Mike Gaffron From: Mike Gaffron Sent: Friday, September 24, 2010 3:01 PM To: 'RJodan@aol.com' Cc: Lyle Oman; Melanie Curtis; Willie Gibbs Subject: 795 Bridgewater Drive- Stand-alone Dwelling Unit Bob— Thank you for your letter on behalf of the Stonebay of Orono Community Association regarding the townhome at 795 Bridgewater Drive and stand-alone units in general. The original building permit issued for this unit indicated the concrete wall would be painted to match the remainder of the exterior. The City issued a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy(TCO) for this unit in March 2009 noting that the remaining work to be completed included exterior paint.The picture you provided clearly shows that the wall has not yet been painted. No Final Certificate of Occupancy has been granted; however, we agree that the current wall finish, or lack of it, is unacceptable. We will follow up with the builder and would hope to have this issue rectified for this unit this fall, by having the builder paint the concrete wall to match the color of the adjacent siding. As you may surmise, construction of a single unit of a planned group of 2 or 3 units was not anticipated when original approvals for Stonebay were granted. However, if partial dwelling groups are proposed in the future at Stonebay,the City will require that an unfinished future party wall be finished with siding materials equivalent to the adjacent siding materials prior to issuance of a TCO, if at the time of TCO request a permit for the adjacent dwelling unit has not been applied for. Please feel free to contact me if you have additional questions.
