May 14, 1999 <br /> MAY 14 1999 <br /> City Manager <br /> City of Orono Q1 I'i Ur.;lir' v;�0 <br /> Dear Sir, <br /> Once again, I am writing you in regards to my city street, Vine <br /> Place. You may recall my letter from July 16, 1998 and my tele- <br /> phone calls around that time. I believe a problem still exists with <br /> the way the road was resurfaced. As I walk up and down my street <br /> I notice that all of my neighbors "above me", in both directions, <br /> have a curb. Not to mention, the road itself has a dip or channel <br /> down the middle and not the crown that your office says exists. <br /> This channel sends all of the water from the roadway toward my <br /> driveway and lot. I have photos from last year, and this year, of <br /> the rivers of water running down the street and across my yard. <br /> I have been forced to move all of my furniture and my office out of <br /> my lower level, "again" this year, due to water. I believe your road <br /> is turning my lakeshore lot into a very costly drainage ditch. The <br /> water is trying to established a memory or route to find its way to <br /> the lake and is damaging my home in the process. I am writing <br /> you today to request that you pay for the damage the street has <br /> caused to my home and family and also ask you to properly drain <br /> the street. <br /> I think back to when I first purchased my home an individual was <br /> suing me for $7,500 in both small claims court and then district <br /> court for a dock space for which he had no lease. It was truly <br /> ridiculous. I am sure you remember Mr. Appleman! <br />
