I'll take on the issues you mention are between the property owners. Violations are key to maintaining Orono's rules and regulations. If regulations are not adhered to, we forfeit the ability to hold anyone to them. The retaining wall was built after occupancy as were the placement of additional trees, hedge, fence, gutters, pavers, etc. Negotiating a "hard cover in exchange for an easement for sewer lines" shows he was aware he was not in compliance and had ignored the City restrictions. There is a sewer line in place already and has been since before 1972. The City has an obligation to uphold our rules and regulations. Without it we have an ungovernable charter. A suet does cost time and money, for the city as him. Does the city have something stronger than notifying the realtor of the violations? Can the City place a restriction on the closing that specifies these violations need to be attended to and resolved to the City's rules and regulations before closing? "Cloud on the title"?
