Even though it is <br />clearly marked with "Private Road" signs it is frequently used as <br />a short cut for local and non local traffic. <br />In the winter, Deborah Drive becomes a "freeway" for <br />snowmobilers to and from the Luce Line Trail. <br />The Hound school buses frequently use Deborah Drive, as do <br />others, to avoid the dangerous intersection at County Road 6 and <br />Watertown Road. <br />One resident has had his fence driven through three times <br />with the most recent incident resulting in a DWI arrest and three <br />people hospitalized. This occurred at the exact location the <br />resident's children wait for the bus. <br />In conjunction with creating a cul-de-sac which would <br />include a bus turn-around, our desire is to blacktop Deborah <br />Drive to Orono's specifications, at our expense. <br />It is obvious to us, with the already reckless ed^andon this <br />road experiences, the blacktopping would make the situation a <br />potentially lethal one without the creation of a cul-de-sac. <br />Once blacktopped, the safety of our children running or biking <br />would be in further jeopardy, due to poor visibility at the <br />curvature and a probable increase in already irresponsible <br />speeding. <br />This is not a petition to make Deborah Drive a public road <br />maintained by the City of Orono, only to improve it in a manner <br />consistent with the quality of Orono's standards insuring the <br />safety of the development's residents. However, if our variance <br />is denied, we would ask that Orono consider making the road <br />public, since much of its use appears to be that now, and be <br />responsible for its maintenance and safety. <br />Mmm <br />:• r <br />■: ■.■. f V'’:nm:L U' <br />'/r.m Hi <br />% <br />%W:^mMimmmm <br />L./-. <br />•«•' '' <br />mm <br />mmm. <br />• ,V‘ r '
