From:vita.birilova@gmail.com To:Melanie Curtis Subject:LA22-000055 / 1003 Wildhurst Date:Monday, November 21, 2022 2:13:24 PM > Hi Melanie, > > My name is Violetta Korabel. I'm the owner of the property at 1035 Wildhurst Trail. Unfortunately, I'm currently out of town and have not had enough time to review the proposal being discussed at the meeting today and also will not be back in time to attend the meeting. Based on my initial review, I am against granting the proposal to vacate the property/right of ways owned by the city and grant the request that was proposed by the new owner of 1003 Wildhurst Trail. One of the requirements stated in the city code is a need to realize benefit to the public for granting these types of requests. I don't see any benefit to the public or to the city of Orono as a result of granting the proposed request to vacate the right of ways. Also, I was not aware that the city owns a right of way that goes from the park on top of the hill down to the street/lake. I have seen people and bikers on many occasions coming down the hill from the park across my property/my backyard. I've had damage to my lawn and various plants from the bike tires. Vacating the right of way that goes from the park down to Wildhurst will further exacerbate this problem and will become a bigger nuisance and trespassing problem impacting me and my property. I am strongly against vacating the right of way and I would also like to request that the city install signs and clearly mark the city owned path/right of way that leads from the park down to Wildhurst Trail. Marking the path will reduce/eliminate trespassing by people coming down from the park and will allow the public better/clearer access to use the park. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns related to my comments. > > Thank you for your time and consideration. > > Violetta Korabel > 612-805-6801 > > Sent from my iPhone
