Dear Mike:
As you are aware, I currently reside at 2755 Casco Point Road and have been
here for approximately six years. We purchased this property and tore down an
old house and erected a new one. This property sits across the street (Casco
Point Road) from the above-mentioned lots. Over the last six years, I have
noticed that the above mentioned city properties have been used for various
needs. I continually see people using this area as a turn-around, a public
parking lot, an area to throw trash, and an area for young teenagers to
congregate in their cars. Many times I have heard cars screeching out of this
so-called parking area at various times of the day. In addition to the above
forementioned, the City has not put forth much effort in maintaining this
property. It is currently pretty much an eyesore to the residents in this
area, especially to my property which sits directly across to the west.
I would like to propose an offer to the City of Orono to purchase this
property. My plans for the purchase would be to upgrade the property,
including clean-up and general landscaping. I would then also erect
additional garage space to this property which would complement my property at
2755 Casco Point Road. Our current residence allows us very minimal space for
vehicle turnaround and vehicle storage. Rather than store boats, trailers,
carS. etc. , outside, I would like to use this area as an inside storage. The
pr3cor-ed garage would be made of similar type material, siding and exterior
look as our current house.
The reason for my proposal would be to eliminate the City's liability of this
property, to eliminate an eyesore for the residents around it, and to clean up
the unnecessary vehicle storage and inappropriate use for this property. I
would be open to adding these parcels to my current property tax statement,
which would allow additional funds to be taxed by the City. This would create
additional property tax cash flow to the City.
