Renckens Class III Preliminary Plat Subdivision Application Zoning File No. 2466 Dear Mr. Moorse: On April 12, 1999, the Orono City Council recommended approval of the preliminary plat proposed by my wife and me with respect to the property at 3020 Watertown Road. The Council's approval, however, was made subject to the condition that an Outlot be platted along the northerly boundary of our property. After much reevaluation, we have determined that such condition presents overwhelming problems for us. We respectfully request, therefore, that the Council's hearing on our application for preliminary subdivision be reopened. Our request is made due to the foregoing reason, because certain material information presented at the April 12t`meeting was factually incorrect, and because the full City Council did not have the opportunity to hear the matter. We also have new information to present to the Council that may be helpful in its deliberations. Further, I can confirm that we are now the fee owners of the property having closed on the purchase from the Stubbs family as we committed. We request that this matter be addressed by the City Council at its meeting on Monday, May 10, 1999. In so doing, we understand that at least one member of the Council who voted on this matter the evening of April 12'h must move to reopen the hearing. Therefore, we will contact Council members Kelly, Flint and Sansevere in advance of that date to discuss our request. Thank you for placing this item on the Council agenda for further consideration. Sincerely, Jim and Debra Renckens JRR/ldd
