<br />Mehelich, Catherine <br /> <br />From: <br />Sent: <br />To: <br />Cc: <br /> <br /> <br />ane Ba hkbabeoek@yahoo.com] <br />onday, August 07 10:49 AM <br />e Ie, a enne <br />Leeseberg, Chris; Clark, Scott; John E Babcock; Ifarber; jgumphrey; sklinzing; pmotin; Nick <br />Zerwas <br />Clarification of Removing Babcock Property/Trail System from Redevelopment Plans <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Kathy, <br /> <br />As per your request, here is the clarification of our request to remove Our property as a <br />trail site/park as laid out in the current the "Mississippi Connections Redevelopment <br />Framework Draft Land Use Plan": <br /> <br />The Draft Land Use Plan, as it was presented in the July 6th, 2007 mailing to <br />stakeholders, makes use of our property for a trail system that would bring the public <br />behind our neighborhood and link our property to the Lake Orono dam and to downtown. <br /> <br />We do not support this planned trail. Furthermore, we are not interested in selling our <br />land or allowing for <br />any public access through our land. <br /> <br />We respectfully request that our property be completely eliminated from consideration in <br />the "Mississippi Connections Redevelopment Framework Land Use Plan". <br /> <br />This includes removal of any reference to our land as being used as a trail site/park in <br />the "illustratives", "narratives", PowerPoint presentations, "maps", "20 Year Visions" and <br />anything else that would be part of the "Mississippi Connections" redevelopment plan for <br />the "greater downtown area", which was geographically defined as the core downtown in <br />addition to 400 acres of the surrounding area. <br /> <br />We request that this matter be considered by the volunteer Task Force members at the <br />upcoming Task Force meeting scheduled for August 13th, 2007. <br /> <br />If our property appears on any city redevelopment maps, we do not want any trails, parks <br />or public access to be marked on it. We do not wish to have our land designated as ~Open <br />Space", a more accurate label for our land is private property. <br /> <br />Hopefully this will clarify our position for you Kathy, any other questions, feel free to <br />call me or John. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Nancy Babcock <br /> <br /> <br />John Babcock <br /> <br />Take the Internet to Go: Yahoo!Go puts the Internet in your pocket: mail, news, photos & <br />more. <br />http://mobile.yahoo,com/go?refer=lGNXIC <br /> <br />1 <br />
