Additional public comment RE: Item 5 From: Bonnie Martinson LA22-000041 To: Melanie Curtis Subject: 3005 Casco Point Road Proposed property development Date: Saturday,August 13,2022 4:43:41 PM To:Melanie Curtis From: Bonnie Martinson Re: 3005 Casco Point Road Proposed property development Date:August 12,2022 Bonnie Martinson 2970 Casco Point Road Thank you Melanie for sharing the documents relative to the development on the property at 3005 Casco Point Road.Not being an architect the drawings are somewhat complicated for me but what I do want the planning commission to understand is my concern regarding any additional drainage from the 3005 property caused by new construction and lot configuration changes. Some Orono staff members are aware of the inadequacy of the city drain between houses 2970 and 2980. There is an easement for this drain going through our property into the lake.The poorly designed drain is not able to be cleaned out because the clean out drain is too far from the road for the equipment to reach it, therefore in the heavy rains,water overflows onto my property.New houses across the street have been constructed so that water now drains from their property and driveways across the street toward the city drain and since the drain cannot handle the water it overflows across my property. Any additional construction across the street will no doubt add to the problem as they reconfigure their lots to their desired height and add additional concrete driveways that will drain across the street to the city drain. I ask the planning commission to take into consideration these issues in their decisions regarding the development of these properties on the former Hartzell property. I will attach a few pictures of what happens during heavy rains.Fortunately the last two years we have had drought conditions and I have not floated away. I appreciate your attention to these concerns. Bonnie Martinson 2970 Casco Point Road
