Robert Seliski - August 2. 1990 Page 2 � lot line to th did n tfadhere�closely to that plan�Uorathat they fact that they did not actually know where the lot line was. Possible options for you to consider should you wish to pursue this issue might include the following: i. Proceed with a lot Iine rearrangement between your property and that to the sovth , to move the lot line to a location meeting a minimum 10' setback from the toe of the mound. This would require a subdivision application with the City of Orono. The City' s primary concern would be to ensure that both lots end up with a minimum of 2 acres in area. 2. Pursue the idea of having American Sewer & Water remove the portions of mound that do not meet the required setback. This like 1}- wou ld resv lt in the need to extend the mound southward. itowever. , my personal opinion is that as long as that system is working, all parties invol ved would be better off to lea��e it alone as is , and not risk the potential of damaging it while attempting to extend it. 3. You cculd consider granting an easement to the neighbor f or some c�nsideration. A. You could ignore the situation, given that the setback question is arguable and most of your options will result in some expense on your part to pursue them. Or.e issue you hrought up was the idea of sl�ghtly regrading within your property boundaries to bring the area of the mound encroachment back to conformity with the rest of your property. I suppose there is a slight p��ssibility that by removing the topsoi 1 down to the sand base that there cou ld be some seepage onto your property, however. I think this possibility fs minimal. You would have to consult an attorney to determine whethez you would be liable for any damages you could cause to the neiqhbors system within your property boundaries .
