� � F�� zSSD �x S'r �Ee�iv�,�d Octobe�20, 2015 0(,�T � �zo�5 Mike Gaffron,City Pianner C��-�, OF ORONO Christine Mattson,Planning Assistant Please find enclosed copies of communication with 2530 Fox Street property owners and agents as regards their interest in reiocating the existing,longstanding driveway servicing properties of 2530, 2550,and 2580 Fox Street. Records show that this driveway preceded the subdivision creating 2530 and its buifdable tot,and was improved to service three homes. Records will show there is an existing easement for this driveway as well as a maintenance agreement, of which 2530 is currently in violation for not having contributed to specified winter service and ongoing drive mairrtenance. The property owners of 2530 have requested consideration of an alternate drive for 2550 and 2580, presumably to then dissoive the valid driveway easement currentty in place. This communication includes written notice of our disagreement with and disinterest in further considering a potentia!driveway relocation. We have included from 2530 an engineering rendering of a proposed new drive,which would require a portion of our properties for this unapproved use. To be clear,the property owners af 2550 and 2580 explicitly and categoricatly reject any proposal to relocate the exisiing drive allowir�g access to our p�operties. Somewhat separate but related,we also have significant concerns given recent spray-paint markings (ind'+cating likely removal)of at least two mature, healthy-taoking trees in the vicinity of the proposed drive ciose to Fox Street given Orono tity concerns in maintaining and preserving existing mature trees and that these trees are likely subject to existing watershed regulations. It is our hope that this notice wil!inform the city of Orono and potentially interested parties/home- buye�s in our position o�the alternate driveway proposed by owners of 2530 Fox Street. Sincerely, Jamin & Maria Marks Jay&Christine Malmquist
