G er 4 Statement of White Oak Circle Homeowners to Orono Planning Commission - 17 September 1984 Re: White Oaks Overlook, proposed subdivision for George C. Funk and Judith A. Rogosheske of Tracts B and C, Registered Land Survey No. 1340 and Lot 19, Auditors Subdivision No. 229. The undersigned residents of White Oak Circle have certain concerns regarding the proposed development of additional building sites on White Oak Circle. Water Drainage Regrading of the proposed property may affect water drainage. A serious problem already exists in the rear of the Dougan and Marier properties on the south side of White Oak Circle.

Also, we request that an inspection of the water flow in the proposed development be made after constructs -ni of homes by a professional engineer.

Parking of Contractors' Vehicl,_s During the construction stages of the three buildings, we expect that there will be nearly continuous parking over extended time perinds by contractors' vehicles at the south end of White Oak Circle. These vehicles will represent a hazardous nuisance. We request that the commission require that contractors' vehicles he
