unia 1 • • <br />■1 <br />I <br />1 ■?mw <br />#54 OO <br />March 26, 1980 <br />To the City of Orono <br />Re: Hard Cover Variance <br />I have asked Roger Freeberg to represent me at this hearing. I am <br />unable to attend because of a previous committment to speak to the <br />students and faculty of Wright State University Medical School in <br />Dayton, Ohio. Because of escalating interest rates we did not want <br />to delay this hearing. <br />When we purchased this property 20 years ago it was not in violation <br />of any codes — we inherited the development that is now in <br />violation of the code. We are in agreement with the codes and <br />would like to improve both the property and our compliance with the <br />code. Below are some considerations: <br />1. We agree to the intent of the hard cover code. <br />2. We are willing to give up every possible bit of hard cover — <br />namely the asphalt drive turn around. This is approximately <br />a 6:1 exchange. <br />3. The remaining drive up the steep slope is necessary for access <br />to the property. The parking area remaining is the minimum <br />necessary. <br />4. We cannot eliminate the rental units as they are a necessary part <br />of the economics. Without them the project would not be possible. <br />5. The plan presented is a substantial improvement on the current <br />situation. <br />Respectfully, <br />Milton H. Seifert, M.D.
