Home My WebLink AboutRe: handicap doors September 12, 2013 Steve Krampf ORONO ICE ARENA 1025 Old Crystal Bay Rd N Long Lake, MN 55356 Dear Steve, It is disappointing the Orono Ice Arena continues to have facility that is not fully accessible to handicap individuals. The handicap accessible doors have NOT OPERATED properly since last year. I have pointed this out to Orono Arena Management staff at least three times, including you. Each time I am told the doors are broken due to hockey players hitting the electronic door opening pad. While this may be true, it is not an excuse to find a solution. The arenas indifference to this issue is embarrassing. The bottom line is the only people who are impacted by this are the individuals who need the doors to work properly. Your lack of action and disregard has forced me to send a letter not only to you, but to those listed below who I believe will fully support and require Orono Ice Arena to find a long term solution to the problem. Sincerely, Concerned Orono Hockey Parent 7 -,30 - 2.013 (` CC: --. 1-a-Q 5 A i /� The Department of Labor and Industry 51 �� w ��'� S�� k �o cc A 5 1vN�`''l� Code Enforcement O o b _ �S W o 2K I tiS `��^�� 6 T 4 , 443 Lafayette Road N. 14,40 "� k_ JJ , s -N ^-' 0 F Sw ^-� S St. Paul, MN 55155l� J c9 i N -,- Pa 5 6004 � 4j, a� 2r-}- ts c.� City Of Orono SLA-, c.1-' r5 i;L Lyle Oman ✓>d�� y Me 5 t":71(A . e S JR D 2750 Kelley Parkway `�` pA.f,u,, Y4A 1- Orono, MN 55356 / S i=nA ds" P of s' ar lo' -(EN11-»'\ 7 1A_ i G. , 46 Cir r%f?--49/►'_ Orono Public (.(2)^A"-- Dr. Karen Orcutt �° 685 Old Crystal Bay Road North Orono, Minnesota 55356 Orono Ice Arena Board Member Chris Hickok 140 Golden View Drive Long Lake MN 55356 RECEIVED SCEP 2 5 2013 Crry OF ORONO 1-22 FIRE PREVENTION CODE and is in excess of 150 ft (45.8 m) in length.
