Figge, 2004 Sugarwoods Drive <br /> Lot 2 , Block l, Sugarwoods <br /> Dear Jean: ,g,��� <br /> On June 2 , 1993 you and �� Vang met with Larry Kramer, his <br /> employee Wayne and myself concerning three issues about the Figge <br /> residence in Sugarwoods. This letter will constitute the Figge' s <br /> application to Orono for permission for two items with regard to <br /> their new house. The three items relate to a sidewalk from the <br /> front door to Sugarwoods Drive, the driveway itself from the <br /> garage area to Sugarwoods Drive and a drainage area immediately <br /> north of the patio at the rear of the house. We understand this <br /> matter will be heard by the planning commission at its meeting on <br /> June 21, 1993 . <br /> Driveway issue. Orono's position on the driveway through <br /> the 50-foot building setback area to the street is that the paved <br /> surface of the driveway must be perfectly straight. The Figge's <br /> propose that the preferred and reasonable interpretation of the <br /> rule is tha� the 12 fGGt wide paved driveway surface may curve <br /> within the 20-foot wide permitted zone for a driveway, but that <br /> the 20-foot driveway zone itself must be straight from the street <br /> through the 50-foot restricted zone. <br /> Alternatively, if a variance is needed, the Figge' s believe <br /> the driveway will be more aesthetically pleasing both to their <br /> house, to the development and to the public if 12 foot surface <br /> can be curved. The slight curve will enable them to better <br /> landscape their property to insure privacy for their property and <br /> to add additional landscaping to the Sugarwoods. It also aids in <br /> preservation of existing trees. <br /> Sidewalk issue. While originally the declaration permitted <br /> curved, half-moon driveways with two curb cuts, Orono Resolution <br /> No. 2652 reduced the number of curb cuts to one curb cut and one <br />
