f- Statement of White Oak Circle Homeowners Orono Planning Commission “ 17 September 19&^ Re: White Oaks Overlook, proposed subdivision for George C. Funk and Judith A. Rogosheske of Tracts E and C, Registered Land Survey No. 13^0 and Lot 19, Auditors Subdivision No. 2?9- The undersigned residents of White Oak Circle have certain concerns regarding the proposed development of additional building sites on White Oak Circle. 1. Water Drainage Regrading of the proposed property may affect water drainage. A serious problem already exists in the rear of the Dougan and Marler properties on the south side of White Oak Circle. At the tine of the spring snow melt and after heavy rains, water crosses underneath Old Crystal Bay Road to the rear of the Dougan property, ponds there over approximately a one acre area and flows across the Marler property to the marsh south of the Marler property. Currently, the surface flow comes near to both the Dougan and Marler septic system dralnflelds. The situation became so bad in May of 198^ that the water table rose above the level of the Marler drainfield. During an attempted pumpout of the drainfield, water was actually observed flowing from the drainfield into the Marler distribution box. Accordingly, we are very concerned that any changes to the land which m.ay accompany construction may adversely affect water flow by restricting drainage. We request that the Planning Commission not permit any changes tc the water flow because of the proposed development. Also, we request that an inspection of the water flow in the proposed development be made after construction of homes by a professional engineer. We propose tliat if, in his opinion, any Impediments to the water flow were created as a result of the development, they be corrected before occupancy permits are Issued for each house. The then-current occupants of the Marler and Dougan houses will hire the engineer and pay his fees. 2. Parking of Contractors* Vehicles During the construction stages of the three buildings, we expect that there will be nearly continuous parking over extended time periods by contractors' vehicles at the south end of White Oak Circle. These vehicles will represent a ha?;ardous nuisance. We request that the commission require that contractors' vehicles be
