RE: Zoning Violation=Watertown
Dear Ms. Annick:
Upon a routine inspection of your rental property located at the above address, the Building
Inspector noted certain improvements completed at the residence that were not authorized via a
building permit. During that inspection,the Inspector was also advised by an unnamed female renter
that the residence had two rental units. There is no record of building permits being issued for any
improvements within this structure nor would a duplex use be allowed within this single family
residential zoning district.
The duplex code only allows a duplex unit on properties located immediately adjacent to a
commercial zoning district. The subject property is located in the RR-1B, Rural Residential Zoning
District requiring a minimum of two acres in area per residential unit. The property is not adjacent
to a commercial zoned property.
The records of the City classify the residence as a single family residential use. It is not clear when
you authorized certain improvements to this structure that would have created the two independent
residential units.
Please contact the City offices no later than Monday, October 16, 1995 so that we may meet with
you at the site to inspect the facility and discuss the necessary alterations to bring the structure back
into conformance.
Failure to respond to the specified deadline will result in a citation being issued to you and the matter
referred to the City Attorney's office for appropriate legal action.

Dear Mrs. Mabusth
As to our agreement on Monday October 9 I would like to reiterate that no one
will be living on the ground floor of the house at 3 505 Watertown Road as long as the
stairway connecting to the upstairs is not reinstalled.
The space is used by myself as storage area. I had no intent nor will I have in the
future of renting it as a separate unit from the rest of the house.
I have talked to my friend and she will be ready to move within thirty days,
however, due to house rental timing it may be difficult for her to find adequate lodging by
November 10. I wondered if a deadline of December first would not be more fair in order
to give her time to find an appropriate home. I will leave that up to you.
Sincerely,
Annick Pratbernon

RE: 3505 Watertown Road - Zoning Violation
Dear Ms. Pratbernon:
On October 3, 1995, this office notified you that you were in violation of the Orono zoning code
by renting out a home in a single family zoning district as a duplex. In a letter from you on
October 11, 1995, you stated "your friend" would vacate the lower level by December 1 and that
you would use the lower level for storage only.
It has come to our attention that you are again renting both levels of the home in violation of the
zoning code. It has also come to our attention that more work has been done without building and
plumbing permits.
Therefore, the City is issuing Citation#3960486094 to you for violation of the zoning code. The
City must require you to discontinue the duplex use by August 1, 1996 and apply for building and
plumbing permits for work done in the home before July 22, 1996. If these deadlines are not met,
the City will issue further citations and refer the matter to the City Attorney for the appropriate
legal action. Also note that the circular stairs installed without a permit does not appear to meet
the requirements of the building code and will probably need to be removed. If you have any
questions, feel free to contact me at my office.
Sincere ,
