CITY OF ORONO page 2 March 17, 1989 <br />I went into the city offices the other day and looked at their <br />newest piuposal. One glance at it will quickly suggest all sorts <br />of unacceptable possibilities later, not the least of which would <br />be a request ro build a driveway up to the attached garage at some <br />point in the future. It's sort of like an accident waiting to <br />happen, because you know it will. <br />They had every opportunity to consider their options before they <br />ever started their remodeling project. If they didn't do a <br />thorough enough job of that back then, they have no one to blame <br />but themselves. But now to come back and ask for still more after <br />all you've already given them is not really playing within the <br />rules. Again, I encourage you to reject their request. <br />Finally, on the matter of safety, all of those detached garages out <br />by the road all along that stretch of Shadywood Road pose somewhat <br />of a visual safety hazard. Take it from one who lived with it for <br />the 16+ years I lived there. With all of those garages so close <br />to the road, it's a real son-of-a-gun to get good sight lines as <br />you attempt to enter the road from any driveway along that stretch, <br />but particularly where we are because of the way the road curves <br />in that area. And given the speeds at which cars zip along there <br />(speed limit notwithstanding^, the better sight lines provided by <br />the removal of the detached garages out by the road would be, at <br />least as I see it, very beneficial, safetywise. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jack F.
