I appreciate that you are checking into this for us. Knowing you are busy with more than just my issue, I thought I would email just to recap what �e ta�ke� a�hou�t toda�. And also ta ex�aar� on a iFe�o �iirrgs that � didn't ha�e time to talk out today. itie mo�oedi irrto aur twuse in I►�fov��r "84. In '�S the �ul�re�^�t that �uas already �er our driveway was replaced by Orono because the original one had rotted out. After it was �pla�e� in '85,, Orono came an� re�alaced t�e � � af�er a � �eeks Decause the �ai.pe 'ti�y put in was too small to handle all the water that flows thru that ditch. The �ul�rert ex�der �he �ri�e�a� a�as arigi,nal to the pro�erty before �e �d in. It rotted out once and perhaps that is what has happened again. � �e wa�rte� ito re�pla�e our c�r�ive�ra�d, r�e� told Ib� �ono triat irhe cf�y oiF Oron� �uldr�'t allow us to put in a concrete driveway because if Orono needed to replace the culvert they �ld have to break u� t�he ��r�te. 6� �aere told a�e could use �o�rete bu� �ulc! ha�ae tv use either tar or rock approximately 15 feet from the road in case their was problem with the �e�l�ewt a�d the citao needed to re�la�e i�. We requested to fill in the ditch on both sides of the driveway, not because the ditch was a �rroble� ta us, bert becae�se the sid+� of tihe r� �s begiew�i� to br�eak �iF ireita the ditch. This was resulting in the road becoming more narrow and very precarious for drivers driving c� it�e road � fror �alf�ers. That ditch �as r�r� � an� �e had a fe� cars �6saper deliverer, a visitor to our house and a neighbor's etc) that ended up in that ditch and needed to be to�ue� ar�. �Ius aai� t�e narrr� �idth v� IRest P�eir�t la�e,� � �ar�s could not pass on that road. Not to mention the tar that was going into the ditch was washing into the lake �icl� r�s � en�eironme�tal issue. Because e� ea�ere �illir� to pay iFor the wbrk ta tae d�e„ Orono was very willing to give us the pipe that was needed to fill that area in. oRs I stated, it is fr�strat$ng as an 0r�a resi�eent that it see�rs that �ul�s are diiFiFererrt for different people. As examples, Lorie Line as been allowed to turn a fire lane or public a�a �rrto teer° o�n, remo�e cit� signs that �esi�a�� lhat area as a publi� pro�ae�rt� a�d �ext in huge arborvitae trees at the edge of her property. Our neighbor on the lake has huge trees right on tk�e �road an� tt�e� ha�n°t been rem��aed. �Ne ha�e tried to ca�ryp�� ith e�er�tt�ir�g loou ask. We removed the dogwood when you asked. We don't complain that the snow plow scrapes abou� �� fiee�t irrto our road c�rery time it s�s �a� onl� an ou�� sidfe of tlhe rc�...to isaYce the road wider which they couldn't do if there was still that ditch there) and it creates a �Ienr �ith tlhe grass e�e� s�rir�. We wouldn't be requesting this if we hadn't been told that we couldn't put in a concrete drive�a� b�ecca+use "if eit� needs to replace iti�e ��rt_...." �und �e roul�n't be requestirog this if the culvert hadn't become a major problem. 7hanics again i�or your ti�.
