Mayor Wm. Brad Van Nest July 8, 1980 <br />Page 4 <br />1980, I was similarly informed that the Planning <br />Commission would be the proper form for a hear* <br />ing. I believe the Council was out of order in <br />permitting Mr. Swenson to present his arguments <br />on June 30 since this will unduly prejudice the <br />Council in favor of changes in Resolution 851, <br />whereas I did not have proper opportunity to <br />prepare the many arguments which indicate a <br />change in‘the resolution should not be made. <br />The City Council seems to have forgotten the terms <br />of Resolution 851 including one which specifies <br />1 j <br />that the variances contained in the resolution <br />would have been denied if Mr. Rhode hadn't agreed <br />in writing to the provisions of Resolution sSl. <br />I refer you to Section II, Paragraph 4, which <br />states that the City Council ’’hereby finds that <br />the variance shall be denied and will be son- <br />sidered to be invalid unless the above items <br />are completed to the satisfaction of the City <br />prior to the granting of a building permit, and <br />these variances would have been denied except <br />for Mr. Rhode's agreeing in writing to the pro­ <br />visions of this resolution." Now that Mr. Rhode <br />is unwilling to abide by the conditions of the <br />resolution, why is the City Council changing its <br />point of view on this matter? <br />5) The question of the legality of the easements <br />has been challenged by Mr. Rhode and is before <br />the Supreme Court. <br />In view of the fact that the City held in Reso­ <br />lution 851 that the existing easements are "in- <br />yalid" and are a subdivision of 1410 Bohns PoTnt <br />koad, why wouldn't the Council wait for a final <br />decision on this matter as rendered by the Supreme <br />Court? <br />6) The City of Orono is unilaterally breaking a <br />contract that exists between me and the City <br />of Orono.
