In 2004 the property owner received approvals from the City of Orono in <br />order to redevelop the property. During a site inspection for a Certificate of Occupancy <br />the Building Inspector, Bruce Vang and Planning Director, Mike Gaffron noted that a <br />new fence had been constructed which exceeded the City's height standards. As the <br />property owner would like the City to consider letting the fence remain as constructed he <br />has applied for an after-the-fact variance in order to do so.
