MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,October 16,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> been contacting his lawyers,and when lawyers are talking back and forth,the neighbors are not talking. <br /> Dunkley stated the bottom line is that the Huelers have an easement to drive 600 feet on land he now <br /> owns and that they share the agreement for maintenance. Dunkley noted they will be making the <br /> driveway twice as wide and improving it and the Huelers do not have to pay for that. Dunkley <br /> commented all the Huelers have is a right to drive on the land and that he is not sure what the dispute is <br /> for them. <br /> Thiesse stated the easement allows them to be on the land. <br /> Dunkley stated that is undisputed and that the Huelers will always have that right. Dunkley stated it is <br /> their land and that they can make the driveway nicer and wider and relocate it. Dunkley noted he has two <br /> attorney opinions that support that. Dunkley stated if the Huelers have a legal issue,there are legal <br /> remedies and they can either commence an arbitration or sue,but that they will always have the easement. <br /> Dunkleys stated it is their land however. <br /> Schoenzeit asked if they are parking on it or blocking the Huelers' access in any way. <br /> William Dunkley stated one morning a company removing a tree blocked their way out and that he is not <br /> sure how that happened. Dunkley indicated he was not there at the time. <br /> Schoenzeit asked if the Dunkleys know they cannot block it long-term. <br /> Dunkley stated they are absolutely aware of that. <br /> Sue Dunkley noted when the driveway is paved,there will be an issue and that they will need to figure <br /> something out. <br /> William Dunkley stated that is why they proposed the road be 16 feet wide as opposed to 12 feet wide so <br /> cars can pass by each other. Dunkley stated they are proposing to make the road wider and safer and that <br /> they will be paying for it. Dunkley stated the Huelers have a permanent easement to use the driveway. <br /> Thiesse asked about the stop work order. <br /> Sue Dunkley stated the previous owners of the house had the right to remove anything from the house <br /> that they wanted prior to demolition. Dunkley indicated they did not touch the house and that the former <br /> owners removed a lot of stuff from the house. <br /> Curtis noted the work that occurred on the interior of the house happened prior to the demolition order <br /> was issued and that the stop work order was posted for the work within 75 feet of the lake. <br /> Mark Howry stated the tree removal company started removing boulders that were up against the back of <br /> the house and not near the water. The tree removal company then started removing buckthorn and a large <br /> concrete foundation. <br /> Sue Dunkley commented there used to be a boathouse down there. <br /> Howry stated once that was removed,they graded everything out and placed straw down. <br /> Page 8 of 32 <br />
