legaliy binding before the rnost recent sale of that property and that sale price reflected that distinction from prior safe prices for that property. You also mentioned the option af issuing the homeowners in question a license to have the dock—but if that is not permanent—it really doesn't change the current difemma, And how wou(d that differ from the taxes we currently pay for use of the shore which we do not own7 We would hope that a resolution can be found that woufd resolve the issue for us but would not necessarily have to change the status of the defined neighborhood and they would,therefore,not need to sign off on the resolution. Is it possible to take a"quiet title actian"for a permanent easement for the three properties? If anyone does protest,it can then be explained that thls action is simply formalizing what has been practiced for many,many years and that it does not change their status.And we have to note here,once again,that the other homes off the lake in the defined neighborhood do not utilize the type of access that is possible for them (picnicking on the shore,launching a kayak or row boat,etc.) because such activities are more praceica[and enjoyable at take locations that have public facilities-but if they choose to do so—there is nothing preventing them and the docks do not in any way hinder this type of access. I think we all recognize that without some formafization of how things have been for some time--and in today's marketJeconomy,these houses could return to a"[akeshore slum"—the values woufd decrease as well as the tax revenues. Th3s formalization is logical and beneficial to all concerned—the city,the three homeQwners,and with no negative impact on the defined neighborhood. Again,we would like to sincerely thank you and the City of Orono for its efforts to resofve this issue.
