Mr. Gaffron July 11, 1996 Page 2 3. In the event Mr. Dunn cannot obtain a building permit for a private residence on this particular site, cannot use the site for commercial purposes, and cannot construct a private dock on the site what, if any, use of this property is permitted by the City of Orono's zoning classification? 4. Are there other instances in which the City of Orono has either authorized or acquiesced to the construction of a private or commercial dock facility in LR-1C zoning classifications or any other zoning classification which requires users to cross public thoroughfares to gain access to the dock? If so, please specify the location of such facilities. I understand much of the information sought above might be perceived by you as arcane. However, it is my understanding this particular parcel of property is not sufficiently large to permit construction of any structure and if Mr. Dunn is unable to construct a private dock on the site, whatever value this parcel may have has been effectively taken by the City of Orono. Further, I also have information that, to avoid such an unfair result, the City of Orono has routinely permitted other property owners to construct private or commercial docks in areas which require the crossing of a public thoroughfare to gain access to the dock. In that event, I am understandably curious why the City seems to be treating Mr. Dunn differently than other property owners. Confirming the accuracy of this information, or correcting any misunderstanding on my part, will be quite helpful as I advise Mr. Dunn of the legal options available to him and his prospects for success in connection with any possible legal proceeding involving your June 5, 1996 letter. If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call. Very o� , Glenn P. Bruder GPB/jv cc: James Dunn MITCHELL & BRUDER
