r s ORONO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING HELD JULY 9, 1990 ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL- WOJCIK CONTINUED • It was moved by Mayor Grabek to approve the building permit for an addition to the Wojcik residence, provided that proper notification to future owners is filed in the chain of title at the expense of Mr. and Mrs. Wojcik.

That will allow us to proceed with the restoration as requested by the proprty owners such as Mr. Wear and Otten Brothers."
