Subject:Tonite Meeting Re 2815 Casco Point

Hi Melanie;
I am unable to attend the meeting tonite, however I have some concerns.
The main issue is consideration for conservation issues, health of the lake issues by the DNR, LMCD. The chances
of planting anything in compacted gravel and having it survive is ridiculous. That ship sailed the minute the city and
Valdes initiated the project. Further, with all the concerns expressed by the neighborhood all seemed to be
dismissed by the city. With no penalty imposed in the owner, it seems to leave Orono residents to have a free for all.
Why not do what you want and ask for forgiveness? there is no penalty. I thought the mayor and city council, the
powers that be are elected to look out for our health, safety, structural integrity and to make sure people follow the
ordinances for the betterment of all.
We as realtors are well aware of hardcover, bluff ordinances, drainage, variances, set backs, and on and on. None of
that was considered and the only emergency here is the one Valdes created themselves with tearing into the bluff
and removing everything and every plant that was serving to hold the bluff in place. Creating a road down to the
shore. This has been very disappointing at best and extremely eye opening when counseling lakeshore buyers what
can be done as they consider buying lakeshore. There are no penalties.
