Stephen Weekman On-Site Systems Manager P.O. Box 66 Crystal Bay. MN 55323-0066 Dear Steve: Thank you for your letter of December 10. Enclosed is a formal request to vacate property behind the Robb cabin ana on the lake s=Je of the Fieger cabin in order to make a drain field acceptable to the city of Oron j and in compliance with the DNR requirements for the three cabins. The adjacent cabins to the west have a combined system. After assessment, having S and P review and evaluate the existing properties, this was the only feasible system that could be placed in the area. There was not acceptable space for a mound-tyoe system. The only other alternatives that could be discussed were holding tanks that could be emptied every year or two. This system was not felt to be acceptable because of yoi r fear that the tanks would not be emptied as frequently as may be necessary. The owners of the tnree cabins have agreed in writing to build such a project. The expense of the construction and materials will be psrd by Mr. Fieger and myself, and Mr. Robb’s contribution will be the p.operty. We therefore request that the property currently unused and never having been used by any of the owners and unlikely to be used by anyone ever in the future, be vacated and designated to be part of the Robb or Fieger property depending on the desires of the plann ng commission of Orono. I also request vacation of the property behind my cabin. This would allow me to continue to clean and remove the waste that has beer deposited there over the past 50 years, prior to my owning the present property. Additionally, if owned by an individual, it is less likely that others would use this property as a place to dispose of containers, bottles, etc., that should be transported to the mainland. In reference to your issues regarding a road, there a^e currently no usuable or functional roads on Big Island and as to my knowledge, there sre no plans for ever developing such roads in the future. There are above-ground el metric lines, but below-ground telephone lines. There is not now, nor will there ever be traffic on Big Island. The Island Is posted in numerous places with signs stating no motorized vehicles permitted on Big Island. To me, motorized vehicles include both recreational vehicles, cars, and/or trucks. I am certain that this is the desire of the residents in the area and of the city. It is also unlikely that anyone will be transporting such a vehicle to the island for any functional use as a car on Big Island would have no function and could be gotten there only during certain months of the winter (January, February) when the lake is frozen and
