C7 RE: Subdivision of Petermann Fans. July 17, 1986 Dear City of Orono Council Members; My wife, our S week premature baby and our other two children are living in the basement of my parents house because we were un- able to move into our new home as scheduled... can you please help! In April of this year I signed a purchase agreement to purchase the house at 160 Old Crystal Bay Rd. in Orono. At that time my under- standing was that all the requinnents for the successful subdivision of the Petermann Faun were being meet. it was also my understanding that the city had said there would be no problems with the subdividing plans as proposed. After looking at all of this and scheduling a closing date of July 1, I proceeded to put my present 1,.,,;,e on the market for sale. I sold my house and we scheduled a move -in date on my house of July 1st also which was the time the people buying my house had to be out of there home. Everything was done that was required to make this a smooth transition for all parties involved. Due to some very shocking and unforwarned decision, or lack of a decision, by the City of Orono, my family ended up on July 1st without a place to live for a month or longer. As you can probably imagine it is not the most comfortable thing for my wife who just had a C-section and had her heart set on bringing our last child home from the hospital to his own nursery, and our children to live out of a suitcase for a month or more. There has been alot of undue emotional and physical strain on alot of people thru all of this, like what do ,ou tell a 3 year old when he keeps asking to go home, and the thing is,this should never have happened. The purpose of this letter is to make you aware ``,at there are some real people effected by your decisions and if you could please take this into consideration and make a .,jick and understanding decision so we may be able to go on with our lives as plannel. Thank very much, __ David W. Will
