Dear Mr. McNally,
I must say that when I received your recent letter regarding BETTERPLACE-
SCANDIA, my curiosity was running at full throttle. All sorts of thoughts scrolled through my
mind. I avoided reading it for a bit, and then finally sat down and read it carefully. I could not be
more thrilled that the incredible wood that is immediately behind my backyard is going to
remain the beautiful place that it is. I think your concept is absolutely brilliant. My 15 acres of
mixed hardwoods, tamarack bogs and a small meadow that my son and I made out of the SE
corner (the local critters do love a nice meadow), abuts your proposed property on its west
side, about midway north -to -south. 1 have worked hard over the years to be a good steward to
all the plants and creatures on my little piece of what I think of as paradise. I have been holding
my breath waiting for bulldozers to start punching roads into the parcel, followed by the non-
stop noise of mega -mansions going up. Please count me as an ally neighbor. If that opinion is
of any value at your Conditional Use Permit hearing, 6/2/20, feel free to share this letter.
On a personal note, I am at a point in my life where I'm mostly over the career I had
in the truck body world (35+ years). Social Security just doesn't quite reach to allow the things
that my partner and I like to do ..... so I need to be doing something to generate a bit of income.
If there is a Scandia staff position that I might be a candidate for, kindly consider my hat
thrown into the ring.
Sincerely,
Robert K. Foster
