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

Too large for the street.

We live in Navarre.

Doesn't fit our community and would destroy our wetlands! Absolutely not!

I used to live in Navarre for many years and I agree that the area cannot support this type of development for a variety of reasons, Traffic flow being one but as already stated, the irony of building high density housing on a protected habitat and fresh water area. Making money should not be the primary concern.

Navarre cannot handle a development of this size!!

How can this benefit the environment or the quality of life here in Navarre? It will not.

No way, any cars too many people too many more boats. We don't need to cram people in here it's already full. Look at how close the houses are to their neighbors. Find something somewhere that already exists! How much irony in having a freshwater area donated, dedicated to always be undeveloped that way and then you put in a bunch of apartments, boat slips and hundreds more cars on our little go cart track of 30 miles an hour in and out of town, depending on who the front vehicle is and if they decide to go the speed limit otherwise there's always a train of cars going 25-30 in a45 mph. It's just all gotten crazy.

I live about a 2 wood away from the site of this proposed debacle. It does not belong in that location. It does nothing enhance the character of downtown Orono (Navarre). Traffic has already ballooned to an unsafe level in that area. Please do not change any zoning or approve variances to allow this project's approval.

There is a place for everything and this is not the place to be putting in a 4-5 story, 40 unit condo/apartment unit. Looks like greed to me and it is to small of an area to do this. It's a wetland for nature to use!

Lake (water) quality is an important issue for Lake Minnetonka. Disturbing the wetland will only be another negative impact.

I am strongly opposed to this development

Stay strict and strong on the current zoning laws. This type of development is not suited to be on a swamp, nor the dredging and channel proposed to let residents get to Lake Minnetonka. There is a reason this has remained a swamp for so many decades and should remain so without any disturbance from a developer who cares nothing for the wetlands or nature that uses it.

I strongly oppose this development.

Traffic will be adversely affected by this development. We strongly oppose this development.

All the development all over the Orono area is destroying the charm of the city and making traffic unbearable. 15 and 19/McCulley both are already getting nearly impossible to cross (or sometimes even enter going the same direction) at certain times.

To much traffic now. it will kill the charm of Navarre!

This will have a major impact on traffic, wildlife and not fit the small footprint of Navarre. We already have major traffic problems on 19. This must not happen !

This complex would severely increase traffic, damage wildlife and not fit into a small community. It must be stopped.

Too big--keep within zoning limits.

The traffic would be horrendous, there would be huge negative impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. We can't let this happen...
