/ RE; Subdivision of Petermann Fann. July 17, 1986 s Dear City of Orono Council Members; ^ wife, our 5 week premature baby and our other two children are living in the basement of my parents house because we were un able to move into our new home as scheduled...can you please help! In April of this year I signed a purchase agreement to purchase the house at 160 Old Crystal Bay Rd. in Orono. At that time my under standing was that all the requirments for the successful subdivision of the Petermann Farm were being meet. It was also my understanding that the city had said there would be no problems with the subdividing plans as proposed. After looking at all of this and scheduling a closing date of July 1, I proceeded to put my present home on the market for sale. I sold my house and we scheduled a move-in date on my house of July 1st also which was the time the people buying my house had to be out of there home, ^erything was done that was required to make this a smooth transition for all parties involved. Due to swe very shocking and unforwamed decision, or lack of a decision, by the City of Orono, my family ended up on July 1st without a place to live for a month or longer. As you can probably imagine it is not the most comfortable thing for my wife who just had a C-section and had her leart set on bringing our last child home from the hospital to his own nursery, and our children to live out of a suitcase for a month or mere. There has been alot of undue emotional and physical strain on alot of people th^ all of this, like what do you tell a 3 year old when he keeps asking to go home, and the thing is,this should never have happened. The purpose of this letter is to make you aware that there are some real people*, effected by your decisions and if you could please take this into consideration and make a quick and understanding decision so we may be able to go on with our lives as planned. Thank vou very much. David W. Will
