— 3' <br /> some time , none of the interest in this� is in any <br /> ones personal interest . What we are trvinq to <br /> represent and what we are tryin� to ask our council <br /> to do , is to represent and listen to the citizens <br /> and the taxpavers of Orono with respect to <br /> whatever continued use there is to this corner anc3 <br /> the shoreline . NowIwould sayoffhand , the f_irst <br /> � placeawe ouqht to divorce , and mv memo speaks of <br /> this , in affect the question or seperate into two <br /> parts , the question of Mr . & Mr . Greqory' s <br /> property rights and whether they can have the <br /> � right to build a home site on that which will take <br /> the vacation of_ the old Bracket�s Avenue . I <br /> understood this was built way back in 1887 and it <br /> is a lonq disputed problem but I haven ' t heard <br /> anyone say that it has never been used they have <br /> been paying taxes on the property and it should not <br /> be vacated , and I think they are in aqreement on <br /> this , I was with Mr . Greqory and Mr . Olson today <br /> and later talked to Mr . Berq , and if I understand <br /> it accordina to the map an�3 the plan nresented to <br /> you tonight they are in agreement to that , and I <br /> don ' t believe anyone here tonight , I don ' t <br /> represent every neiqhbor but I have talked to a lot <br /> of them , and I don ' t think anyone is qoinq to <br /> ob�ect to that . I think the point where we <br /> perhaps will ask you take a further look at and <br /> consideration of are these : <br /> l . With respect to the title , and the onlv reason <br /> that we are involved as other citizens and the <br /> reason Molly' s Corner is involved , is when you <br /> vacate certain piece of lands and when Mr . Gregory <br /> qives you back to the City of Orono a little island <br /> in the middle of that parking lot . Obviously you <br /> bring up the question, who is going to do what to it <br /> and what should it be use for . I expresse again <br /> the opinion that I have not heard Mr . Olson , in <br /> fact I have read all his memos , and in two or three <br /> of them he saic3 there i s no intent to expand any use <br /> of the parking lot in this area , and I believe that <br /> is the opinion of the Council . Even if all of us <br /> urged that you maintain it . But the point we have <br /> to decide here is what are you qoing to do with it <br /> and is anythinq you are doinq in drawinq the new <br /> boundry lines and in the vacating certain <br /> properties of the Greqory' s and then conceding <br /> certain properties to the City of Orono , are you <br /> but in fact invitinq certain expansion of that <br /> area , or are you willinq to close it down entirely? <br /> Or are vou willinQ to control it and beautify it <br /> and control it for the safety of the citizens and <br /> try to control it and perhaps reduce the use of it , <br /> and that is what I think should be done . <br />
