Home My WebLink AboutExhibit I - Additional Public Comment Received 03182024Page 1 of 2 March 16, 2024 City of Orono MN 2750 Kelly Parkway Orono, MN 55356 Natalie Nye / Planner nnye@oronomn.gov Ref: LA24-000012 2700 Casco Point Road No�ce Gree�ngs Natalie, Thankyou for mee�ng with my husband and myself at City Hall on Friday 3/15/24 regarding the above public no�ce. As I men�oned to you, we live immediately to the north side of the 2700 property. Our address is 2684 Casco Point Road and we own three PIDs - two of which (PID 2011723240001 and 2011723240004) connect to the 2700 property which has a PID of 2011723240022. The Tonka Group survey that you showed us has a “Alley” on the north side of the property which abuts our two referenced PID’s. We have a few concerns/requests to bring to your aten�on regarding the demoli�on of the current 2700 home and the construc�on of a new one on the same site: The “Alley” iden�ﬁed on the survey is a mutual usage alley and needs to be maintained in the future. Our PID 2011723240004 is “land locked” and we need to have access to it via the “Alley” going forward. The “Alley” now has a massive amount of dirt and old discarded construc�on material covering the mid- sec�on from the eastern basement excava�on. This now blocks poten�al “Alley”access. Of most concern to us is erosion and spill over to our two PID’s. This should be remedied as soon as reasonably possible before rain washes it down on our PID’s. Again, when reasonably possible. Page 2 of 2 Durning the 2700’s demo and construc�on period, we would NOT want our 2011723240001 property to become a construc�on parking lot or storage area for the 2700 build. We fought this batle when the property across from the 2700’s on Casco Point Road was under months of construc�on. Our 2011723240001 became ruted and abused and needed to be regroomed and replanted even when we had ‘No Parking’ stakes on it. A cleaned up “Alley” should poten�ally allow for the 2700’s construc�on trucks oﬀ Casco Point Parking with minimal inconvenience. Casco Point Road has been seeing many many remodels and new construc�on projects with contractors’ trucks and equipment driving on it. Poten�ally, the 2700’s contractor should u�lize a traﬃc controller ﬁrm to minimize conges�on and manage traﬃc safety when the work begins. Regards, LuAnn Runkle 2684 Casco Point Road Wayzata, MN 55391 Luann_runkle@msn.com From:Dave Runkle To:Natalie Nye Cc:luann_runkle@msn.com Subject:LA24-000012 Application page 127 Date:Monday, March 18, 2024 11:21:08 AM Hi Natalie, My wife and I went on-line and viewed the above Orono MN Planning Commission packet for the 3/18/24 meeting and were surprised to read page 127 which had our names as signees. We are in disbelief that someone would fraudulently put our names to a document we had no knowledge existed until reviewing the packet We have never spoken to Julie Breon about the 2700 project as indicated on page 127 We have had a couple of casual by chance conversations with Robert Breon at our mail box on Casco Pt Rd when mowing our property or walking over several years We have never reviewed or discussed the 2700 project in detail with anyone except with you Natalie on Friday last week (20240316) The 2700 project has had several starts and stops after the sale of the property and various contractors have parked their trucks on our property which we oppose The issue of using our names falsely on page 127 does not bode well for our support of any requested variance Regards Dave Runkle 2684 Casco Point Road Wayzata, MN 55391-9722 dave_runkle@msn.com 612.868.4534
