when yo� incorrectly thought we were responsible_Al1 of that rr�ateria! is sti11 there today, ir�cluding multiple planted
<br /> trees,very obviously planted entirely in sarrouading artifcial fitt brought in to the site(which have n�t been there
<br /> very long). Who did that?. Was any variance or permit ever granted to do that? We found r�one i�the 905 property
<br /> files. I have examined them myself,more than once, including ali of the microfilm. There is no evidence of this issue
<br /> ever being addressed in any way.What is being clone about this?
<br /> In orcler to c�mpieEe any appiicaEion(if one is actualiy neec�ed}and address the City's concerns regarc#ing our
<br /> fence and gate plans,we need to know, from you,specifically what objeetions, problems,hazards,eonsiderations,or
<br /> difficulties the City laas�vith our proposed fencing and gates. If the City has any,then you would certain]y want us to
<br /> address them, in detail, in any applicatiun. 1 see��reasc►n Ehe CiEy sh�utd have any probiem wiEh c�ur impravement
<br /> plans. You saw exactly what they were,and where they were placed,until we removed them before your Jan. 1S,
<br /> 2003 deadline. So you should be able to respond in MORE detail,and MaRE effectively,and MORE specifically
<br /> than you could respond to mere survey depictia�s or va�•iance application descriptions. Please alsc�cite the sp�cific
<br /> basis and the lacarion in Orono City codes and/or regulations that provide the jurisdiction you ctaim and/or the City's
<br /> legal right to require any items(aside from those already cieariy stated in the fencing section of the City code and
<br /> regulaTions book)that the City will insist on regar�ing the City's items of c�ncern on our f�ncing and gates. I need
<br /> this additiana! inforn�ation so t}aat w�can provide t�e naflst app�•op�-iate,accurate,comprehensive,and useful
<br /> response ta the City at this stage of this process.
<br /> I have had discussions in the past with Mr. Morse and Mr. Gaffron in the city offices,specifically in April/May of
<br /> 2002,with regard to our desire,plans,and past efforts to improve ow existing fencing,gates,and lakeshore property.
<br /> I was told by Mr.Gaffroi�,during that meeting,that the City had already been receiving numerous comptaints about
<br /> the condition of the existing fencing and gates. He did not explain wha was complaining,or whether it was merely
<br /> multiple complaints frorrt the same souree. E explained that whatever we did to improve the fencing and gates or
<br /> anything else on thaY portion of our properiy, no maiter what it was,there have been and would be complaints due to
<br /> the r+diculously adversarial neighbors wl�o unfottu►�ately n3oved into tl�e two adjoining properties,9a5 and 980,on
<br /> each side of ours.They are extremely unhappy that Ehe cow-ts have ALL agreed that this property is,and always has
<br /> been,our exciusive privaEe property. They have boEh recenEiy comp4eted numerous and extensive works of various
<br /> kinds on their own properties with no resulting telephone ca11s or complaints to Orano from us! We have not been
<br /> wasiing City tir�e and�-eso�i�ces oi�groui�dless and sp+te�ul coi��plaints? They certainly have been.
<br /> Immediately after receiving your most recent threatening letter, I have,this afternoon,spoken by telephone with
<br /> Mike Gaffion(Mr. Morse was not in the office for the remainder of the day)and requested an appointment to
<br /> discuss these issues with Mr. Gaffron and Mr. Morse,again, in more detail.Mr. Gaffron has agreed to schedule such
<br /> a meeting and stated he will telephone me next week to set up the time and date for that meeting. ! trust tt�at you will
<br /> not initiate Eegat action of any kind,(especially as there are no possible grounds for any)and we look forward to your
<br /> replies ta our questions and the informalion we have requested in this ietter. information we need to determine what
<br /> is appropriate,necessary,and to submit any variance application, if one is determined to be necessary.Thank you.
<br /> Sincerely,
