LINDQUIST & VENNUM Mr. Michael P, Gaffron July 17, 1987 Page Two 1987, I previously forwarded a copy of Mr. Wenck's letter to Michael Gaffron, Assistant Planning and Zoning Admini strator for the City of Orono. As you can see from Mr. Wenck's letter, it is not advisable to build the structure to the south or to the west of its proposed location. As you can see, the cost of curing soil conditions to move the garage would be in the approximate range of $1,500 to $2,000. Due to this hardship, Mr. Hanson re-requests that the City Planning Commission grant his variance for the placement of the garage. I believe the enclosed letter from Mr. Wenck should satisfy the City's concerns with regard to the soil conditions relative to the garage placement. Additionally, the Hansons claim a hardship due to the sharp angle of the driveway which would be required if the garage were relocated to the south or the west of its proposed loca tion. The Hansons are elderly individuals who would have difficulty maneuvering their car in and out of the garage if the turning radius for the driveway were any tighter than presently proposed. With regard to the boundary line dispute, Mrs. Golden and the Hansons have agreed to resolve their dispute with regard to the boundary line by creating a new boundary line, which boundary line falls directly in the middle of the previously disputed area. At my request, the surveying firm of McCombs- Knutson Associates, Inc. prepared a survey and legal descrip tion showing the new boundary line. Dan Bergeron, a real estate agent who is assisting Mrs. Golden in this matter, has informed me that Mrs. Golden is agreeable to the new boundary line. I am preparing Quit Claim Deeds for the Hansons and Mrs. Golden to formally relinquish their respec tive rights to the property which falls beyond the new boundary line. I will continue to work with Mr. Bergeron to follow up on this matter. I will attempt to have the Deeds executed and recorded before August 17, 1987. Notwith standing the recording of the Deeds, it is my understanding that the dispute has been resolved and our remaining work is a matter of documentation of the settlement. I enclose a copy of the survey prepared by McCoinbs-Knutson which indicates the new boundary line, as well as the place ment of the proposed garage. As you can see from this survey, the garage will now be 4.6 feet from the boundary line. Due to Orono setback requirements, this distance is insuffi cient for Mr. and Mrs. Hanson to build their garage without
