The <br /> footprint of the North-East corner(lake side and toward us)will be basically in the same <br /> position as t�eir current office and bedroom structure. Therefore,it will be across from our <br /> raspberry a�xl blackberry patch,which is lake-side to our garden shed. <br /> With their planned setback,ivlike and Caro�'s home will actually be fiuther away from us, <br /> about 12 feet from our berry patch,instead of the 8-foot-setback of their current structure, <br /> Mike and Caro1 designed their home to be L-shaped, like our home. The garage sticks out <br /> toward the West on the North side vf th�e house. We did the sazne thing. This iayout <br /> creates privacY between us and our neighbors to the North. With the proposed design,there <br /> will be incrcased privacy for us,as well as Mike Sc:arcl. We view this as a positive <br /> situation. Currently,Mike and Caro1 can watch our family room TV from inside of their <br /> existing home,which is nat something either of us enjoy. <br /> At this time, we have a fence between us. ance construction is done and we see how it <br /> fe:els,we may decide that we want to remove our fence. VJe feal this is a decision f�r after <br /> the completi�n of the projec�t. <br /> We have zeviewed Mike and earc�l's plans. They marked it off on the�r lo#. VJe have seen <br /> the site plan,which includes landmarks of ow shed,sad the coraer af our house. We <br /> believe we have a gaod sense of what will change,and how it will affect us. <br /> We suppart their decision on home design and placement. We look forward to the privacy <br /> it will afford us. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Michael Adair <br /> �r��� � <br /> Jeannine Adau ������i'�� <br /> i` <br /> ! ._� ,..�.?�' Y'. +��.\Lti..� ����_�+iJV�..� ��L V L L l,�U <br /> CITY OF ORONO <br />
