Melanie,
Regarding the upcoming planning commission meeting and the requested variance for hard
cover at 2697 Casco Point Rd. The traffic on Casco Point Road ( CPR) has become
increasingly heavy. The current driveway configuration requires the resident to back up hill on
a curve to enter CPR, a very dangerous maneuver .
The addition of a 10X10 foot paved turn around would allow the driver to enter CPR from a
forward facing position. I encourage the planning commission to approve this variance request
Thank you

Dear Ms. Curtis,
I reside at 2659 Casco Point Road in Orono. I’m writing to express my support for a hardcover
variance application by my neighbors, the Engers of 2697 Casco Point Road. My understanding is
that they are applying for a permit to pave a turnaround space to facilitate cars, delivery, and service
vehicles which, with a little additional space, would not have to back out onto Casco Point Road from
the residence. As a frequent walker in the neighborhood (with dogs on leash, of course), I can attest
that a turnaround space allowing vehicles to drive up the hill and enter CPR facing forward would
enhance safety significantly. We all know how driving forward is better that backing up!
Thanks for your consideration

Melanie and Planning Commission Members,
We live several houses away from Mark and Mary Engler on Casco Point
and want to register our support for their hardcover variance
LA20-000058. Their request makes sense from a safety standpoint,
especially given the steep grade of their driveway and its
intersection with Casco Point Road.
Thank you,
Richard and Janet Putnam
