GRAYDaJ McCUaEY <br />980 Tonkawa Road <br />Long Lake, Ntl 5535o <br />July 18, 1993 <br />To tine Orono Planning Connission; <br />I have been asked by our new neighbors Bill and Lori Cornelius to <br />show some practical consideration for a situation regarding the turn­ <br />around driveway at their new home. <br />My wife and I, with our family, have lived at 980 Tonkawa Road for <br />over 36 years during the summer. I have noticed the existing turnaround <br />driveway on the old Ridler property, and know it has been used for many, <br />many years. It seems to me that if it has been there for all these years <br />it should stay where it is. <br />I am welcoming our new neighbors and learning of the frustration <br />ution willthey have had concerning the driveway. I hope a practical so <br />be forthcoming. <br />As I have been told, they have been asked to cut down six to eight <br />old trees and move the driveway over which may cause many 100-year-old <br />trees to die. If it is a question of run-off, then I believe the existing <br />trees are presently keeping the erosion and run-off to a minimum. By <br />ripping out hundred-year-old trees and disturbing other surrounding trees <br />and subsequently causing them to die is not a practical solution to the <br />problem. <br />I hope more common sense will prevail and let the driveway stay <br />where it has been probably for the last hundred years. <br />I appreciate your practical consideration given to this matter and <br />welcome our new neighbors Bill and Lori Cornelius. <br />Sincerely, <br />&4ydon McCulley KJ
