Mr. John Gerhardson <br />May 13, 1988 <br />Page Two <br />As the City was uninterested in changing the road, we <br />then dise,lssed proceeding with a joint project, with the <br />affected property owners paying the portion of the repairs <br />for their property and the City paying for the portion for <br />the road, to solve the immediate problem. No activity or <br />prod•-ess ha■ been made by the City in that direction whatso- <br />ever :t has been nine months since the storm and it is <br />app that the City intends to take no action to correct <br />the ems. <br />uu r now apparently the City's position that the <br />affect.;: property owners should commence repairs on their <br />own. 1i necessary I intend to undertake such repairs, but <br />do not intend to do so in a fashion that will provide support <br />for the city street. Any work done by the City thereafter, <br />which affects the work that I perform, will be viewed as the <br />destruction of private property. I have contacted the DNA <br />and Watershed District and will obtain whatever permits are <br />necessary to fix our shore front. <br />Since last August, the residents of Crystal Bay Road <br />have expressed a willingness and desire to work with the <br />City to solve what appeared to be a common problem. In <br />response the City has done nothing. The damage to Crystal <br />Bay Road has exposed the gas main and has created what I <br />consider to be a dangerous situation. The barricades erected <br />by the City are also an eyesore and interfere with our use <br />and enjoyment of the lake. <br />Due to the lack of cooperation on the part of the City <br />we may lose the opportunity to arrive at a long-term, <br />mutually satisfactory solution to this problem. The city <br />of Orono should be concerned with the public good and I <br />urge the City to reevaluate its position on this matter. <br />Very truly yours, <br />Timothy R. Schupp <br />cc: Orono City council <br />Mayor James Grabsk <br />
