.1 . ( y THE JOHNSTON COMPANY Hay 1» 1979 To the Hembers of the Orono Planning Coinnission and the Orono Counci I #457 RE: SUBDIVISION/VARlAHCE REQUEST BXKRlSOW R. JOHNSTON. JR.. 925 WILLOW DRIVE Dear Members: I would like very much to bring the above to a workable conclusion as soon as possible so that I am In a position to: I) offer our present home for sale an^’ 2) build a neW( smaller home on part of our property. I fully understand your Interest in seeing that my present plans and any future plans for our property (and/or the llendel property to our West) comply as sensibly as possible with Orono's building and subdivision requirements. Over the past several months, we have had the necessary surveys, soil tests, perk tests, etc., performed and everything is In order. I have talked with the Corwins and Bormans (and they, in turn, with Mrs. Hendel) and they have agreed to abandon the present easement to the Hendel property jn exchange for a new easement which uses our present road and its extension to reach the property on wliich wo plan to build. Here's what I hope yoii will approve right away: 1^ property may be subdivided iiilu lv<o or more lots subject to positive septic, soil and perk tests and the two "hard acre" building restrictions. 2. The present road and its extension to the west edge of Johnston's property may be used to serve the home(s) built on the Johnston property. 3, The present road and its extension to the Hendel property shall be within the borderp of a 30 foot Out lot granted by Johnston. h, A variance shall be granted Johnston near the wetlands north and west of Johnston's bprn in order to be able to extend the present road to the west edge of Johnston s property. 5, As long as three or fewer homes occupy the present Johnston property, a temporary or permanent cuWde-sac need not be constructed. Approval of'the above will enable us to go ahead with the plans we've been working on for several months. I
