DRAFT Attachment to �davit of City of Orono, June 29,2015 The commercial building at 3380-3382-3384-3386 Shoreline Drive in the Navarre district of Orono was constructed in 1937 based on CounTy records. The building is 100 feet in width and 50 feet deep based on surveys on file at the City offices. I have reviewed City building permits and other City records for this site. The building in the past was divided into as many as 4 separate spaces, as follows, from east to west: 3380 Shoreline Drive- East 40 feet(40' wide x 50' deep) As of 1965 this space was a clothing Store(Charlotte's)per 1965 Navarre Tornado photo; in 1969 the space was converted to a restaurant use (first the Unicorn,then Jimmie's, finally the Narrows) and has been operated as a restaurant ever since. 3382 Shoreline Drive- Central 20 feet(20' wide x 50' deep plus 13'x20' restroom annex added later)per 1965 tornado photo and City building permit records was operated as a meat market facility known as Axel & Bob's until ca. 1987 at which time that business was discontinued. Some time after 1987 the restaurant use at 3380 Shoreline expanded into this space. 3384 Shoreline Drive - West/central 20 feet(20' wide x 50' deep)per 1965 tornado photo was a furniture and gift store (Braun's), then in 1967 was remodeled to become a beauty salon(Building Permit No. 1874). Based on�davits of others, the space was operated as a beauty salon, first as the Magic Mirror Beauty Salon,then Jul Ann's Hair Fashion, from 1967 until approximately 2005. 3386 Shoreline Drive- West 20 feet(20' wide x 50' deep)per 1965 tornado photo was a dry cleaning establishment known as "Magic Cleaners". Based on City records and affidavits of others,the space was operated as a dry cleaning business until at least 1997 and perhaps as late as 2004, with retail space on main floor and dry cleaning facilities in the basement. Attached with this affidavit are affidavits of persons familiar with the history of the uses within this building. The spaces for which Grandparent Demand is requested are the westerly two spaces, 3384 and 3386 Shoreline Drive. Unfortunately,the City does not have records of water use for these spaces in this building relative to the period 1968-1978. We do have a water meter reading record for the space at 3382 for the period 1973-1978 (attached)but it is believed this pertains to the entire building,not just the Axel &Bob's meat market operation. That document suggests quarterly water use of 350,000-450,000 gallons.
