Given the lack of documentation, difficulty of reconstructing events that occurred so long ago, and the fact that the current survey shows the area proposed for building site(s) is above the Ordinary High Water elevation of 929.4 feet, DNR would not oppose this development provided that it meets all of the provisions of the City's Shoreland and Floodplain ordinances. You also may want to require that a wetland delineation be completed as some of the site may still meet the parameters to be considered jurisdictional wetland as regulated under the Wetland Conservation Act.

This property consists of wetland that was filled in the late 1950s/early 1960s, and according to the attached letter received by the City during a proposed re-platting of the site in 1975,the fill was not approved by the DNR. Attached are various documents including: - October 201975 letter from Richard Haefele, attorney representing himself and the neighborhood, indicating that John Chell (whom I worked for as a Laborer in the DNR Rochester Office in 1977) had visited the site and indicated the fill was illegal; - Airphotos from 1937-1971 that help to pinpoint the time the majority of filling occurred, sometime between 1956 and 1967; - Plat drawing when the property was subdivided as Tracts W and X of the Casco Cove Addition in 1955, and a copy of current plat map and plat/airphoto overlay; - Copy of the 1971 re-plat of W and X into Lots 1-2-3 of Casco Point Addition; - Current survey of the property; and - Conceptually proposed construction of two homes on the property. In 1974 the City approved a re-plat of Lots 1-2-3 into just two lots,with the caveat that subdivision approval did not guarantee they were buildable. That subdivision was never filed. Around that same time the City mapped wetlands and showed the entire property as wetland, although by then it had been filled and existed much as it does today. I am requesting your review of this site to determine whether DNR formally considers this as a documented illegal wetland fill for which building permits should not be issued, or whether the DNR would not oppose it being built on. I have a meeting next week with a realtor who apparently is marketing this property for the Lupient family who have owned it for many years. Any light you can shed on this would be helpful. Please feel free to call or email if you have any questions. Thank you! Mike Michael P.Gaffron Senior Planner City of Orono (Street Address)2750 Kelley Parkway (Mailing Address) P.O.
