Presentation to Orono City Council <br />Monday, October 27, 1986 <br />(1) Orono staff's policy requiring surveys is good in many cases, where there <br />is: <br />a) doubt as to location <br />b) a small or irregular lot <br />c) reason to suspect intent to defraud. <br />(2) None of these factors is present in this case. <br />(3) Statement of intent. <br />(4) Presentation of Neighbors' letters. <br />(5) Statement of case. <br />(6) Restatement of Staff's contention and reading of UBC §302(a)2. <br />"Every such application shall: <br />'Describe the land on which the proposed work is to be done by legal <br />description, street address or similar description that will readily <br />identify and definitely locate the proposed building or work.' " <br />(7) Rebuttal of staff reading of UBC §302(a)2. <br />..� The operative question is in fact: What is a "similar description"? <br />Is a survey a similar description, or is not far more rigorous description, <br />and is it not in fact more than the UBC actually requires? <br />The operative question is not, as Orono staff may have interpreted it, merely: <br />What is "definite location"? <br />(8) Response to staff contentions. <br />a) necessity of reasonable application of policy <br />b) lack of encroacnment <br />c) lack of economic benefit from survey <br />d) economic harm from requirement of survey <br />e) appeal for reasonable application of UBC §302(a)2 and of staff policy. <br />
