To: Tlie Webber Hills Septic System/Municipal Sewer Committee From; Frank and Jomifer Larson 2160 Shevlin DR We strongly support municipal sewer for Webber Hills, however we do object to the location of the main sewer line as it runs from the east portion of Webber Hills Road and connects to Shevlin Drive. This line (as the attached map indicates) would nm through the middle of our back yard then along our property line on south side to connect to Shevlin Drive. This locatimi is unacceptable for the following reason: 1. We probably would lose the majority of our trees on the east side of our property. 2. We would lose the majority of our trees on the south side of our property. 3. To connect to sewer we would have to dig up our front yanl on the west side. We would be the only home in Webber Hills to incur this type of damage. As we see it this sewer project would destroy our property and our property value. What we would prefer is if tlie sewer line did not run through our property at all. What we would accept, is if the sewer line ran along our north property line. The damage to trees would be less and the damage to our property would be less. I did call Mike Graffron at the city of Orono on 9/18/95 and he indicated the sewer line was only preliminary and other options did exist. 1 inquired about the line running along side our north property line and he believed that was an option. We also called Tom McCune, who lives to the north of us, and Tom indicated he would not object to the sewer line running between our homes. We expect every effort would be made to save the three evergreen trees on the north west portion of our property. We believe strongly that municipal sewer is in the best interest of Webber Hills, in the best interest of Orono, and in the best interest of our environment.
