Concern; <br /> This letter is in strong opposition to any proposed building at 1565 Orchard Beach Place. <br /> No building could come close to meeting Orono's required average lakeshore setback, <br /> and any building on the lot would partially block our view of the lake, especially from <br /> our lower level.
