This letter is more to give you my understanding of the chronology of this so that we are in <br /> agreement on this. My boathouse deck was replaced in April of 2001. I did the wark myself. Cost and materials <br /> was approximately$900. I replaced the deck because it was rotting and I believed it to be a danger. The <br /> dimensions to the deck were not changed when I replaced it. The deck does have a railing that meets code. I <br /> failed to get a permit to replace the existing deck because quite frankly I did not think I needed to get a permit to <br /> replace an existing structure that did not change the dimensions. However, because of an inspection by someone <br /> in Orono they decided that I needed a permit to do this. In fact I did place an application for a retroactive perrnit in <br /> July of 2001. With this I sent a check, which was twice the cost because it was a retroactive permit. I also <br /> provided documents, sketches and photograph of the pre-existing deck. I did not hear anything about this until <br /> your letter of October 17, 2002. <br /> So, in summary, approximately 15 months went between my application for a retroactive permit with check <br /> included and this letter that I received from you on October 17. I know you are very busy with all the construction <br /> going on and that you are overworked with all the issues under your jurisdiction. I do not have to walk very far <br /> from my house to look at houses that are blotting out the sun that have been recently remodeled, so, my question <br /> would be, what happened? Again, my position in this matter is that I replaced a pre-existing deck with dimensions <br /> ai t'r�e pre-existing ailner�sions and iiie ueck was replaced because it was structurally unsouna. i dici th�work <br /> myself and the cost of material was $900. This has now taken 15 months to resolve for actually no change in my <br /> property. I would like this resolved at the soonest possible time. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ��_..t���fz� <br /> S.
