Regulations P - Application - Demolition Please review Mr* MacMillan's written comments (Exhibit B). His letter provides a complete background on the burn or demolition of the former residence. As required, the contractor obtained the burning permit from the Chief or the local fire department who in turn processed the permit and submit it to the P.C.A. As of the first of the year, the City of Orono no longer was permitted to issue burn permits for structures, as all such burning permits were to be processed through the local fire departments and the P.C.A. Prior to January 1991, the City's burning permits would reference the need for a demolition permit. Please note burning (review Exhibit F) is only one method of razing a structure. PI "S review Exhibit E, the P.C.A. regulations. Note that the ' tractor was to consider the burying of foundation and r ^ jrovements, that the original burning permit to the >. would have had to Include this as part of the permit cess. The P.C.A. regulations would then have required the riling of a covenant on the property defining the area where the debris was to be buried. The contractor did not include the required to bury the debris wiih.n the original permit to the P.C.A. To this date, Mr. MacMillan' - contractor has not obtained the necessary demolition permit. F ease note demolition permits are not just required by the buildin. code to assure that unsafe conditions or future building hazards cn the site are eliminated, but to provide a mean’ 'or the City to alert the Assessor of a change on a property so ‘ property tax records are maintained. The same demolition ’ lit would also be sent to a clerk who would update the sep«. records so that the annual septic fee would not be charged for a property that no lon^^^r sustains a principal residence.
