2) What kind of communication can we expect from the city on the changes to the area? ' <br /> I don't feel these changes are being communicated well. A quick review of the meeting notes from the Feb <br /> 22nd Planning Meeting illustrates the city understood the exposure and the intent to build 7 homes in the same <br /> space 3 were originally intended. It wasn't until April Sth that a new sign had been 'displayed' with the new <br /> permit number... meaning it was placed under some brush next to what few trees are left. The legal notices <br /> posted in the Pioneer and Laker papers show only a permit to move dirt around on the property. <br /> 3) I'd ask you to consider my two questions as well the following to address these concerns: <br /> I'm not against development. I'm against risk and the dramatically changes to the natural beauty of our <br /> neighborhood. It's too many homes in such a small place. Moreover, the price point seems far outside of the <br /> market norm... unless this isn't the final price point or home style. I'd ask for the City to advocate for the <br /> following: <br /> • -A compromise between the City of Orono and the builder to reduce the number of houses built on the lots <br /> from 7 to the original approved plan of 3 houses <br /> • -A compromise between the City of Orono and the builder allowing larger houses on the lots with reduced <br /> setback and space requirements <br /> • -An environmental impact study reviewing the addition of 7 versus 3 houses on the Maple Place parcel to <br /> determine the potential risks and benefits to each development option <br /> • -A moratorium on all building and construction on 50 foot lots until City of Orono ordinances can be <br /> revised to accommodate existing state zoning laws <br /> I will be in attendance this Monday's meeting. I'd appreciate any of your responses in advance. Thank you. <br /> Nick Williams <br /> 3 843 Cherry Ave <br /> z <br />
