Libby stated in his view they face the � <br /> most dramatic changes that incoiporate the loss of a significaut amount of tree canopy. Some of ti�e trees �"a� <br /> are close to 100 years old and t�ze loss of those trees will be a dramatic change in how t�.e end of the cul- � <br /> d�sac appears and will iupnpact how the residents enjoy the neighborhood. <br /> Libby noted he was a pmfessional real estate broker for 30 years and that he dealt with numerous and <br /> similar projects and developments over those years. From a personal and professional opinion,Libby <br /> stated the potantial use of Heritage Lane and, in particular,the cul�e-sac extension as a primary <br /> construction traffic route is shocking,beyond poor judgment, and far in excess of the capacity of the <br /> axistin.g thoroughfare. Libby stated moving the prim�ary con,struction traffic route to the Jacobs' property <br /> is not only sensible as an aiternative but it is one that will be the least disruptive to the least amount of <br /> Orono residents. <br /> Libby stated he has a high amovnt of respect for t�e design arcb�itects on this project and that he has a <br /> high regard for Mr. Stedman's professiona.lism at►d�reputation,but they have raised an objection to ti�e use <br /> of the dacobs'property as an altemative route due to�e bluff topography of the Jacobs;pz�operty. Libby <br /> stated he has been involved with similar cha,llenges to developers who have designed and who were very <br /> successful at using switch back and temparary elevation alterations to allow the extremely heavy weight <br /> loads the lengths and widths of the excavation and delivery truck type materials to do the job of <br /> development and constrvction. <br /> Libby stabed in his view the human,safery element of heavy truck traffic an.d the risk haz�rds to loca]foot <br /> and driving traffic within a mature neighborhood setting should be self�vident Libby stated you can add <br /> to that the daily physical movement of materials,construction workers,the idling and parking and t�e <br /> waiting of vehicles that will not be able to maneuver in a bidirectional route on Heritage Lane due to the <br /> limited existing stx+eet width. Libby stated tbis intrusive, impractical and o�trageous inconvenience to the <br /> health and balance and synergy of tfieir neighborhood is terrible. The residents wili be exposed to diesel <br /> fuel exhaust,bralang n,oises,an�asphalt surface damage that are intrinsic to this type of development and <br /> d1e residerrts' heal.th and should always be avoided. <br /> Libby st�ted he is nearly 7�years old and his wife wil�be 7S in August. Like numerous long-term <br /> residents in this neighborhood, Libby stated�ey had planned to age in place. This project is really <br /> Page 49 of 65 <br />
