RE: Ski Tonka
Dear Mr*. Olson:
I understand that the people at Suburban
Engineering have contacted you regarding some planning problems
for the tract of land formerly used by Ski Tonka, Inc.
I represent Brent Primus and his Mother (the widow
of Lee Primus) and I wanted to respond In what I hope will be a
helpful manner to you.
There may be some problems with some of these
transactions but I wanted to try to sunmarlze them for you
and hope that we could consider resolving these problems as
a part of the overall transaction. I would be happy to meet
with you at any time.
The middle 20 acres were deeded to Mr. and Mrs. Primus
on September 15,1948; a contract for deed was entered on June 10,
1967 with Mr. and Mrs. Cuff, and a deed given on January 10, 1975.*
As to the westerly one-half which apparently Is
another 20 acres, a Judgment was entered before the Primus'
acquired the property, which ultimately ended up In the
Sheriff's attachment and sale, and one acre was then deeded
to the Ackey's and the balance was deeded to Mr. and Mrs.
Primus on October 28, 1964, except for the one acre that had
been attached. This was subsequently conveyed In 1974 by the /f
Primus' to Ski Tonka, Inc., except for the tract owned by the.;:' / /jt y
Ackey's and one other acre which Is now occupied by the Dunn^~^ y
house. It Is my understanding that separate taxes have been
rendered on these.
* a part of this parcel
Mr. Alan Olson -2-October 13, 1982
As to the east 40 acres which was acquired on w
October 29, 1974, by Mr. Lee Primus and conveyed by him at- -> ^ / /Y
approximately the same time to Ski Tonka, except for a one ,, /r^/e^v
acre tract retained and subject to a contract for deed ta
Mr. Gove. This contract had a provision in it to the effect
that the conveyance was not effective unless and until the
lot divisions were approved.

thatOur desire here is to clean up these matters so
they do meet the Ordinances and so that we can resolve these
matters so that the property can be sold and the various mortgagees
paid in full.
I should point out further that a conveyance was
made on July 20, 1981 to the City of Orono for a street, and
at that time I do not recall any question being raised on these
matters.
I would appreciate your call, and if you wish I
would be happy to meet with you so that we can either an*wer
questions or obtain additional information for you.
■ vi
Yours truly.
