Gary & Sandra Welsh <br /> March 11, 1998 <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> The City's Draft Storm Water Management Plan has been discussed by the Council only in a <br /> preliminary manner. More discussion on this plan by the Council will occur before any formal <br /> approvals of this plan are granted. The approval process will involve a public input process <br /> to solicit citizen comments on the Storm Water Management Plan. <br /> At this time, the position of the City is that eliminating or changing the conceptual locations <br /> of any ponds or other storm sewer facilities is premature. Responding to individual requests <br /> for changes could undermine and invalidate the entire planning process for possible storm water <br /> system improvements. Final decisions on the actual locations of storm water facilities cannot <br /> be made in a fair and objective manner until feasibility studies and designs have been <br /> completed for individual projects. <br /> Regarding possible diminished property values, planning activities undertaken by any level of <br /> government may affect property values. This includes other projects currently in the planning <br /> stages such as the proposed new Highway 12 relocation and several sanitary sewer projects. <br /> Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Please contact us should you have any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Gregory A. Gappa <br /> Director of Public Services <br /> GAG/j lg <br /> cc: Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br /> Mike Gaffron, Senior Planning Coordinator <br /> Mayor Gabriel Jabbour and Orono City Council Members <br />
