Municipal Consent Public Hearing Written Comments November 16, 2010, Addendum to Council Minutes Page 7 of 33 ------------------------------------------------------------ - - - - -- The bypass will result in the destruction of our family property, which has already been devalued by your actions. The sacrifice of most of all of the 80 acres of our family farm will result in the loss of our vacation retreat, which his shared by my mother and my nine brothers and sisters and our twelve children. Our pristine valley will have to be filled and most of our trees cut down to create a four lane concrete ribbon surrounded by a wide expanse of drainage ditches. Our spring fed pond will be gone. Beyond our own loss, the proposed bypass will also result in the destruction of the habitat of the forest wildlife preserve surrounding the fire tower. It is unforgivable for the town council to destroy over four miles of private property when there is ample room to widen the existing route. As weekend residents, we were not allowed to vote in the recent election, but we did support your opponent Brenda Myers, who will also lose her farm. This letter represents the vote of the twenty -three members of our family against the by -pass. `. 25.

We moved here 16 years ago because this town was so unique, friendly, fun, and of course beautiful.

Sue Pederson — 3823 County Road 17, Pequot Lakes, MN I'm against any 4 -lane Highway going through the town of Pequot. Thanks. 27. Sarahann Olson — 30966 Old Highway 371, Pequot Lakes, MN What a disaster if the highway comes thru town — can only imagine what a disjointed mess it would be. Definitely not a special place to visit. 28. Wayne Olson — 30966 Old Highway 371, Pequot Lakes, MN I think it would be a disaster to let Highway 371 go through Pequot Lakes. In all aspects, I am 81 years old and I love Pequot just the way it is, don't tear it all up. 29.
