-TjmyPvsyarT- <br />c <br />S60 Big Island History <br />The property was originally purchased by my father, Henry G. Henderson, on July <br />24,1957, on a contract for deed from the Olds & Barnes families. The sale also included <br />a lot on West Point. Henry was the person who made decisions on the purchases and <br />sales of properties. On May 6,1979, the lot and the island property were sold to Broco, <br />a general partnership, on a Contract for Deed. On Februaiy' 24,1981, Broco sold to <br />James & Norma Blomberg. The City of Orono declared a moratorium on any building on <br />Big Island on November 9,1981. The Blombergs could not build on the island and <br />signed a Quit Claim Deed returning the Big Island property to Henry G. Henderson on <br />September 27,1982. <br />The City of Orono Changes Lot Size to 5 Acres. <br />On December 30,1982, the City of Orono passed Ordinance #246. A letter was sent to <br />the Blombergs by the City of Orono on February 15, 1983 stating that they were <br />grandfathered in for building on a lot that was less than 5 acres. Blomberg received the <br />letter too late to build and never contacted Henderson. <br />On September 8,1983, Henry G. Henderson and Ruth A. Henderson in planning their <br />estate signed a quit claim deed to their children, Don Henderson, James Henderson and <br />Sharon Sclabassi. <br />On March 10,1986, the City of Orono sent a letter to Don Henderson informing him that <br />his property was grandfathered in to build on a property less than 5 acres but he had to fill <br />out a form and return it to the city. Don Henderson never saw the letter but 18 years later <br />found it in an old file on the property. <br />j
