Stop 40-Unit Apartment/Condo Building on Freshwater Institute Property

So tired of our lake cities trying to make more on taxes. It's bad enough out here with mansions on top of mansions. Stop ruining our lake. Our environment. Do something good for a change. I'll tell you what. Don't make it condos. Make it section 8 housing. Now how do you feel about that? I bet it give you the willies. Ugh. Disgusting.

Disagree on the building of a 40 unit apartment building

This town doesn't need anymore condos!

As so many other citizens, I am very concerned about the increased traffic, the outsized development for the neighborhood , impact to the wetlands and what liberal interpretation of variances could allow this project even to get to this stage. One final point, the traffic was so bad on 19 over a decade ago that commuters were using Old Beach Road as a shortcut to CR 15 that the city closed the Old Beach Road entrance onto CR 19. The traffic now back up to the Narrow bridge during rush hours. When will the city of Orono learn?

I oppose this development as described. In addition to increasing traffic on already congested local roads, this project is simply too large and not in scale with the neighborhood. It would also adversely affect the adjacent wetland and the natural flow of water into Lake Minnetonka.

I am strongly opposed to the proposed development. We do not have the road capacity for the project, it would impact the charm of the area, and it is not in keeping with the comprehensive plan of the City of Orono.

It is not only traffic, it is the impact upon the wetland area, which is precious to our region. This is one of the last wooded areas adjacent to the freshwater wetlands lets hold on to it.

I'd like to see a building that would have less impact on the already heavy traffic.

A good traffic analysis paid for by the developer and reviewed by the city engineer and Hennepin County would likely show that at peak travel times traffic is already too congested in Navarre.

Please reconsider the location of this project. Traffic is already terrible at the intersection of 15 &19, this will only make it worse. It backs up to West Point Road during rush hour. I oppose this project.

There must be space available that doesn't involve limiting the view to just a few apt. dwellers.

I travel Cty Rd 19 often, sometimes several times daily and the traffic is already terrible without any additional traffic. A building that large would also be an eyesore to what is supposed to be maintained as a Wildlife area.

I don't care for a number of things about this project but the traffic situation at this intersection is already dangerous and I believe this would make it much worse.

Please rethink this project from a community stand point. This will forever ruin any potential for Navarre to develop into a charming small-town atmosphere, destroy the beautiful habitat and the pleasant skyline, not to mention the traffic!. There are so many possibilities for this location,,,, put a little thought into it.

This is already a dangerous traffic situation. Traffic on County Road 19 backs up for miles - even beyond the Narrows bridge during rush hours. Navarre has no history of such density and is not in keeping with the neighborhood or wildlife areas. County Rd 19 is a major recreational county asset with a huge number of cyclists touring Lake Minnetonka along this route. Single family would be in keeping with the history of this neighborhood.

I object having any more traffic on city rd 19. The proposed condo would make it extremely difficult to get in and out of driveways. The line up on 19& 15 he's ridiculous at this point. He's ridiculous at this point

The impact of this type of project would overwhelm the area in so many negative ways.

This is out of bounds. Traffic is a nightmare as is. It is not in keeping with the character of the area. Not to say how it will impact local habitat/animals.

Way to big and too many units for such a small area. Congested area, brings more congestion. I strongly oppose this project.

This is primarily a too tall building.
