The ►tonorable Mary Butler, Mayor aril Council Members fior the City of rrano March 7, 1983 Page Three Had the City known about the circumstances surroumling the property at the time of this sale to Dunn/Yogerst there would have been no question that the City would have required a five acre parcel. The only thing different is that Mr. Primus decided to ignore the law and sell off a one acre parcel. To require a flour acre Outlot would only be requiring Mr. Primus to Io what he was legally obligated to do when he sold the lot. Mr. Primus would like the Council to see him as a victim when in reality he is a predator. The City and the public are the victims of this previous unlawful division. Because Mr. Primus was able to avoid the application of the Zoning maws cn the previous sale he is now saying it would be unfair for the City to correct that mistake at this time when he is requesting the sub- division of the balance of the property. The question I ask is, "When will. the City ever have another opportunity to correct Mr. Primus' s fa i 1 ure to follow the law aryl to resore the situation to the status quo that should have been arhicved at the time of Mr. Primus's sale to Dunn/Yogerst? The City Council would he Rilfilling its mmylate to serve the public needs and to protect the public's health, welfare and safety by requiring a suf- ficient mrmmt of property to be set asi-ie as an Outlot to provide a suf- ficient amount of land area to inspire that the land area dedicated to these lots at least conform to the zoni nf- requirements. This would provide suf- ficient land for an -site disposal systems to operate properly and would eli- minate the need to install sanitary sewer lines anri would carry out the mandates of the Zoning Ordinance. If Mr. Primus had fulfilled his (-bl igat ion to the City of Ch ano on the ori- ginal sale to Dunn/Yogerst, he would have conveyed a five acre parcel. This means that the City of Orcax) shoul(i mpAre four acres as an Out lot in rm-ier to create an average of five acres. 'lh.is would treat Mr. Primus in the same fashion as any other Orono resident in the five acre land use zone. The City should require ►rw. Primus to set aside approximately ftxir ac-ros in an Out lost as a Lt yd i t. ion to the approval of the sulyd i v is ion . The City cr)uld rapuire the dedication of this O utl.ot al javent. to the two one -acre sites to allow for the potential of creating two. three -acre sites.
