Re: RobertTvlacuonaid, 2480 Oid Beach Road
Dear Mr. Oman:
This is to follow-up on our telephone conversation of June 30, 2004. I represent Robert
MacDonald with respect to the zoning and building permit issues concerning the above property
in the City of Orono. Mr. MacDonald contacted our firm yesterday for assistance in this matter.
I understand that you sent him a letter which requested certain action by July 6, 2004, or else you
would need to consider referring the matter to the City's legal counsel for possible legal action. I
have not yet had a chance to review the letter. Based on our telephone conversation, however, I
understand that the relevant date is now July 23, rather than July 6. I will review the letter and
the associated issues with Mr. MacDonald and get back in touch with you soon.
Thank you very much.
Very truly yours,
LEONARD, STREET AND DEINARD, P.A.

Dear Janice:
As we discussed, Mr. MacDonald is preceding with removing the hardcover as required by the
variance permit issued by the City of Orono. During removal of the hardcover, Mr.
MacDonald's contractor discovered a 4-inch slab of concrete which is taking additional time to
remove. Based on my conversations with Mr. MacDonald's contractors, it is my expectation that
the work should be complete and be able to be inspected by the City prior to the November 12,
2004 deadline.
However, the discovery of the 4-inch slab of concrete was a surprise and has resulted in the work
taking longer than expected. The purpose for my call yesterday was to let the City know about
the status of the work and of the possibility that Mr. MacDonald would be requesting a
reasonable extension of the November 12 deadline. You indicated that as long as the work was
moving forward you did not see a problem with granting such a request. Thank you for your
cooperation.
I am hopeful that the work will be complete by November 12, 2004, and that this matter will then
be complete.
Very truly yours,
LEON TREET AND DEINARD
