JOHNSTON; JR.. 925 WILLOW DRIVE, <br />Dear Members: <br />I would like very much to bring the above to a workable conclusion as soon as possible <br />so that I am In a position to: 1) offer our present home for sale and’ 2) build a <br />neW| smaller home on part of our property. <br />I fully understand your interest in seeing that my present plans and any future PlRR* <br />our property (and/or the llendel property to our West) coni|>ly as sensibly as possible with <br />Orono's building and subdivision requireiiients. <br />Over the past several months, we have had the necessary surveys, soil tests, tests, <br />etc., performed and everything is In order. I have talked with the Corv^nns and Bormans <br />(and they, in turn, with Mrs. Hendel) and they have agreed to abandon the present easement <br />to the Hendel property .in exchange for a new easement which uses our present road and <br />its extension to reach the property on vdiich wc plan to build. <br />Here's what I hope you will approve right away: <br />I. Johnston's property may be subdivided into two or more lols subject to positive <br />septic, soil and perk tests and the two "hard acre" building restrictions. <br />2. The present road and its extension to the west edge of Johnston's property may be <br />ysed to serve the honie(s) built on the Johnston pro|>erty. <br />3, The present road and its extension to the Hendel property shall be within the <br />border^ of a 30 foot Out lot granted by Jolinston. <br /><1, A variance shall be granted Johnston near the wetlands north and west of Johnston's <br />bprn in order to be able to extend the present road to the west edge of Johnston s <br />property. <br />5, As long as three or .fewer homes occupy the present Johnston pror>k;ft;, a temporary <br />or permanent cul*'de'sac need not be constructed. <br />Approval of'the above will enable us to go ahead with the plans wtr'»- ;--en working on for <br />several months. <br />li .!•»' Ii**“»'** . • .. . . . . .* *• * *• ••**♦*' <br />i
